  • We were very excited to try Rock Lobster, and needed a quick bite before heading to a play at Passe Muraille. We each had a beer, and then shared nibblies- Donair Poutine, Fish Cakes, and Fried Pickles. Firstly, the beer (at around $7) was not a pint at all, but more like a 12 (or at most a 14oz. glass). We were both disappointed and felt ripped off. If a pint is not 18 to 20 oz., unless it's some sort of specialty beer, print the volume on the menu. This type of sneaky marketing is both tacky and deceiving. The food was a huge disappointment all around. The fried pickles were so so, but the batter was extremely greasy and a bit tasteless. The fish cakes were burnt and tiny; at $11 for three tiny, mediocre cakes, they seemed very overpriced and weren't nearly as good as others we've tried. The Poutine was the absolute worst part of the meal, hands down. The fries were burnt and the miniscule pile of cheese curds weren't even luke warm, let alone deliciously hot and melted as you would expect on any good Poutine. The small portion of Donair meat was dry and the sauce itself was so sweet and seemed like it belonged on a dessert. I understand Donair sauce is meant to be sweet, but my boyfriend said it was terrible compared to the tasty sauce they serve in the Maritimes. The hardest pill to swallow: Poutine for $15. I have no problem paying more money for a novelty twist on a meal when it is delicious, but I would have much rather enjoyed a Poutine from NY Fries, or even McDonalds (tells you just how bad this was). The food wasn't even mediocre, it was absolutely terrible. The only thing that wasn't a huge disappointment was the service. It didn't knock my socks off, but it was fine and the waitress was pleasant and attentive. Needless to say, it's too bad, but we won't be back. I highly recommend checking out ANY other funky little place on this Queen West strip and skipping this joint. I have never written a review on Yelp, ever, and if anything, I am usually only compelled to write a good review on a place because I rarely have a night out when I can't find any upside to a meal/restaurant. We both realized that neither of us could remember a time when we had enjoyed a meal out as little as this one. This place was just terrible. Don't waste your money or your time.
