| - I can't believe I have to write a poor review for a restaurant in my own neighbourhood! This afternoon, I went into l'Ouefrier with my daughter. We arrived at 2:20, and since the restaurant closes at 3pm (as advertised on the door), I asked the owner if our timing was okay. Another table was being served, and he said yes. We ordered our food and it arrived quickly. At 2:30, my daughter noticed a smell of chlorine and the mop came out. The tables were moved, hitting the back of my daughter's chair, and the mop was used by our feet. Alarmed, I asked our waitress (who was lovely) to pack our food, that we could take it home. The owner ignored my comment and continued to rearrange the salt shakers on nearby tables. When I got the nerve, I asked him why had he not told us that the timing was not right, and that he would be mopping within 10 minutes of our arrival? He was rude, told me that he recognized me, and knew that my family and I were patrons over the last three years, and that I should know "the rules". Ha! It's written 3pm on his door, I reminded him. He replied "everybody is OUT by 3", "I don't want to pay overtime". I explained that I was shocked at his behavior and the way he was speaking to me- and how outrageous to be so disrespectful in front of my daughter. He asked me what I wanted from him? I responded that an apology would have been good, or even to offer to move us to the back of the restaurant, and if not, offer a discount on our meal. He responded that they don't make enough money for that. So I gave the waitress a big tip (cash), paid for the remainder of the lunch on Visa and left their establishment. He was rude, interrupting, and careless- Needless to say, they will never see me or my family again..
