| - The food was okay. I went as part of Big Taste, and the lobster bisque was amazing. The prawn pasta was ok. The really disappointing part was the service. I went with a group of friends, and our table of 4 young professional women was treated quite poorly. When we walked in the hostess saw us, sat the group that was before us, and came back to help the people who came in after us. That couple pointed out that we were actually next and the hostess just said "well, do you still want me to seat you?" making the other couple feel quite uncomfortable as well. We insisted they continue being seated. Sadly our waitress wasn't much better. She was clearly not impressed serving us, and made us rearrange our own plates, etc. She wasn't overly chatty which would have been fine if we hadn't been able to hear her chatting up the more mature tables around us. The worst part by far was when we received our bill. It came as one amount, and she expected us to quickly do the math to split the total as she waited. She finally decided to give us a moment to calculate, reminding us to "include gratuity and gst" before walking away. We calculated our totals and each paid separately. Simple math calculations could tell her that our bill was paid plus her tip, but she told me to open the calculator function on my phone and proceeded to tell me to add up each of the amounts we paid to ensure we had paid enough. It was completely insulting. We all have university degrees, good jobs, and were dressed well. We just happened to be under 30. We're a polite group too! We all worked in stores and restaurants during school, and I get that there's bad days. But this was beyond that. I can speak for all of us when I say we won't be going back.
