| - Finally got a chance to check out the new Texas Longhorn, after being a long time patron of the original location on Dundas near Cawthra. What used to be the "best fajitas this side of Texas", are now nowhere near that.
To begin with, gone is the southwestern charm of squeaky wood floors and huge wooden booths. That design is replaced by your typical mall design with clean tiles, sterile tables and small booths. The outdoor patio is adjacent to the parking lot and some trees or shrubs would have been nice to black out the site of people parking.
The service is slow, the food is not good and the portions are about half of what they used to be at the original location. I counted about 6 small strips of steak in the chicken and steak fajitas. After fidgeting with our food, due to the less-than-stellar-taste, the waitress comes over and I asked, "is this the same TLH that was on Dundas?", to which she replied, "yes....you didn't enjoy your dining experience at TLH?", with a grin.
I long for the old days of hot tortilla chips from the bin and fajitas that make your mouth water. Nice try on the re-design, but it's time for me to find a substitute.
