On Saturday, Sept 24, my boyfriend and I ordered the smoked & poached poutine to share. I'm health conscious, so I immediately refused to eat anything more than a few soggy potatoes. It was literally a pile of greasy goop. After he ate the majority of it, my 29 year old partner, who generally likes greasy food (therefore his stomach is used to this type of meal) got the worst food poisoning I've ever witnessed. I'm glad I followed my gut and opted out of eating the undercooked medium poached eggs. He vomited for 9 hours. It had to have been Gruman's, because we hadn't eaten anything else that day.
We had already attempted to give this place a try once, but since the parking situation is so horrendous we had to come back on the weekend... Why they have empty reserved parking stalls surrounding the restaurant is beyond me, I guess they don't care if their customers get ticketed.
Whatever you do, don't order this meal. Make sure you specify that you want your eggs fully cooked. The service was friendly and the decor was nice, I was expecting the food to be better.
