| - I was hesitating to write a review on our visit to Stakefrites, but reading some of the negative reviews I have decided to submit my experiences. After reporting in the past on some of our Toronto dining experiences, and reviewing the numerous comments submitted, we came to the conclusion that any experience reported could depend on the background of the writer and any hiccups or emergencies happening at the restaurant on that day and hour. We all have different tastes, for example, I found with my European background, the sheep's eye served at my welcoming dinner put on by the Saudi Royal family not very appetizing, to say the least. Regarding some of the comments on the serving staff attitudes, may be the establishment tried to emulate authentic restaurants in France, where the serving staff attitudes sometime are bordering with rudeness.
This was our second visit to Stakefrites, as we were so impressed with the food, ambiance and service. We had Liver Pate, Arctic Char, Calf Liver, Steak, Veal Normande and all were excellent, not to mention the Chocolate mousse. The server was rushed off his feet, as the place was full, yet he was polite and efficient. Prices were OK, little higher than the average charged in many of the Toronto restaurants, where in our opinion the food was mediocre at best, but you get what you pay for. We will be back for sure.
