This is the 2nd year in a row that Bar Wellington have not staffed their place properly for Mother's Day. They know how busy it gets on that day as they also have to deal with runners from the Sporting Life 10k.
Additionally, I think it's pathetic that a restaurant in a city as diverse as Toronto does not have non-pork options for their breakfast. I ordered the "Big Breakfast" and asked for an alternative. They did not have anything to offer, not even a slice of tomatoe! They said I could add a slice of avocado for $4 which is highway robbery. And when we asked if the price could be adjusted they said on Mother's Day they can't make alterations to their menu because the plates are carefully constructed to a price point!.
There is a large segment of the population that do not eat pork and would appreciate alternatives or at the very least a price reduction. How hard is it to remove sausage from a breakfast and outline on the menu that without it the meal is $1 less (or some other price)??
I think it's a mistake on their part to miss out on this segment of the population and on principle I will advise people not to eat here until they can get with the times.
