| - Bringing someone here is the exact opposite of how to expose them to vegetarian cuisine.
The FOOD: I've been here twice and tried a soup, a stew and a sandwich. The lentil soup was just inexplicably bland. The sandwich somehow seemed to extract the flavor from the vegetables. Vegetarian food normally is very flavorful, both well-spiced and well-seasoned; however, this is quite a miss on that account.
The SERVICE: Wow, the counter agents are unfriendly. Not helpful, no smiles, impatient. They had run out of dishes, so only oddy sized dishes were available to fit on the tray, which did not fit. So basically it turned out to be a difficult exercise to eat. Even worse, the dish return area had not been cleared. The stack that was building looked like it was from a Chinese Acrobats showing. Almost impossible to balance anything else. The seating was also a disaster, uncomfortable chairs, overly full.
OVERALL: I see that this place used to be good, but right now, I would call it a disaster. It's perhaps the worst food I've had in Toronto. In fact, I brought a vegetarian colleague here the first time I came and he only finished 1/3 of his plate...that said more than enough. Very embarrassing for me.
