| - My boyfriend and I used to like coming here for a weekend breakfast while we were running errands in Etobicoke. we'd have breakfast at "The Q" twice a month. It's almost always busy, but and they have a few servers who are outstanding and really good at their jobs. I feel sad for these servers because they they have to work with the other half of the staff who are absolute tools.
The worst was Club Boy, a faux-hawked sleepy eyed 20 something guy, who did nothing but stand around and try to look hot. He arrived at thetable 15 minutes after we sat, despite the fact that he was lollygagging by the kitchen. He completely messed up our order and when I mentioned that there must have been some confusion, he WINKED AT ME! Like... what? Dude, I could be your Mother (well, no I couldn't because I'm proud to say that nothing that stupid has come that close to my who-who), but why on earth would you wink at me? I'm supposed to think that you're so hot that I just don't care that you got our orders wrong?
I watched the entire place going haywire while he just stood there bobbing his head. It was obvious that the other serving staff hated him enough to not even help him.
I had to take my bill to the cash register after waiting 20 minutes from the time he dropped off the bill (which we had to ask for twice).
Twice we were also served by another gentleman who left us waiting forever. We sat in the front area that was a little out of the way and we sat for 10 minutes without menus. When we got them, it took our server forever to return to ask for coffee. Don't deny me my caffeine in the morning, or I will be very grumpy. We were there for 2 hours in total just for breakfast. The second time we went and he was our server, things were much the same.
Eventually, we just stopped coming to the Q. The rage inducing waits for coffee and stupid staff just drove us away.
I will say that we have been there numerous times and had great service. But when it's hit or miss, you don't want to risk a miss.
