Well I can say that's Boxwood is one of those places that was a 'debut and a finale' at the same time. That is, I won't be going back there again. Too bad, because the location and the view of Memorial Park is nice.
Anyway, the staff was friendly, but very unprofessional. My husband and I had eaten somewhere else and wanted just a coffee and dessert on the outside patio.
They brought me cream that was spoiled. It curdled the minute I poured it into the coffee. Strike one.
Next thing I got a cup with lipstick on it. The pretty waitress told me that it can be wiped off . I did not know what to answer to that . YUCK :S. Strike two.
Got a different cup, this time the inside had stains of some other dirt, possibly cream or coffee from the previous customer. I pointed out to the waitress that she could run her finger inside it and feel the dirt. By that time she ran inside and came out very soon with the same cup she possibly just rinsed under the faucet. I was totally grossed out and just wanted to leave. I don't think the staff has had any training in hygiene codes.
Anyway I'd rather walk over to Tim Hortons a block or two away - get my $ 2 coffee and sit on any bench of Memorial Park knowing I am not drinking bacteria or other ladies lipstick. The management did not charge us for my husbands coffee and were very apologetic, but that is just not good enough. Won't be visiting that place again.
