The food was certainly not the quality we were expecting.
We ordered the chateaubriand for two as well as the new york steak. The chateaubriand lacked any flavor. The new york steak was acceptable.
The service however, was very poor and took away from our experience. We were not offered drinks until at least 20 minutes after seating. They took our dinner orders about 20 minutes later. The martini was poorly made. The re-make wasn't much better and they only managed to spare one single olive with my dirty martini Nobody checked on us even once to follow up after the main entrees arrived. Quite unimpressive for a restaurant that claims to be a high-end steakhouse. It is not on par with La Castille Zorro's, Chop or even any of The Kegs.
The men's bathroom was disgusting and filthy and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in the last 24 hours. I don't even expect this sort of service at a rest area Tim Hortons.
I usually prefer the non-franchise options which is why we decided to try Aristotle but in this case, the Keg would've been a much better option.
