There's good and bad things about the The Combine.
The good - the food, I've tried almost everything (except the fish tacos...), and like it all. The wait staff are really nice as well.
The bad - the owner (the woman - her brother is a doll). But she is unbelievably rude. She raised her voice at a friend of mine because she asked for the fish tacos in lettuce wraps (it's a dietary issue). My friend is the calmest nicest person ever, never gets upset with wait staff, she's extremely polite and asked nicely. The owner told her to stop ordering outside the menu, that it upset her chef (seriously? what a Prima Donna if that's the case, which I highly doubt). At one point she actually shook her finger in her face.
This woman told me that her restaurant was better than any of the others on the Danforth because she had class and she lived in the neighborhood. She kept dissing Allen's across the street - that's been there forever. Yikes!!
I hope she reads these and cleans up her act, because the restaurant has potential, but not with that kind of attitude.
I'm giving the restaurant 4 stars for the food and wait staff, if I could rate her alone, it would be a minus...
