| - Okay, so I here we go!
First Impression- 0/5- My first experience was bad right off the bat. I had bought a Groupon and decided to check it out. I had booked a reservation for my husband and I online through Open Table for the last day of the deal Dec 27th and mentioned my Groupon and phone number in case of any problems. I received a call back from Elsie saying that if you HAVE to come then okay, but it would be better you came another night and that they decided to extending the Groupon until January 24 and she said to book and reserve a WEEK in advance. WHAT? Are you kidding me? First of all we decided to reschedule for sure as we felt unimportant and an inconvenience. We were shocked that a restaurant would say that-busy or not! Groupon or not!
The visit- 1/5 our first entry in the restaurant we knew we must have been greeted by the same server everyone talks about in the reviews (which I am guessing is the same lady we spoke to over the phone). Again, like it would kill her to crack a smile or be friendly and approachable.
Ambiance- 4/5- I have to say I really appreciated. Great lighting, art and clean washrooms!
Staff- 4/5- Aside from "Sad Sally" staff was awesome and really a pleasure. We had Stacey? (I Think) and we LOVED her! She did a fab job.
Food- 2.5/5- Was really looking forward to this as we love the "Globe" concept. A waiter did offer us a small tasting as compliments of the kitchen which was very nice. But, overall I have to agree with other reviews here. Food was very mediocre and some of it was really blah in my opinion. Look at it this way, I would never order it again, let alone pay a whopping $100 for the meal! Presentation is really the only excitement you got out of the food. My husband also did leave hungry which is never a good sign. Yea it was a tasting, but it was also 5 courses!
Wine- like every restaurant WAY overpriced.
Would I go back? nah, pretty sure I wouldn't
Would it be worth the cost? nah, def not, it's overpriced
Would I recommend? Sorry, gotta be honest, I wish I could say yes as management looked as though they were trying hard, but no neither of us will return.
