Ever have an overattentive waiter who was acting as if he was on reality show?
Not a fun experience.
Came to Valdez, which was the worst dining experience I had in Toronto by far.
The food was subpar. It wasn't anything special, I've had much better. Our waiter kept pressuring us to get more food even though I wasn't in the mood for anything else.
Yes I understand the dishes are small. I ate a lot today and I'm not looking for much. Yes I'm sure.
Am I sure that I'm sure?
Yes I'm sure.
He convinced my friend to get Ceviche which we split. It was bad, very bland. We split the Chafua, once again on his recommendation and once again it bombed. Dude, I really was just in the mood for some Arepas or Empanadas.
The waiter would approach us as if there was a camera on him and was even being a bit snobby. As if he knew best on everything. Then would check in on us every three minutes and if we didn't get something, he would stare at us with a confused look.
No we're not drinking right now. We don't want anything to drink, for the fifth time.
Overall I didn't like my experience at Valdez and can't recommend it to anyone. Looked nice, but that's about it.
