| - From the 44th floor so close to the CN tower with a gorgeous pool. the view alone is worth coming here. It has tables and lounge pods, the interior was also beautiful with lots of light wood, the vibe was great.
A reservation was made for 4 people at 9.30pm, when I was getting in they were starting to form a short line for the night. Went inside and was given a plastic card to take the elevator up. There was a bit of confusion at the elevator about our reservation. We made it up 10 minutes later. We stood at the front waiting for a hostess for a while, we were greeted by at least 3 different people but still haven't gotten a table, it seemed to be disorganized and overbooked. We were told we would be getting table but everyone seemed to be just walking around not knowing what to do.
Another 10 minutes pass by and we are still standing there, at this point we were standing around for almost 20 minutes. A manager came by (or someone with an earpiece) and acknowledged we have been waiting around and was unhappy with the staff, but he had the audacity to say "We have the most beautiful hostess but she is also the stupidest" and went on to tell us how he thought she was dumb. I was appalled that he said that to us! CASUAL MISOGYNY just being thrown around especially to paying customers. I can understand that he was upset but it was just hard to stomach.
We finally got a table, an amazing corner table with a wrap around view. I got the meatballs for $14, the price was very good for a place like this. It came with lots of crispy pita with a savoury tomato sauce. The meatballs were hot and were a good portion size. I was pleasantly surprised. I also got a cocktail for $18, which was fine it was good.
We also got chicken skewers for the table to share. I bit into my piece and it was completely RAW on the inside! We returned the chicken and were not charged for it and we were given 2 desserts instead. We got the tres leche cake, which was great it was really moist. And the panna cotta which was soooo good, it came with kiwi and pineapple. It was refreshing and sweet I would order this again.
Our server at our table was extremely nice, much better than the other service we have received from any one else. By the time we were leaving almost midnight they were no longer letting people in.
I want to like this place so badly but there were just so many faults that night from the raw chicken but especially the man who called their hostess stupid out loud to customers. I would love to come back but have a hard time support a restaurant that feeds into sexism.
