This evening my friends and I dined at Cluny Bistro. Our server's name was Anthony I believe. Let's begin with the service. We had a group of 8 people and auto gratuity therefore applied. We learned of this at the end and it all made sense. Anthony was completely lethargic! He could care less whether we enjoyed our meal or whether or food arrived on time.
The Food. I personally got the Hanger steak medium. I have never had a more overcooked steak.... It was like chewing on a leather bag. Everyone else's steaks were either undercooked or overcooked. The $36 filet mignon was underwhelming..... The best part of that was the fries. Beware of the wine menu.... Many of these can be found at the lcbo at a third of the price. Then there was the dreadful mojito that two of my friends got. It definitely got the job done...however it tasted more like cough syrup.
Highlights of the night: the fries, the soap in the bathroom, the bread, and the ambiance. I must say a restaurant in this price range should meet a higher standard than the quality of its bathroom. I have visited this restaurant for winterlicious 2014 and I did enjoy the seasonal menu. Maybe tonight was a bad night, but I can't say there will be a third time.
