| - This is my second time visiting Linda's, and will be my last. I arrived on time, however my friend ran late. I went in to be seated, but did not see anyone at the from maitre d' desk, so i walked into the restaurant. A man, whom I'm guessing was the manager quickly walked me back to the front desk and asked if I had a reservation. I did, but i found this rude since the restaurant was not busy at all. Once he confirmed that I had a reservation he proceeded to show me to my seat; i commented that my friend was running late, but then he asked if my friend was female- I found this to be a very weird question!
As soon as she arrived, the waitress tried to take our order, which my friend did not even have a chance to look at the menu yet.
While dining, the waitress would converse with other diners, however she never checked in on our table once, other than to whisk away plates the moment our food was done- we felt rushed the whole time and the place wasn't even busy! The waitress took away our dessert plates and promptly brought our bill, which we found rude since we wanted to talk for a few minutes. We did not leave the typical 15% tip since it wasn't earned- we found that we felt rushed, the server was not attentive,and the deep fried banana batter was undercooked. The waitress had the nerve to come back to the table and point out that it was low tip and wasn't the right percentage. We commented that we knew, but she stood there with a confused look on her face and her hand out with the change. I was going to give her the extra money since it was very awkward and uncomfortable situation, however my friend was quite upset that this server was asking for more money when she did not deserve a tip- she was lucky to get anything at this point. The server stood there clueless and kept pointing out that it wasn't a typical tip, to the point where my friend became upset, left the money on the table and stormed out- i couldn't help but laugh at this point... i feel awful now. But the server grabbed the money from the table and took off to her manager!! The manager did not make an effort what-so-ever to try to mitigate the issue or try to find out what was wrong with the service.
The next crappy part was that my coat was in coat check, so I had to approach another server to retrieve it. The server that retrieved my coat was fantastic! She was kind and probably the best part to this experience! The original server looked confused and was still talking to the manager, she didn't seem to care that she left me with no coat to begin with.
The winterlicious portions were tiny, like the appetizer said chicken skewers but 1 chicken skewer was on the plate...
The food is mediocre and there are better options in the area. If you're willing to trek downtown, by all means try Khao San Road, some of the best thai food in Toronto. I work in the area and have many friends that know their way around a plate or two, we will not be returning here.
