| - For food vs other ikeas.
The restaurants layout isnt as superior. Stop, rewind.....
To get here and parking are the least of my favorites of the 4 IKEAs in the GTA.... it's probably the worst for everything of the Ikeas restaurants and smalland for sure it is.
They keep the sweetener by the cash registers, awkward.....
Sorry, so after you're done road raging and IKEA mazing to get to the restaurant you're "greeted" by disgruntled employees*, who just want to serve you and get you on your way, but because they're rushing it slows everything down.
Less soups are available.
The cashiers try to figure everything out on their own, even though you told them what you ordered, and then you have to tell them again what they "think" and what you told them aren't the same....
And after they've figured out to punch in what you told them, you're told to go to the register next door because her till is credit/debit only.... whatever I'm not explaining my plates again, here take my visa.
Go and grab my condiments at the station... only to go back to the registers to grab my sweetener and cutlery.
Off I go to find a seat... I swear it "looks" smaller per sqft and more cramped vs the other ikeas?? But the layout and lighting IS worse and maybe that's what gives the illusion that it's smaller, more cramped and poorly designed.
This restaurant is the epitome of their assembly instructions and the guys who setup the restaurant looked at the manuals and did it all wrong.
And a staffer started questioning a guest about him taking water... lol
IKEA isn't fine dining but you'll never feed 10 people for under $30 in any restaurant, meals, sides, drinks and ice cream all in...
But this IKEA restaurant just doesn't meet my IKEA standards, and yes those standards include you dousing the food in ketchup, hot sauce, salt and pepper....
The maze/store itself and the staff are ok, and they seem to have a better handle on cashing people out... but I'll go to north York, vaughan instead for the food and smalland.
If you need IKEA furniture this place is okay....
If you want a cheap meal go to the other ones instead...
But the staff was amazing with the code 99.. qualms are with the dining establishment of this location...
