| - Service is friendly. The hostess had a nice smile and was very welcoming. Even though the place was dead we decided to try grabbing a drink here. Milestones is my default pre-movie spot for drinks and occasionally food, but I thought I'd expand my horizons, so I tried Woo.
I generally don't like Chinese restaurants because of the poor quality of food, but as this place appears to be more modern and fusion-like, I thought I'd try it for drinks. The idea of "stuff your face with crap for $30" isn't my type of dining experience, so I definitely wasn't about to eat here.
They really like Malibu, and it's in almost every cocktail. The cocktail I ordered--the Woo favourite, with Appleton rum--was pretty good, but not that great for the price. I'm used to paying similar (or sometimes less) for something way better at Milestones, and when it's in the same building I can't help but feel ripped off.
Let me also say that they gave my friend and I wet coasters. Wet, used coasters. How lovely is that?! He gave them to us with his hands too, which means that he would've been able to tell they were sopping wet. Really now? Not that I'm the queen of etiquette, but isn't that a big no no?
The washrooms were a bit messy, and it was hard to choose which toilet to use. I had to go with the one that looked the least bad. Upon entering the bathroom, I looked to the right and there was a white surface covered in water. At first glance, it looked like a baby changing station where a baby peed all over the place and the mother didn't clean it up. After a second look I realized it was the sink. Err... A for effort? Not my style, but ok.
I am SO glad I didn't order food here. I would definitely not return. I hope this place closes soon and something better shows up. It's nice to have another option other than Milestones in that complex. After all, people, this is downtown Toronto: the centre of the centre of the universe! I can't believe this place is here!
