$40 Groupon + Hunger = a magnificent meal at Frida right? Well not so much. I called the restaurant that same night to make a reservation. The woman on the phone seemed nice and everything was set for 7:30pm. I was coming straight from school and meeting up with a friend at Spadina station. We hit some TTC delayed going up to North York and arrived at the restaurant about 20 minutes late.
We walked in and the place was relatively dead, one table of 8 and another couple next to us. We received a rather weird and cold greeting when we walked in. I was asked if I had a reservation and I awkwardly explained yes but we were late due to transit. I can only assume Jonathan K. and I encountered the same odd hostess. From the moment we stepped foot in the door she gave us a really uneasy and cold vibe; I almost seemed like she expected us to rob the restaurant at any moment!
We were seated and took a look at the menu... ladies and gentlemen this place isn't cheap. We both ordered a $15 burrito appetizers and a half bottle of wine to share with the grand total coming to more than $60.
The food was good but our service was so odd and everything was so expensive that I probably wouldn't go back again.
