| - O.K. food, terrible service.
Dh and I went tonight, thought we'd eat on The Danforth for a change...tons of restaurants to choose from, stumbled upon Pappa's Grill, as Dh had heard it was good.
First off, our server seated us (not the hostess....who knows where she went), oh and the restaurant was only a quarter full, if that. He then said he would bring us some water to start us off. Well, the water never came. He finally suantered over to take our drink order and food order.
The wine took some time to find our table, again he brought no water. The appetizer...spicey feta dip w/pita wedges took even longer...I mean how long can it possible take to plate this and serve it.
Still no water. I remind him as he passes us with a cloth to wipe tables on the patio....he nods, then goes out to wipe tables!!!
Later he comes back in and stands over near the bar peering out over the restaurant, again forgetting about the water. He sees me staring over at him trying to get his attention....finally he get our water!!!!
It seems like we waited forever for our main courses....me: Chicken Fusilli, Dh: Pork Souvlaki dinner...pretty standard stuff....imagine if the restaurant was actually busy...scary to think how much worse the service would have been.
The food was ok...not horrible, not great. My pasta came with parmesan cheese already on it (not freshly grated). I was never asked if I wanted cheese....he(the server or maybe the cook) just put it on. Was not impressed with that.
Server came by once to see if everything was ok, never asked if we wanted more wine.
When he finally brought the check, he never said 'thank you' or 'have a nice evening'.....NOTHING! Just put it on the table and walked away.
Needless to say, he recieved a $3 tip (could not be bothered to ask for the change from $60...the meal was $57).
Will NOT go back!!! SO MANY other restaurants to choose from, why settle for sub par service and so-so food. NO thanks!!
