| - I like to give places a few chances, particularly when they're new to the game. After a number of visits, Louis Cifer still doesn't deserve my dollars.
Three main complaints: 1) Their house beers are below par for the course in Toronto (putting it nicely...). This is not a deal breaker, as they usually have a couple good local options (out of the 10 craft options or so) available, so the beer is still worth drinking (Karma Citra from Great Lakes, today). 2) Their food is poor value, and overall not that good. I'm always shocked by what i receive for the price... Brunch today consisted of farmer sausage that was closer to a hot dog than any farmer sausage I've ever had and a secret 'hangover' sauce that was tomato sauce... 3) Service has always been very poor, from a publicly overbearing front of house manager to perpetually training new staff (connected?), to long waits for refills, to... Every time is something new.
Combined with a overbearing, heavy handed corporate branding vibe, a restaurant that's always 60% empty, and better options in the vicinity to watch a game, catch a beer, or eat food... I'm done.
