Be Sure to Check Your Bill Before Paying
Occasionally if I can't get a table quickly at the excellent Rosewood Chinese Cuisine on Dundas Street for DIM SUM I will go across the street to Forestview. The food is not bad -fresh, steaming hot and restaurant is loud with chatter which is to be expected of a DIM SUM restaurant. Trying to get the attention of servers can be an issue. Rosewood, on the other hand, has a smaller staff yet I can always get a server to help me out. The prices are comparable at both Forestview and Rosewood though I say that with some reservation. Let me explain. My experience at Forestview when paying is to know which waiter to avoid. During the weekdays the prices are (supposed) to be Happy Hour rates. One waiter (older gentlemen with glasses) always marks up the prices during my visits. For instance I ordered 9 DIM SUM items and after he wrote up my bill I asked "what happened to the Happy Hour pricing?" He scribbled on the bill again and this time it was 1/3 off the total. He has done something similar twice before in the past -I didn't check my bill until afterwards. There are some decent waiters at Forestview. A younger, thin, waiter (with glasses) is very helpful. When I ask for something he always remembers -works harder than other staff IMHO. I can always trust him to correctly write up my bill.
