Vowed to never go to an East Side's ever again and I should have stuck with it. Do I even really need to review this restaurant? The rest of the reviews speak for themselves.
I pretty much only consider this place when I'm absolutely starved, because even if the food isn't great at least you can fill up on free salad and bread. NOT THIS TIME.
We ordered two pasta entrees that are supposed to be accompanied with all-you-can-eat bread and salad. We got thee tiniest bowl of salad and no bread. Ever. I asked the waitress (Jackie) 3 times for our bread. If they simply were out of bread at the moment that would have been fine, but say that, don't leave me in this breadless-wonderment when I see plenty of other waitresses coming out with bread... why are you LYING TO ME?
Our pastas arrived by two large, saggy pant, rap battle looking guys, who the hell are you? And hey-bada-boom-bada-bing, HAIR. Nestled deep in my friends fettuccine. The worst part was he had to eat most of the surrounding dish before he found the surprise inside... like a Kinder Egg. I had a clear view of the kitchen from where I was sitting and I see no cooks in there with long, dark hair. Who planted that? Jackie?
This place is UNDER STAFFED. Half the restaurant is empty but expect to wait for 30 minutes. Typical chain restaurant, no authenticity, small portion sizes, everything tastes flash fried or microwaved. You know the drill.
This is Déjà vu? I posted a review for the East Side's on Dundas in Mississauga when I went for OPENING NIGHT and also found a hair in my pasta. What is with this place and lack of hygiene? They have the nerve to leave a "Tell Us How We Did Today :D" survey. Oh, I will.
This time I will NOT be coming back again. NOT NOT NOT.
