Just spent a rather lengthy 2 hours of brunch on the FARMHOUSE tavern patio (1 course only!) most of it being ignored by our unapologetically inept server. Sad to discover that this is just another example of a Toronto restaurant with a hipster scene focus executed in an unprofessional and inexperienced environment. A place with service this crappy would never survive in a high rent downtown zone. No offer of explanation for the chalkboard menu items- even such vaguely named dishes as "Mother and Child Reunion" are left to our interpretation. An unidentified Pinot Grigio "It's a really good one" arrives. Service disintegrates from there on in. No water, no specials, no checking in, no smile, just attitude....At several points I wonder if our server's shift has ended as she is never on the patio. Sooo......the food. They are well known for their burger, I won't bother to re-describe it, and it's great. It's really messy though, with goat cheese and egg yolk pouring everywhere, and no you will not be able to get another napkin no matter how desperate the situation. Fries look great, but when you bite in are weirdly dry and flavourless. The ploughman's platter is dull and uninspired, including 3 different colours of cauliflower with an unfortunate number off tiny black bugs residing within. The pancakes were crap. Dry and mealy with lots of flecks of flax meal - no syrup and lots of smoky fruit. When we were finished our dirty plates sat for a good 30 minutes in front of us with no offer of anyone coming to clear them. There were wasps all over them, which was the most entertaining part of an otherwise depressing and disappointing meal. The real sting came when the bill arrived and we realized why our server couldn't have cared less about serving us - a mandatory 18% gratuity was added to the bill for our party of six. Yes, six. Unbelievable.
