Ever since I moved 2 years ago, I've been completely and utterly out of touch with downtown Toronto; the renovated restaurant that is now 5 stars and not 3, the new trendy lounge to be seen at, or the once less-than-desirable neighbourhood to be around that is now hoppin'. However, good service and good food is a must for me wherever I happen to end up. Sadly, that was not the case at Levack Block.
Meeting college girlfriends for a night of drinks, food, and catch-up tales, I was less than impressed with their classic burger and even more so when our bartender/hostess/server asked us to move tables so a larger party could take over. Yes people, there was only one person manning the entire floor the whole night; thus, not only were we asked to move, the service alone was just awful. Empty water glasses, lukewarm food - even the side salad was somehow warm and most likely wilting before my eyes, and my very bland vodka-tonic was beyond disappointing.
It looks like I still haven't found the hip "place to be" in Toronto but at least, at the very least, you know where you won't be finding me again.
