"Dunno how the planets were aligned, but I figure this is what happens when the kitchen staff and / or management show up for work high (on some very unproductive drugs). \n\nInexplicably slow service on an empty-ish night. Food poorly prepared and almost inedible--like no one went shopping that day and had to scrounge for left-overs...we suspect the wait staff were the only ones trying to hold the shizz down. We just moved to Leslieville and it was our first time checking out the restos :(\n\nSo, it was dinnertime...\n\nLots of empty seating, but we were told to come back in 15 (?). So, we, uh, just sat down at an empty table and waited for 20 minutes to get a drink order in.\n\nThen we took time to choose from the menus given to us, but upon ordering were told they were lunch menus, so we had to rethink everything with new dinner ones.\n\nFood was super slow, so we got free fries to carb up for an extra 20 minute wait (point!)\n\nLamb was the fattiest most disgusting, inedible cut ever. We sent it back and they were like, \"Yeah, thought so\". WTF--at $19 or so, 'twas a bit of a harsh gamble on patrons!\n\nFish tacos were too DIY to be anything special. Defrosted torillas, dried fishsticks--reminded me of daycare lunch.\n\nSteak was grisly. Had to kind of suck on it to taste it.\n\nGlass of water smelt positively septic--Swimming Prohibited septic.\n\nThen there were the flies that kept coming in, falling all over our food and clothes (it was the first warm night in Toronto of the year). Not anyone's fault, but just added to the misery. Just sayin.\n\nOur wait staff knew what kind of ordeal we had been through and at least made up for it with an ice cream / dessert platter.\n\nWhoever is managing and short staffing this place is losing people fast. The servers need to find another job. But sounds like this problem has persisted for a long time."^^ . . . "2013-05-08T00:00:00"^^ . . "1"^^ . "3"^^ .
