WARNING IF YOU WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY, ARE A FOODIE, AND LOVE TO EXPERIENCE NEW RESTAURANTS.. DO NOT COME HERE

I humbly regret suggesting this place for my younger sisters birthday. The service is poor and the lack of detail and attention to a patrons needs is unequivocally alarming.

Upon entering the establishment you are greeted by hostesses who do not anticipate how quickly they are walking you to your table leaving you in the dust ( very behind). 🚩Red Flag #1

Friends and family were already there which was probably the only pleasant sight in the place. Once I was seated the waiter came over, DID NOT INTRODUCE herself.. I asked the table if they knew her name or if she mentioned it to them prior they all said NO.Second red flag of the evening. The server did not ask if we have been there before and or make any recommendations of the menu. 🚩Red Flag #2

We ordered starters and drinks. Now this is where it gets cute.. I ordered my second drink and found a DISGUSTING FLY IN MY DRINK. 🚩Red Flag #3

That was it I was out.. before I found the insect in my beverage.. it was actually tasting decent and I would have recommended the bar for drinks. It appeared that the bar made fairly tasty drinks within a reasonable price point.

NEGATIVE I was wrong. The food was sub par a solid 2.5/5 for appetizers. I immediately cancelled my food order because I do not trust a restaurant who fails to QUALITY CHECK their items before providing them to their patrons… it screams carelessness.

One thing you can never play about is your health and that is directly correlated to what you consume.

The server apologized and told her manager … who also apologized and told me the drink only will be removed from the bill and asked if I wanted another one. Which I politely declined and as previously stated cancelled my dinner order.

The gag is when the rest of the table received their dinner orders the server then decide to bring out the customary tap water in glasses… when no one asked.

DO NOT COME HERE unless you enjoy lack luster food, poor service and sub par insect infested alcohol drinks.

If I could rate this review...

Use to come here often to watch a game At least 2 to 3 times a month during NBA season The service was always pleasant and the food was good. From time to time there would be hick ups with our order or the TV screen would change, but the people at the bar and male manager would always come through and make things right. That’s the reason we always come back During the playoffs this year, our expectations and service was horrible We made reservations and requested to be seated close to the bar. When we got there, they gave us the table close to the bar by the TV’s. As we sat down, the hostess came back and asked us if we can move because they had given our table to another group. We were given an option to decide whether to seat at the bar or take our given table. Out of nowhere, a veteran server ( not our server) decided to make comments under her breath that we are not allowed to pick and choose a table with out reservation. We initially kept quite and decided to take our reserved table. The veteran server continued to make comments towards us until I spoke up. Our server was polite and very accommodating. We proceed to order our food. We ordered the landing burger and when it came, it was way under cooked, almost raw. Called our server and she was very accommodating but the veteran server showed up and told us the burger was fine … it wasn’t fine to us and I finally told her to please leave us alone and just let our server do her job. Our server apologized and did bring us a new burger to our liking Then veteran server changed to channel on the TV were the game was being shown. We ask for the manger and now she is claiming she couldn’t put the game back on because the remote wasn’t working. It was only when another two other tables ask for the game to be put back on , the remote started working again Clearly the female manager was protecting the veteran server and couldn’t care less about our concerns Not sure if we would come back here again, let alone recommend this place to anyone We have been going to The Landing in Oakville. The food and service there is great and will...
