Never been to this restaurant. Never even been to Ontario. Yet somehow, this place charged almost $5000 to a credit card belonging to someone in Edmonton, Alberta.
Called to get answers and was met with the most unhelpful, dismissive staff imaginable. Whoever I spoke to, possibly the manager or owner, was defensive, rude, and immediately full of excuses. Claimed it wasn't their charge, even though the bank statement clearly names this restaurant.
She said she needed to "check the back end" because hundreds of people go there daily. Give me a break. You're telling me you wouldn't remember a single five thousand dollar charge in a sea of regular transactions? It's not like this place is a fine dining institution pulling those numbers every hour.
What's worse is that a charge that size must have went through without any ID or proper checks. Just staff punching in numbers like it's a guessing game. Thatâs not just careless, itâs straight up dangerous.Thatâs not just bad practice. itâs dangerous and potentially criminal.
To anyone in Burlington Ontario, and honestly anywhere in Canada, watch your accounts closely.
Edit in response:
This review is far from false.
The credit card that was charged belongs to someone who lives in Alberta and has never been to Ontario, let alone your establishment. That is a fact.
When we called to get answers, we were met with immediate hostility and denial from your staff. At no point did anyone offer help, accountability, or even basic professionalism.
Let me be clear. The person whose card was charged has never stepped foot in your province. The name on the card would not have matched any ID presented, assuming one was even shown. The transaction was substantial and unauthorized. We have the bank records to prove it.
Calling this defamation is a wild deflection. Defamation requires a false statement. What I stated is not only true but supported by documented evidence. My review reflects exactly what happened: a fraudulent charge followed by a hostile and dismissive response from your team when we tried to resolve it.
The initial phone call was a courtesy. It was made in good faith to find an easier and more direct resolution without involving the Ontario Liquor and Gaming Commission. As I'm sure the rules are very similar ACLC.
The mention of identity theft was not an accusation targeted solely at your business. It was a warning to others that something clearly went wrong with a transaction processed by your establishment.
We are currently working with the bank's fraud and recovery team to have the funds reversed and fully intend to see this resolved. As any common courtesy or accountability from this place is clearly...
   Read moreOn a cold, crisp Christmas Eve, the city was alive with twinkling lights, but for me and my friend Liam, the holiday spirit was proving to be elusive. We had one mission: find an open bar to cap off a long day of festive anticipation. Little did we know, our quest for Christmas cheer would become an adventure of its own.
The night began with optimism. Christmas Eveâa time when bars are filled with warmth, laughter, and holiday cheer. Or so we thought. As we wandered through the deserted streets, the realization slowly set in: most places had closed their doors early for the holiday. A handful of places had shut down entirely, and the ones that remained open were either packed to the brim or closed without a word of warning.
What followed was a merry mix of frustration and comical missteps. Each bar we triedâeach flickering neon sign we approachedâproved to be a dead end. Liam, ever the optimist, would insist that the next bar had to be open, his eyes lighting up at every glimmer of hope. But with each failed attempt, our spirits wavered, and our jokes about becoming "the only two guys out on Christmas Eve" grew more self-aware, bordering on absurd.
By the time we found our destinationâa cozy, dimly lit bar tucked away in a quiet corner of the cityâit felt like we'd earned the right to sit down. The interior was a small oasis of warmth and laughter, almost as though the place had been waiting for us to arrive. The bartender, friendly and surprisingly unbothered by our late arrival, greeted us with a knowing smile. Perhaps she understood the frustration of a holiday hunt, or maybe it was just the last few drops of Christmas magic in the air.
As we settled into our seats, our earlier frustrations melted away. The bar, though simple, was everything we needed: a space to share stories, relax, and sip drinks with good company. The joy was no longer in the destination, but in the journey and the companionship that had seen us through it.
This Christmas Eve adventure wasnât about the perfect bar or the right cocktailâit was about the shared experience, the laughter that had punctuated our struggle, and the realization that sometimes the best moments come from the most unexpected of places. It was a night of persistence, humor, and friendship, proving that even when the world feels closed off, the right moment can find you, if you're willing to...
