Quinte Restaurant — Restaurant in Ontario

Wrote a review of the Quinte Restaurant:

We entered the restaurant to cheerful waitresses welcoming us in, the same as the Sirens calling Odysseus to his doom. We were quickly seated and the waitress scurried off to important waitress business, probably involving the dark web. The neighbouring table was discussing the slow service, so we started a timer to quantify the other table’s concerns. At 9 minutes and 32 seconds, the waitress brought two small water rations and scurried off. Wish we had known the kitchen had a drought and no more water was available. At 15:44 the waitress delivered my wife’s Caesar salad, which would appeal to 9 out of 10 bunnies. A few minutes later I got my lukewarm soup that was hastily prepared with watered-down stewed tomatoes to impersonate soup, then overcooked macaroni, and at its peak mushy blandness was added. Any prison would be proud to serve it. At 24:56 my veal parmigian was delivered, but not my wife's meal, which was brought 4:26 later. My meal was cold. The chilly veal was tasty about 10 minutes before it was served. The overcooked spaghetti was hiding in shame under a scoop of cold stewed tomatoes. The sauce looked like a poorly fitted toupee on a bald head. Zero for presentation. My wife could not eat her cold, overcooked spaghetti with the same brab-stewed tomatoes posing as a sauce on top. My wife was told they were out of garlic bread. They expected to eat the meal with no bread to act as a foil to the overcooked, tasteless spaghetti. I guess they were afraid it would add flavour. Again, zero for presentation. There are front-line war zones that are dining better. This meal reminded me of when Mom was away and Dad cooked with all the interest of a prison guard. The waitress never came to the table to offer more water or ask how the meal was. She was probably busy putting the meals in the fridge...

Imagine kitchen nightmares ...then imagine something more disgusting. This restaurant...if you can call it that is nothing more than a side project for an arrogant business owner with ZERO experience in the hospitality industry. Imagine the worst home cook with an incredible ego....then they buy a restaurant...welcome to the Quinte Restaurant. Tired of clueless people destroying the food industry with thier arrogance. For the prices today, people deserve FRESH food, not the frozen junk you pick up at no frills on sale. Staff deserve much better as well. Had to leave a review as I care about cooking and safety should be an issue for all food service businesses and I feel the food served here is not cooked or stored properly and people should know paying such outrageous prices. There's inappropriate and there's FACTS. SORRY you can't handle the truth and feel the need to pretend your business shouldn't be closed down . Edit: unhappy?. No, disgusted that there were ZERO standards and you were ok serving expired and sub par food. And how many cooks you went through this past year?! THAT SHOULD BE A WAKE UP CALL , that is for anyone...

This is not a fancy restaurant. It is a comfortable place with good service that services good sized portions of good and generally familiar food. Tonight my wife had a hankering for a home cooked style meal made by somebody else so we stopped off. She had the meatloaf, quite a large portion. I had something called Chicken Suisse which was chicken breast covered in ham and sauce with cheese. It was very, very good. I don't like hot or spicy food. Our meals were not. They came with large garden salads. We asked for Thousand Island dressing which is often not often in restaurants but they had it. Very tart lemon meringue pie for dessert. Actual soft drinks in cans instead of watery stuff out of a soda fountain. Service was friendly and quick but not obtrusive. Place, including washrooms, was very clean and tidy. Not the first time we have eaten here and unlikely to be the last. Previous meals have included turkey dinners and hot sandwiches. One thing we like is that you can order turkey meals with just white meat which is...
