Bluffers Restaurant & Event Centre — Restaurant in Toronto

BIGGEST LET DOWN OF MY LIFE.. while booking this event space for my wedding I had a few criteria the owners Peter and Dina listened went over things and even gave me their best advice on how my wedding day should unfold “because they do this all the time” I told everyone about them I was so happy. Little did I know that they would both be my only source of frustration on my wedding day.

Everything that I paid for everything we agreed on was all washed under the rug. They absolutely didn’t care about my wedding. The main concern for them was the tables in their other restaurant not the 120 people at my wedding. Which they said would only be a table of 4 but obviously their greed to make more money took over. I don’t care how many tables they took on the other side as long as they cater to my wedding as well. I was taken advantage of on the worst day possible and these people knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

We agreed that my caterer would have their staff help in the kitchen as they were from out of town and they would have an allocated space in kitchen to work out of. As well as their staff assist in buffet lines, clearing tables etc. That was not the case my caterer did everything on their own and my buffet lines were absolutely a disaster leaving half the guests without apps because they decided not to have staff serve food in the buffet line like we agreed to.

I paid for two 1.5L bottles of wine on each table.. I had to tell Dina an two hrs into my wedding that my sister in law just waited 15 minutes in line at the bar for a glass of wine that was supposed to be on the table from the start. After rolling her eyes she ushered a couple staff in my side of the space to put out the hot white wine and dusty red bottles .. and before the wedding was even over they had their staff collect all the bottles still full off the tables so they can use for their next event no doubt even though I should be getting them.

Come to find out after the wedding that my guests weren’t even given water?! What the hell is wrong with you people??? I paid for 2 glass bottles of Evian on each table why were they never placed there? Looking at my wedding photos you see the tables empty only my centrepieces which I kept small because of all these drinks that were supposed to be on the table.

I’m absolutely disgusted at the way my wedding was handled. My biggest problem was trusting these two not to scam me on the most important party I would have. My guests had no parking even if they came an hour early. My guests were constantly yelled at by the owners for waiting in line at their stupid set up of a bar. My wedding was Mother’s Day weekend I’ve been so embarrassed losing sleep at how this all unfolded since may 13th. We are not some spoiled kids that were given everything we saved up our money to pay for this wedding. I hope that when your kids get married no one treats them the same way you did to us.

Nevermind their staff other than a few solid hard workers the rest were rude sloppy drunk messes and throughout my wedding was one of their kids constantly running through in my photos and everything standing in front of me while I gave my speech and literally photographed by my photographer. Drunk hot mess of a chef bothering me while I tried to set up my wedding the night before. Incompetent staff telling me to cut and serve my own cake!

Then the big SURPRISE of telling me I have to tear down my own wedding immediately after guests leave!! Which I was told I can do the following day. So imagine cleaning and organizing things after your wedding day is over in your wedding dress and heels at 1:00am. Other than using the space itself and a open bar I have no idea what I paid these people for. I never argued any prices and paid exactly what we agreed on. I did my part but this place absolutely didn’t do their part. The thing that hurts the most is that I know these people could have done better. Now that the event is over and most of the trauma has subsided do what you will with this...

My recent visit to Bluffers Restaurant & Event Centre left me incredibly disappointed. As a customer seeking a memorable dining experience, I had high hopes for this establishment. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation fell far short of my expectations.

From the moment I entered the restaurant, it was clear that the staff's attitude towards me and other patrons was indifferent at best. Despite having made a reservation, we were met with a lack of professionalism and an overall sense of inconvenience. This initial encounter set a negative tone for the rest of the evening.

The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was subpar. Sticky tables and a general lack of attention to detail made for an uncomfortable dining environment. It was disheartening to witness the restaurant's neglect, which reflected poorly on the management's ability to maintain basic standards.

The service provided was equally disappointing. Our server seemed disinterested and lacked the enthusiasm one would expect in the hospitality industry. Their lack of attentiveness and reluctance to offer recommendations or answer questions about the menu further compounded our dissatisfaction. It was evident that the staff did not value our presence as customers.

When the food finally arrived, it failed to redeem the overall experience. The dishes lacked the promised flavors and were poorly executed. Sloppy presentation and the use of subpar ingredients were evident, indicating a lack of culinary skill and passion in the kitchen.

However, what truly struck a chord was witnessing how the restaurant treated its former employees. The disregard and mistreatment of individuals who had previously worked at Bluffers was disheartening to observe. It is troubling to support an establishment that demonstrates such unethical behavior towards its staff.

In conclusion, my experience at Bluffers Restaurant & Event Centre left me deeply disappointed. The lackluster service, subpar food quality, and mistreatment of former employees all contributed to this regrettable visit. I believe it is essential for potential diners to be aware of the shortcomings of this establishment. Therefore, I would not recommend dining at Bluffers if you are seeking a pleasant and...

Responsibilities vs Rights (A learning from the Nature) :

We come to this world with some born responsibilities; our rights in most cases, develop gradually later. A child is born by the grace of the creator from the mother’s womb in an unknown environment for that child, and achieves the identity only after birth in response to the facilities available around.

This uncertain world allows a child to adapt with the surroundings eventually. During the growing up tenure a child is considered to be elevated under the protection and/or left abandoned sometimes which is beyond that child’s control.

Among all the facilities while grown up should count as rewards and bonus, not as the birth rights alone. The person behind the existing complexed global/social bindings sometimes become sandwiched. The surrounding familial, social, academic, financial, geographical, political, global and religious laws and bindings make a mesh around a child’s freedom to roam around.

There is a quote, said by Jean-Jacques Rousseau: “Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains”! That explains, human beings are good by nature but are rendered corrupt by the society. He is as pure and innocent as a reward of the Creator, but than he is a social being son or a daughter of someone with host of relatives and indebted to his parents and society at large for being given an identity. But a man is found in chains is a fact which is difficult to challenge. Rousseau asserts that modern states repress the physical freedom that is our birthright, and do nothing to secure the civil freedom for the sake of which we enter into civil society. A complexed situation indeed.

People should teach their descendants the responsibilities & the rights, not only the human rights. Whether recklessly driving over the speed limit on the highways is ‘a responsibility’ of any driver to learn first instead...
