Buster's Sea Cove - (Commerce Court) — Restaurant in Toronto

I just had the most bleeped up experience here. Came around 2pm so it's not busy at all. I wanted fried calamari, no fries, substitute salad instead. Pretty simple request, right? I ask the cashier if they could do that. She says, yes, and to clarify I said, 'fried calamari with salad' and she repeats back to me, "shrimp Po boy on a bun" and makes a little bun signal with her hands. Mind you, we are both not ESL, so this is not a language barrier thing. I again repeat to her my order. She says the PO boy comes on a bun. So for the 3rd time I tell her what I want and then she bun signals me again. So I had to say, "look, at no point did I say 'shrimp' or even 'bun'. 2 more times this happens. And I just couldn't believe it. I was straight mad at this point. Another person took over and I apologized for looking so agitated. I explained to the new person what just happened and she said it was the system, blah, blah. I said , "no, it's NOT the system and it's not a language barrier thing either". She was very apologetic, all the while the first girl is giving ME side eye. She didn't look stoned, but she might as...

So . . .today I checked in at Buster's Sea Cove, and I was honestly surprised to see that this joint has received a mere 3.5 stars rating. The ever-forming line up in front of this place makes me think that I am probably not wrong to think that either!

I got to know Buster's Sea Cove in St. Lawrence market many moons ago, and was super excited to find out that they have opened a location closer to work in the financial district. The experience is mostly the same as the staple location in St. Lawrence: long line ups, fresh fish grilled in front of your eyes, a chef that is constantly yelling, tasty hot sauce and reasonable prices.

Personally, I am a big fan of the rainbow trout sandwich (in the picture) which makes for a great lunch for a little more than $12. Sandwiches are served with coleslaw, and portions are reasonable - though not massive.

The price is definitely not cheap compared to other food court options, but at least you get to eat real food . . .I would recommend for anyone in the financial district who is tired of eating "half baked", bland...

Friendly staff and good attention to my shrimp allergy. Ordered a lobster roll and Greek village salad and mac n cheese. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the lobster is overcooked and/or from-frozen. That's why a different reviewer thought it was crab. The meat is dry and lacks flavour.

I wasn't expecting a lot from this inland food court. They could greatly improve the lobster roll by adding butter -- lots of it -- to the bread AND lobster. The macaroni and cheese could be improved greatly as well, because the top crust is tough to cut and the entire thing could benefit from being more ooey-gooey. They add a lot of sides and pickles so at least you don't leave hungry.

$25 including tax for the above trio is not terrible but also means I...
