Factory Girl — Restaurant in Toronto

HORRIBLE I never write reviews, I don't complain, but my experience was so terrible I have to this time. I'm an MD and after working a 12 hour shift under lights, I was a bit disappointed to be seated under a bright light in the corner of the back room (while there were still tables available up front, and the back room was empty). When requested to be seated at one of the many other empty tables in the back (any other), the staff was hesitant, but agreed. After our appetizers showed up we were told (not asked) that we needed to be re-seated. At this point the entire back room was still empty!?? I expressed to the waitress I just didn't want to sit under the bright light in the corner, and being that the whole room was empty, could we just stay where we were. The waitress looked almost fearful, and went to speak with the owner again. Without saying anything to us, or apologizing, the owner came over and took the light out of the lamp, and looked angry while doing so. He never acknowledged me, and made me feel unwanted. They then told us to move. Instead, I suggested I would pay for what I had ate, and would just head out. At this point I heard the owner slam something and yell "this is bullshit" at his staff. I paid my bill, no staff members apologized, and not once did the owner come to talk to me. The food is not that good that you have to put up with an owner who doesn't appreciate business on a busy strip like the Danforth. I wont be back, and...

This one star review is only for the breakfast I just had this morning. Normally I'd give Factory Girl 5 stars as their lunch and dinners I've had have been fantastic. Unfortunately, the breakfast wasn't anywhere close to the quality.

First off the price. Normally at any restaurant, I get eggs with sausage and a side of bacon. And no eggs. Any restaurant I've been to includes a choice of meats with the meal. NOT Factory Girl. Meats were separate. I know the menu online says different, but the menu I got was NOT the same. Meat was charged separately. The meal was meh. Bacon was cold, and it was replaced with a hot portion. However, it was still chewy, almost as if it was leftovers reheated. I got one sausage. The potatoes were OK as was the toast. Coffee was also extra. The bill came and I was charged for everything, which really isn't an issue. However, pretty much any other restaurant I've been to where I don't have the eggs, either give me a break on the bill, or throw in extra portions of meat, fruit, something. This morning, nothing. Total cost without tip was about $23 which was way over priced considering the quality, I had no eggs, and the price of other breakfasts on the Danforth. I did mention all of this to the waitress who was great and said she'd pass on the info. Overall, I probably won't eat breakfast at Factory Girl again, but will continue their Lunch and...

I have been here before and had great service. I was disappointed the other night when I went there. My husband and I wanted to have a couple of drinks and something to eat before we went to a show. We arrived and sat at the only clean table we could see. It was part of a group of six tables. The waitress came up and asked us if we could move to the double table beside us (which wasn't clean) and that she would come and clean it up for us (She wasn't particularly friendly). We had no probIem moving to a double clean table. I went downstairs to the washroom and when I came back up, my husband still had not been asked what we wanted to drink (my husband had not yet moved to the cleaned double table mind you), perhaps he was waiting for me. He did however mention that he could see five staff members not busy (who could have taken our drink orders). Overall, we waited far too long to be acknowledged let alone ask what we wanted to drink. We felt agitated and uncomfortable so we just left. It was not a good experience. I'll give it two stars because the past two times I've been there, it's been great. I'm not sure I'll return after...
