Romi's — Restaurant in Toronto

The food was excellent but one of the staff treated us like second class citizens. I am not sure if it is because of the skin colour of the people I was with or the fact that they were (well behaved) children. Either way, the optics don't look good.

I went to this restaurant on Friday, which was a PD day for most schools. I was there with 4 mixed race children (two half Vietnamese, two black) and a baby. It was lunch time. A mother and son were sitting at a table by the window. Otherwise, the restaurant was completely empty. The staff member (possibly the owner) suggested we sit at a table in the very back corner of the restaurant. I thought it was strange considering the restaurant was empty. I said I wanted to sit closer to the window. The children sat at the table by the window, much to her chagrin. I thought they would want us at the window so people would see they had clients and want to come in. The children asked to move because that table got too hot. Again, the staff member said, " I had this table for you," and tried to lead me to the back corner. I said, "We want to sit at this table, closer to the window. It is dark in the back," which was close to the window but not in the sun. She did say, "The children are closer to you now," but at no point did she make us feel welcome. Two more couples came in, sat at the window table and later moved seats because it was too hot. Nobody else was asked to sit at the very back table or anywhere close to the back. Admittedly, the tables we were at could not fit all of us, but I was right beside the children and they could have easily moved the table for 4 to attach it to my table for two. There were also closer options than the very back table that would have fit all of us. At one point, I asked my waitress if that lady was trying to hide us because it sure felt like she was. I thought it was because they were children,but someone else suggested to me that it was likely because two of them were black children. Had I realized that, I would have left instead of giving them my business. In all fairness, my waitress was very kind, but nobody thanked us or offered to help me open the door to get the baby stroller out. I felt like the owner (or whoever she was), was relieved when we left. Judging from the reviews of how great this place is with children, I fear that being asked to move to the very back was unrelated to their age, but was sadly related...

We held my son’s baptism here on the weekend and working with Sab throughout the entire planning process was a dream. He always made himself available to take my calls and to answer all my questions, and always offered great suggestions for the lunch. The food was amazing and the entire lunch went smoothly. The calamari were cooked perfectly and come with two tasty sauces, the penne a la vodka was delicious and the veal parm, chicken limone and salmon were all excellent. We had so many compliments about the food and wonderful service. Never once did Sab try to upsell us and even suggested we slim down our menu. He is genuine and amazing to deal with and you can tell he truly enjoys what he does. I can’t recommend this place enough, for events or even just for dinner. We are fairly new to the area but will be going to Romi’s from now on whenever we want authentic...

I placed an order through uber eats. O ordered food with my office staff: one chicken sandwich, 12 chicken wings and cheesy garlic bread After 50 minutes, received a message from uber eats , my order was canceled. My coworker called the restaurant and asked why our order was canceled and was told, restaurant ran out of chicken wings and order was canceled. I also called the restaurant and asked why the order was cancelled and i was also told that they ran out of wings. I said it was only 4pm on a Monday and you just opened, how could you have run out of chicken wings and the fellow on the phone said in a very rude and condescending tone , "we are out of chicken wings" and hung up

We are...
