The Bloor (Etobicoke) location- WORST SERVICE !!! if I could I would give them a Zero. This is in absolute contrast to their Mississauga location.
For the record, I attempted to reach the owner of the establishment privately via email 2 weeks ago, and to this date no response.
The issue was a server. We had a group of 8 people who just stopped in for a drink.
The server was so rude and aggressive (both active and passive) we contemplated leaving initially but thought it might be a one off interaction, but the attitude continued well past our orders. In short had I known I would have just left.
This was around 3 pm on a Sunday mind you and the place was hsrdly busy. He was the only server I saw there.
He wanted to seat us at this large table near him, but we requested to sit at a U shaped table so we can see eachother better. From there his attitude changed.
We asked if everything is OK, he just shrugged but he was so sour about our request that he just turned and walked away without saying a word.
Having been a server once-upon-a-time I can understand that he may be concerned if there would be a large food order. (But we just had lunch, and only wanted drinks!) He didn't know that at the time because he just walked off while I had the intent to tell him.
Anyway, after we sat at the requested table, he tried to persuade us to move back by saying there isn't enough room for everyone and then added "you know who likes to sit here?! CHILDREN!"
Firstly, what are children doing at a pub , is beyond me, and secondly, we couldn't just leave because a couple of our friends either stepped out or went to the washroom, so we couldn't just collectively leave
Again I asked he was okay, he again shrugged and walked away (I guess to get the note pad)
That attitude continued, finally we he returned I had handed him back the food menu, and told him we were only here for drinks.
And then he's like oh, well as if it's just drinks then that's fine. And I said THAT'S what we were trying to convey from the onset.
At one point another guest asked if he was the owner (because believe me the way this man was talking, it's as if he ruled the place), he rudely snapped and said "well what are you trying ask me? I have been here since before this place was opened. "
There were so many other remarks like those. Frankly, I gave ZERO tip because I have never received such horrible treatment from a waiter.
Never going to that location again.
P.s. to the management team, if you want to know the name of that server, you can reply back to my email from 2 weeks ago (assuming...
