Noise review insights for Canada, Restaurants

1 hour to receive appetizers, music too loud, 30 minutes to receive water when requested, mediocre food, and to top it off, we decided to leave after almost 2 hours because the main courses had not arrived, and the waitress still added a tip to the bill without telling us, or even letting us choose whether to give one.

10/10 experience at this restaurant! Atmosphere was cozy and the music was loud but Rob dealt with that in a hot minute! Rob was a wonderful waiter with a great sense of humour and had a box of reading glasses for reading the menu without even asking. Food was delicious and was not over stuffed. Special to go bag from Rob and his sense of humour. Would highly recommend this restaurant anytime!

1. We waited approx 30 for our 8 pm reservation. Why have reservations if they are not honoured in a timely fashion. 2 The noise level was like we were sitting in the kitchen. Could not hear our conversations across the table nor could we hear the specials the server verbally told us. Just give us a printout of the specials on a paper or on an iPad. 3. We ordered still water and bubbly and asked for the water to be left on the table as it was a very hot day. It wasn’t and the server was inattentive when our water glasses were empty. So we self served. 4. We ordered wine .Then, we were moved to a quieter area of the restaurant with a different server. When the wine came, I said to the server that it was this bottle was not the one we ordered. The server still poured the wine into the wine carafe. I asked if I could see the bottle. Sure enough, we were given a different bottle than the one we ordered. 5. When the server approached our table she always interrupted our conversation rather than waiting for a pause to ask her question(s) 6. The meal arrived which was tasty! Whew! 7. Then there was a mixup with the desserts. One order was incorrect and one couple had to wait 20 minutes for their dessert. Sadly, it was the newly engaged couple and the reason why we were out for this dinner. So, 1/7 for a high end restaurant. I am so disappointed! I hope management will try to address these issues so that this once great restaurant can regain our attendance. In the meantime, we will go elsewhere.

15 years ago this was a nice, gentlemans and lady hangout. Thick carpets, big chairs, older experienced waiters, great food. Today it's run by snarky millenial managers, belligerent waitresses, crowded with loud drugged up rich punks and the food is mediocre at best. Did Drake buy them out? Definitely not worth the hundreds of bucks you'll drop for a dinner here. $23+tax+tip for a gin and soda. Oysters are sub par for sure. Too bad, this used to be a classic. Not anymore. Don't get trapped by the fancy entrance. Avoid this place. Coming from a Toronto steakhouse connoisseur.

2nd visit, came back because the food is very good and the service was acceptable for the Danforth. We arrived last night at around 6, lots of empty tables and they asked us if we had reservations which we didn't and were promptly seated at the back of the restaurant right next to the wait areas and kitchen even though there were plenty of empty tables. The area was very noisy they were busy but not crazy busy. The waiter came promptly probably to get us out quick because we finished at 6:45. He wasn't very personable and didn't seem to recognize my daughter asked for a salad for her main course but he brought her salad at the same time as mine and my wife's, but didn't bring huge complementary bread and butter that all the other tables were gettig. Our main courses arrived fried Calimari for me and chicken breast for my wife both were excellent. The waiter had a look at out table but didn't bother to ask how our dinner tasted our if my wife would like a refill for her drink, we had to ask someone else for the refill. Fast forward to asking for the cheque he brought the machine I punched in the 15% tip even though I should not have, he teared the receipt left it on the table without even looking at us and saying thank you or have a nice evening. That's a first even when I've had bad service the server always made an attempt to seem grateful but not this guy. On my out I told the hostess the waiter didn't say thank you or to enjoy our night. She feigned surprise but I saw a lineup of people waiting to get in and understand where the ENTLEMENT comes from, they are busy even though there service level sucks. Too bad I won't be making a return visit but will be sure to recount my experience to friends and family and hopefully they will tell others.

Amazing food and friendly staff. We celebrated our anniversary there for the second year in a row. However, we went on a Friday night and the place was unfortunately very loud. Conversation was difficult.

The atmosphere was nice. Had to walk up two levels of stairs, but was greeted by hostess. Asked to sit at bar as I was solo. The environment was loud, with people laughing and talking and with the overhead music. I was watching media on my iPhone which was hard to hear because of all the noise. When some blonde lady tapped me on my shoulder and rudely said we can hear your phone. The bar was packed with a couple on both sides of me didn’t seem to mind. The Bartenders didn’t seem to mind or I’m sure they would have politely asked me to lower or turn my phone off. Ordered the Baseball steak with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Potatoes good. Vegetables could have been more. The steak says it’s cooked medium rare or less. Ordered medium rare it came more medium. Didn’t resemble a baseball steak at all.
