Came here for a girl's brunch on Sunday with a reservation. We were seated quick enough at an outdoor table and the people watching was spectacular and the location is definitely great.
Now, I am not a picky eater but I am a specific eater, as in, if I specifically say "no prosciutto and no pancetta please, I do not eat meat and especially NO pork" I am not just saying this for kicks. The server read all of our orders back to us and didn't call out my no meat request, so I said it back to her and made sure that she heard me, all seemed on course.
My eggs benny arrived, with prosciutto, I saw it there clear as day as did my two brunch mates. Our server was not there so I flagged down another server, she saw the meat and immediately apologised and took my plate back. A few minutes later, our server came back out with the eggs benny, this time with no meat, cool cool, things are looking up.
A short while later, she comes by with my breakfast poutine side, I grab one forkful and it is one bit of potato, lukewarm rosée sauce annnnnnd a ton of juicy fat pancetta!
The next time the server came by, I showed her the poutine full of pancetta and said that she could take it back please because again, I do not eat meat or pork. She sort of stared at me and then I pointed out that my eggs benny had meat on them as well at first so I was quite disappointed. She then proceeds to tell me that my eggs benny never had meat on them as she saw them plate it herself, that's a a blatant lie unless she was referring to the second attempt at my breakfast.
I get it, meat and pork are probably delicious, but when I ask for my meal to not have any of it, I don' want it. Calling me a liar on top of screwing up both parts of my meal was not ok and honestly the food I did have was cold, the rosée sauce was slimy and the eggs were tasteless.
I would give a star and a half because the bellini was actually delicious but do you think she compensated me with one of those for free? Nope. Also when the bill came, the menu clearly stated that brunch bellinis were 10$ but she charged us 13$ each. This was corrected after some back and forth and showing her the actual menu, but after the poor food service I just wanted to pay and go elsewhere. Would not recommend.
