This place is not what it used to be. Hopefully, others would have a better experience than my recent visit.

Came in at 9:10pm on my friends birthday . It took 1hr for a server to attend to us. She them disappeared and apparently went home. After attempting to order from 3 other servers once the rest of our group reached at 9:45pm I approached the gentleman behind the bar. After 2 attempts he put us in talks with his manager. As she came our first 2 plate reached but it should've been 3 She gave us a comp bare foot bottle and the missing meal. 3 girl came in at 11 and we're served at the bar before the girls that came in at 945. 1 of our groups food was given to another table and all the gentleman could tell us is sorry. 3 hrs of bad service and we were issues a barefoot comp bottle. Akeila came to assist us and she was amazing. However the confusion was to much and we left on our friends actually birthday. Been here before and it was great but tonight was a shit show

The fact that I’m taking the time out to write this review says a lot, I bought two seafood medley with mash potato and this is the worst seafood I’ve ever had, the crab and lobster stunk of piss, it literally smelled like stale piss!!!! I felt sick to my stomach, the gravy looks like mudd water, cracked the shell of the lobster and crab and it’s black!!! Lobster meat is supposed to be white not black! Toronto Public health needs to visit this establishment asap because there’s no way this man is serving customers dead spoiled crab and getting away with it, disgusting!!! I noticed you replied, the seafood had a strong ammonia smell and I still have it sitting in my garbage, shall I attach pictures? Google when lobster starts to smell and taste like ammonia, it means it’s gone bad and should be disposed of not cooked and served, defending this speaks volumes, have a blessed day! You’re not about to make me look like a liar so I’ll attach pictures! Our order was order 205.

The waitress is very rude, and their customer service is very awful. The waitress serves men and not women they will look at females and pass straight. You have to wait one hour for anyone to come take your order at your table and this is a constant thing it happens all the time
