Pickle Barrel - Promenade - Thornhill

This place must be avoided in any case. Sloooow service, cold food, screwed reservation made by OpenTable. According to them, they do not take reservations by OpenTable, although I was able to make it the reservation on OpenTable. What a bunch of buffoons! They gave me a 15% discount after all this terrible experience.

Had a reservation for 12:15PM, was told on arrival that our reservation was not valid due to “problems” with open table. Waiting to sit for 20 minutes, then waited almost another 45 to serve our food after we ordered. When the food arrived, my wife got the wrong order completely, my requested over-easy eggs were boiled all the way through and rock hard. waiter was apologetic and beautiful, but overall a subpar experience

Extremely slow service and boring food with low quality

Rate the wide selection of items in the menu and on the children's menus. Our group of 9 enjoyed the food and service.

Upon arrival, our group of 4 was lead by a young hostess to the seating area and when we asked for a booth she hesitated saying she needed to get permission and walked away, leaving us standing around in the dining room for several minutes. Seeing us standing around waiting, one of the waiters offered to seat us and he did put us in a booth, albeit a different one. His bright star faded because he forgot to bring one of the refreshments and then he failed to deliver my wife’s main course. After catching his attention (again) it took another 5 minutes or so to bring her dinner, blaming the delay on goat cheese that had to be retrieved from “out back”. He assured us the meal was fresh but it was barely warm. We would have given the overall rating of 1 star but the waiter brought complimentary desert samplers, presumably to cover for the 2 delivery gaffes.... thus the 2 star rating. The soups were piping hot but salty. Frankly we didn’t expect better. Too bad expectations were met.
