Wow!
What
a
beautiful
location,
right
on
the
waterfront
overlooking
the
marina.
It's
a
great
place
for
a
restaurant,
especially
with
the
views.
I've
been
meaning
to
come
here
since
they
opened
in
early
2020,
and
then
the
pandemic
happened.
Some
friends
had
offered
to
take
me
out
for
dinner
to
celebrate
my
birthday
and
it
seemed
like
a
great
opportunity
to
finally
come
here.
We
were
seated
on
their
upper
deck
covered
patio.
Unfortunately,
our
experience
left
a
lot
to
be
desired.
A
LOT!
We
had
scouted
their
menu
online,
which
was
one
of
the
factors
in
choosing
this
place.
It
looked
good,
with
a
few
items
appealing
to
me.
Once
seated,
however,
we
were
given
photocopied
versions
of
a
condensed
menu
that
lacked
the
items
I
was
looking
forward
to.
To
make
it
worse,
several
of
the
items
listed
weren't
available.
Even
worse,
we
had
to
ask
for
another
drink
menu
because
the
one
we
got
was
faded
and
illegible.
Our
server
brought
over
two
crumpled
and
creased
pages.
This
should
have
been
a
sign...
To
get
things
started,
We
ordered
a
bottle
of
wine
and
a
couple
of
beers.
We
also
ordered
a
couple
of
Calamari
dishes
to
get
us
started.
A
significant
amount
of
time
had
passed
since
we
arrived,
since
we
had
ordered,
and
since
our
drinks
finally
arrived.
Most
noticeably,
the
top
third
of
the
Stella
glass
was
all
foam
-
not
to
the
standards
set
by
Stella
Artois.
See
attached
photo.
The
wine
was
good,
even
though
our
server
held
the
corkscrew
under
her
arm
while
peeling
off
the
foil
top.
The
calamari
finally
arrived
and
looked
like
a
decent
serving
until
we
discovered
it
was
sitting
on
a
bed
of
fries.
This
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
menu
and
it
made
the
serving
look
larger
than
it
actually
was.
To
make
things
worse,
it
was
dry
and
a
bit
overcooked.
We
suspected
this
was
frozen
food.
The
skinny
fries
were
actually
decent.
Of
the
available
items
on
the
rest
of
the
menu,
four
of
us
chose
the
K.F.C.
(Korean
Fried
Chicken)
and
one
chose
the
Chicken
Wings.
Our
food
finally
arrived,
most
of
it
anyway.
One
order
of
K.F.C
was
missing
and
we
had
to
remind
our
server.
When
it
finally
arrived,
it
was
not
as
hot
as
it
should
have
been.
Was
it
just
sitting
on
the
kitchen
counter?
Don't
know.
The
portions
were
very
generous
and
the
flavours
were
decent
but
both
the
wings
and
K.F.C.
were
oversauced.
With
it
being
my
birthday,
we
contemplated
dessert
but
most
of
it
was
unavailable.
Skipped.
Overall,
our
evening
at
The
Sailing
left
a
lot
to
be
desired,
not
just
the
food,
but
the
service.
Unfortunately,
I
just
don't
think
the
staff
knew
any
better.
It
shouldn't
take
2½
hours
to
have
the
dishes
that
we
ordered.
The
time
that
we
spent
waiting
for
food
allowed
us
to
observe
a
few
things.
Every
item,
from
appetizer
to
entree
was
served
in
the
same
wide-rimmed
pasta-style
bowl
-
at
every
table
within
view.
The
food
arrived
before
our
cutlery.
The
same
at
nearby
tables.
We
also
had
to
ask
for
water.
These
should
have
been
at
the
table
as
we
were
seated.
Maybe
candlelight
would
have
been
nice?
As
it
got
darker
and
they
finally
turned
on
the
lights,
we
saw
the
ceiling
above
us
and
the
wall
behind
us
was
covered
with
bugs,
spiders
and
webs.
Powerwashing
and
maintenance
could
remedy
that.
The
female
servers
that
we
observed,
had
extra
long
painted
fingernails,
in
contradiction
to
Ontario's
Food
Safety
Guide.
I
have
over
fifteen
years
of
experience
working
in
hospitality
management.
Most
of
that
time
was
working
at
a
high
end
banquet
facility
where
my
responsibilities
included
training
staff
and
enforcing
standards.
I
see
things
that
the
average
customer
may
not
see
and
I
can
tell
you,
this
place
does
not
meet
the
minimum
standards.
