King Rustic Restaurant Bar - Toronto

We were in a group of 11 and everyone enjoyed dinner but several drinks orders were forgotten and the server had to be remembered several times. there was also an appetiser who came after the memory of the server well after the meal. this was the only problem and maybe it was just the server because the eating and atmosphere were great and drinks were delicious.

The meal was absolutely inspiring. we were amazed with woods.

Once arrived, they told us they do not offer the Summerlicious price anymore. I booked it though OpenTable for the Summerlicious menu offer. We were on time, they just decide not to offer the menu. Was really disappointed. The alternative food was still good tho.

Was looking forward to my first Summerlicious lunch for 2016 and was utterly disappointed. Location from work was very convenient, but that’s where it ends. Options for starters were Butternut Squash Soup, which they didn’t have, Field Greens with Roasted Peppers Goat Cheese or Tomato Soup. The salad and tomato soup were ok, nothing spectacular. For main courses, options were as follows: King Rustic Burger (a little messy), Raspberry Bliss Salad, Blackened Tilapia Wrap and Turkey Club House. They also state that “All burgers, wraps, and sandwiches served with Rustic 's Cajun Fries”, however, not the case when their deep fryer was not working. They could’ve fried fries the old fashion way with a pot of oil on the stove. Optional substitutions were, the Field Greens with Roasted Peppers Goat Cheese salad or garlic mashed potatoes. We both opted for the garlic mash. Was ok at best, but a little on the thin side. Dessert…Fruit Bowl 'n ' Crème, Strawberry Shortcake or Strawberry Bundt Cake. All of the dessert options were not available because they obviously didn’t do any grocery shopping for the menu. We were offered either Shortcake (no strawberries) or chocolate cake (notice how that wasn’t even part of the menu). Chocolate cake is chocolate cake when you really didn’t want it. All I have to say is that if you have a set menu that you have the ingredients for it. Go grocery shopping!

The food was good aside from the meat balls being cold. From the beginning of the dining experience, everything seemed unorganized. Appetizers were brought to the wrong guest as one of the appetizers were meant to be eaten as an entree. Then when the entree's came out, that same appetizer was not brought out. Food was not brought out at the exact same time as it came out in three different waves. One meal was brought out 15 minutes earlier than the other entrees. The last wave was brought out when all the food was brought out and we had to ask for it because it was missing. The quality check was not asked until after everyone was finished their foods and we had to stop a server in order to ask for what we were missing regarding the food. And when asked about missing foods, one of the servers were rude in their response. I understand that the restaurant had been short staffed at the front of the house, but the meal quality and the meal frequency was unacceptable. Did not have any expectations coming into the restaurant, but was deeply disappointed in both the quality of food and the quality of service.
