Tapas Lounge & Wine Bar

We tried this newly opened restaurant on Saturday night for a birthday celebration to try their «savour york» prix fix menu. When I called to make a reservation for an early dinner at 6 p.m., I was Told they could «fit us in». The person on the other line wanted to know if we were staying for the night since she had other guests coming in at 8. We were dining with kids so I said that 2 hours for dinner would be enough.
When we arrived in this industrial looking space, we were the only patrons in the restaurant. Most of the tables are low — lounge like. The few tables that are high with bar stool type chairs are all near the door and not in an ideal location. The bar dominates most of the room and there was a drum set in another part of the main floor suggesting that there would be live music later.
We sat in a booth with a low table. The waitress, Susan, was very nice but she could not overcome the incompetence of the kitchen staff. The lemon drop martini had no lemon taste. The calamari appetizer was ok but too chewy for me. The chicken wings my son ordered were good. The bruchetta was nothing special.
The worst part of the meal was waiting for our entrees — we waited over an hour between the time we finished our appetizers and the time the entrees arrived. The bacon wrapped tenderloin, when it did arrive, was tasty but tiny — four our of five of us ordered this entrée and they were all small. My daughter ordered off of the main menu — the penne in rose sauce and the portion for $ 14 was tiny. I will post a picture.
My apple crumble was the kind that you can buy at Costco — definitely not homemade. Mine was burnt. My son’s dessert dd not arrive together with the rest of ours. The lemon sorbet was served in a real lemon and was tasty. The desserts all looked like they were store-​bought.
I will never come back to this restaurant. Our experience was most disappointing.
