Hi Clarissa, I think you misunderstood – we were trying to change our order so that we COULD eat in at the restaurant afterall, but the cashier rudely told us that it was too late to change the order (even though she’d hadn’t even rung it in yet!), so to answer your question – no it wasn’t about tipping the waiter (and are you serious about that question? lol!), it was the lack of good customer service skills of the person behind the cash register that day. I’ve since been BACK there, and ordered the exact same dish to go (again) and the service was fine as was the dish, although I still think it’s too overpriced for what it is.

Hey! I just had dinner there and I really liked it. Food was well priced and the service was good. And you can’t ask for take out and eat it there… Did you just not want to tip the waitor? =[

Hi Helen,
Sounds like you completely agree with me, so thanks, I guess!

This is not a review.
Eric, the head chef and owner is nothing but sweet and nice to the visitors. He comes out and talks to you even when he’s working – which is far from many restaurant owners in the Toronto area.

Why in the world would you take it to go and then sit there in eat it? What you’re asking the waiter doesn’t make sense, which is probably why you were treated the way you were. It’s a restaurant, not Harvey’s.

The prices are different AND the portions are different in take-out. Understandably, if you ordered take-out, they wouldn’t be able to fix the order because half the food would be cold, and the addition would be warm.

“that chef just fried the salmon in butter”
I’m going to understand now, that you do not understand what food is. A lot of high-end restaurants cook things simply. Anyone who knows anything about food would tell you that. Pick up any Ramsay book and he cooks anything he makes with rarely more than ten ingredients. I suppose you ‘food critics’ would barely know a thing about that.

They do taste like McDonald’s fries, but the difference is that McDonald’s doesn’t replace their oil as often AND it leaves a nasty aftertaste that isn’t present in Jules’ fries.

Line-ups don’t say anything about good food. McDonald’s always has line-ups and we all know that food is shit.

Hey Meredi,

I’m not surprised that you say that…the cold draft must emanate from the owners!

Be glad you took it to go… it is always FREEZING in that place, summer or winter. Not my favourite place in the ‘hood, that’s for sure.
