   Took 10-15 mins for our server to acknowledge us once we sat down. Empty dishes and glasses left on table even though we kept ordering

   We were a party of six out for dinner ahead of the Barrie Colts game. We had made a reservation ahead of time which was very convenient and saved us the wait and we were seated once we arrived. Our server, Citrus, was great but the support staff was lacking. Another staff member brought out our appetizers but no plates or napkins, it was our server that brought them once she came to check on us and the food. The same thing happened with our entrees. Our meals were brought out by another staff member and we asked for cutlery, waited and nothing came. Our serve came to check on us and promptly brought us cutlery, even though we told her that we asked the other staff member for them. I felt for our sever as she was constantly picking up where her team members were dropping the ball. Food was good, although $2.99 for a spoonful of guacamole is a bit pricey. Despite the hiccups in service we had a great time and would eat here again.

   Food was below average for the price point. Everything else was average. No major concerns, but food was just not great.

   Booking wasn't ready we booked over 2 weeks in advance and still had to wait to be seated as they did not have it ready. No ribs to order as they didn't have any. No IPA beer. We didn't even get to sit before waitress asked what we wanted to drink. We had to ask hostesses for water and a knive to cut the birthday cake. Place was empty as well. Like the staff wanted to go home early.

   Dined in with a friend of mine at Lone Star Texas Grill in Barrie. We ordered: Gator Bites were cooked perfectly. It had a tender and juicy texture from the meat of the alligator tail combined with the crispiness of the batter. The seasoning was great that eating these without the dip was highly satisfactory. Although the dip added a layer of tanginess and creaminess to the dish. Grilled Chicken Fajitas were also seasoned perfectly. The blend of smokiness with the cumin, garlic and the peppers went really great together. The tortillas were made in house. They were soft and easy to roll. The dish came with sides of shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, rice, salsa and sour cream. They also served complimentary chips and salsa. Overall, the food was delicious. I wish the Gator Bites had a bigger portion considering the price. The server, Nevada, was polite and friendly. They had a nice spacious space as well.

   We had reservations and were seated next to the front doors with a cold draft coming in our kids insisted to wear their jackets, there were large tables all over that were empty where we could had been seated. Drinks came quickly but it wasn’t until our food came when we were asked if we needed more drinks 35min wait. Our tiny table for 6 people was so crowded I had to take our empty glasses to another table to make room, we had to ask for plates for our fajitas 3 times. My son was brought chicken fingers not fajitas, my in laws had chimichangas both came cold in the centre

    Party of 9, took 2.5 hours to complete service. Dirty dishes remained on the table for at least an hour and half after we finished. By the time we left dishes were still on the tables. Beers were warm from sitting, dessert was melted from sitting...
