   Appies and mains were amazing. Thought the Cathy's dessert would be awesome but will pass the next time. But will definitely go back again, great restaurant!!!

   Unfortunately, the restaurant had one person servicing the entire restaurant including the bar. The manager on duty was nowhere in sight with efforts to support their staff and we were unable to experience their establishment. It was a huge missed opportunity on their part and first impressions mean everything, especially, when dining out is expensive and there is many diverse choices to choose from in the market. I also would have liked the hostess to explain this upon arrival, letting us know service would be disrupted but instead, led us to our table while we were left unattended for close to 15 minutes.

   Hi Krim, Thank you for your review. We are displeased to hear of your experience with us. We can assure you this is not the level of service we pride ourselves in at Smash Kitchen & Bar. We will certainly discuss with our team members on yesterday evening to ensure something like this does not happen again. Were you able to partake in dining? How was your meal if you were? We would love to know further feedback & be able to offer you an opportunity to dine with us again in hopes of a more positive experience. We would kindly ask you reach out to us via email so we can resolve any issues with your night out. Looking forward to hearing from you.

   While, my food was great, I had the fish tacos and truffle fries (shared ) to start. Then I had the mixed greens salad (the acidity and tans of the dressing was exactly right) with the Cajun shrimp and a lovely decaf cappuccino to round off my dinner. My husband had the lamb rigatoni, not good… The sauce was too sweet almost undercooked, someone of Italian descent or married to someone of Italian descent would not like the sauce. the smash donuts or average at best.

   Coffee was not hot or taste good. Smash french toast fully sugar coated. Average breakfast, find Unionville location much better. Too dark inside

   Hi Sujatha, Thank you for your review. We are displeased to hear you did not have a wonderful experience with us. Our Smash French Toast is cinnamon sugar coated but we could always do it on the side for you in future if you prefer it less sweet. If you are ever unhappy with your meal or beverage, we always urge our guests to let us know while dining so we can correct it for you! We hope you will give us another try in the future.

   Bridget was by far one of the best waitresses we have ever had at a sit down establishment, She made sure that we were very well looked after and the service was very quick.

   We made reservations with the hope to come for dimmer and watch the Leafs game. We arrived the Leafs game was beginning and as we sat down American College Football was put on all of the screens. Manager refused to change. We left and won't be back.

   Hi Karina, Thank you for your review. We apologize that we were unable to change the channel; the football game was requested by existing guests in the building first so we did honour their request. Unfortunately we were experiencing issues with our sources & were unable to put the channels on multiple tables. This has since been resolved. We hope you will give us another try in the future to properly experience the food & service.
