Problem: I had a similar experience to the previous reviewer on this store. When I moved here from Michigan, my car required some modifications in order to be fit to drive on Canadian roads, and Canadian Tire have the contract with the government to do that. Very small modifications ended up costing me close to $3000. I felt completely at their mercy and talking to a mechanic after the fact (at the time I knew NO-ONE), he felt I had been ripped off. They were not very responsive to questions or phonecalls. Very shabby treatment and very condescending. Amazed people still take their cars there.

Problem: I went here to a birthday party for a relative, so it was a catered-type menu, with choices for each course...so I can't speak to the regular menu, but I did get to try 3 different entree's, 3 different appetizers, a soup, a salad...y'know, we were family so there was a lot of plate-passing. The place was very busy, but honestly, I didn't get it. They seem to rely on the easiest routes to flavor....salt, sugar, and lots and lots and lots of garlic in everything. This side of my family is the Italian side, and the unanimous opinion was....too much garlic. So that should tell you something. Like I said, you could put salt, sugar, and garlic in a plate of sawdust and people would eat it, but I did look at the menu, and I would expect a chef to try a little harder at those prices. The garlic noodles, while aptly named and their "signature dish", frankly I couldn't eat more than a bite or two. A big bowl of starchy noodles with lots of oil and garlic. I could make that at home a lot better for 1/10th the price. The soup was a "ginger-ravioli and mushroom" soup that crossed the line that is so easy to cross when cooking with ginger, into tasting like Pledge furniture polish. There were California rolls and Beef Satay type appetizers that were also, uninspiring. The decor was groovy, as noted below, with the stream flowing under a plexiglass floor and up through some plexiglass tables, and the bar was nice...I ordered a whiskey on the rocks, and the bartender was generous and prompt. The bar was populated with well-dressed attractive people doing their best, so I suppose if I was a 32 year old PI attorney chasing tail I might go there for a drink to see what was crackin'. But I ain't. So I won't. I'm also glad that I got to try the place on someone else's dime, but, I feel bad that a relative took that hit. The place was busy, though, so obviously not everyone feels the same way I did. Everyone at my table did, though.
