What a disappointment

I haven't been to Brassai since management changed and I was horribly disappointed. The food was excellent, just delicious, no faults there. Although, there was something about the bread, it seems each person was limited to one piece of bread. We asked for more and there seemed to be a problem. Our waitress was just not meant to be in the industry, she wasn't accommodating or pleasant in any way. She didn't realize that with 7 people she could have made a lot of money, we would have stayed and continued to have drinks and increased the amount of our bill. At first we let it go thinking she was just having a bad day but it got worse and we complained to the GM. He was surprised and we thought things would flow smoothly thereafter. But no it just went downhill, our drink orders were forgotten, our order was messed up. The GM came and gave us champagne on the house and all he said was I understand there was a mix up ladies the food should be here soon. No apology, no i hope things go smoother ladies, no follow up. One friend's 2nd glass of wine was forgotten and being that everything took soooo long to come she just decided to cancel it. Being in the service industry and having experienced bad service before, I hate to say that we hit rock bottom here. Between the stinginess with the bread, the horrendous waitress and the lack of follow up it was very disappointing. The meal was comped in the end but that is not what we were looking for, we were looking for a good night and great service. Again the GM never came back to do a follow up and say we have comped everything ladies, this is not the norm, we hope you will come back. That would have gone a long way.

I like the Renos

I went to Brassaii recently for a corporate event and I'm really impressed with what they've done with the space since the renovation. The front lounge booths are big and spacious with large tables - good for smaller meetings. I also like the idea of their smaller dining room, it allows for privacy for the more important meetings with clients.

World Cup at Brassaii

I work in the King West area, and I recently found out that Brassaii is playing the World Cup games in their lounge. The show all the games - 10:30am and 2:30pm daily - since they open at 7:00 a.m. and continue throughout the day. Not only is it so much more comfortable watching the games in their luxurious booths, but they are also offering specially priced beverages beginning at $1 an ounce wine and $5 draught. No need to rush home to catch the highlights when you can catch all the action live at Brassaii.

Welcome to Toronto

This was a comped meal which we very much enjoyed. This meal was very sophisticated and the entrees felt different. The atmosphere was both modern and austere however we were comfortable and relaxed. The hostess was superb. She exuded sexiness in heals. Similarly, the waitress was another cute blonde and worth her weight in gold. We were also charmed by the clientele.
