  • The Boiler House

    Review by Don Ellis
    Wouldn't things be better if every day was like Oktoberfest? Well, the gute life is only a trip to Gooderham and Worts away, courtesy of The Boiler House.

    While Clubland West continues to host most of Toronto's hipster spots, forward-thinking builders are working hard to bring the party into the Distillery lot. The Boiler House, owned by John Berman and Matthew Rosenblatt, boasts everything its Clubland compatriots have to offer with one exceptional bonus: space.

    "The hugeness of the space adds to the comfort level," admits event coordinator and self- described clubber Janet Boyce. "We want people to relax and socialize in a fun atmosphere, but not deal with some of the club drapings."

    The staff seems to share that sentiment. "It has the sense of a resort but in a fun, pacifier-free adult party zone," says one scurrying waitress.

    we were greeted by a hostess who told us she had " no idea " how long it would be for a table and to wait outside because they were not open for another 10 minutes. we were the first ones there and there was nobody inside or outside the restaurant. no waiting list. no instructions. just told to wait indefinitely. the buffet was fine , and its a nice room but our server gave off the dreaded 'I don't want to serve you' vibe and should consider a career change. at these prices it is reasonable to expect basic etiquette and customer service. we felt we would have gotten better service at a chain. will not recommend.

    The ambiance is good and the jazz groups are excellent, but this aspect can never make up for the hostile discriminatory service which its waiters offer.
    This establishment seems less interested in hiring people with manners and some trace of customer service, and instead gravitates towards inmature teenager-like 40 year old men.
    I asked for a non-alcoholic beverage and got "juice and pop", nicely rolled eyes, and the back view of my waiter as he abruptly turned on his heal, leaving me in mid-sentence. The restaurant was far from full, my waiter far from busy. I asked for the dessert menu 4 times, and the only time I got anything close to it, was on the last occasion "the kitchen is closed".
