    Hmmm I wonder if I can give it ZERO stars...argh I guess not.

    I need to emphasize that this is the Fortune Restaurant that is on Midland and McNicoll Ave...the one that has the phone number of 416-292-6833 visible from the road.

    Why would I give it zero stars? Well we never got a chance to eat there! Silly? Prepostrous? Balderdash? Well hear me out.

    My friend and I made reservations there knowing in advance that the place is usually full, especially with it being Mother's Day. They took the reservation and when we got there, we were informed that everyone who booked in reservations would just have to wait in line because they are "too busy".

    This is unacceptable. The whole concept of a reservation is based on the knowledge that the restaurant WILL be busy. So you can't agree to a reservation and say that they're too busy afterwards.

    Lady, that was the whole POINT of making a reservation.

    Oh but are you ready for the best part? The lady there then informed us we should probably go find another restaurant. What the heck? My friend's mom relayed the information back to us in some disbelief.

    Go somewhere else? I will.
    And you all should too. It is up to consumers like us to make a statement that service like this is unacceptable.

    ....of course more than likely my statement won't be read or followed by anyone and the restaurant will continue to generate craploads of revenue :P Everyone loves cheap Chinese food after all. I just thought I needed to make a stand.

    Now back to my fish and chips...

    Was this review …?
