Furiously frustrated!
30 second greeting time, dinner served within 20 minutes of the initial order, the entire party's meals all served at the same time. I don't think this is too much to ask. I'm frum and I'm frustrated because I cannot seem to find one kosher restaurant in the city of TO that meets these standards! Let's face reality - I know the restaurant specs because I used to work in a number of them as this put me through university. I am baal tshuva and I live in Toronto. And yes - when I go out to eat I still hope for the best. Here is the reality - if something goes wrong or service is not to standard, it's okay because the servers, managers, and owners know I will be back. Where else will I go if I do not want to cook? So - if these specs are good enough for the non-kosher establishments, where the prices are reasonable and the choice of restaurant unlimited, why isn't it good enough for a community who's choices are limited and who spend a fortune to avoid one night of cooking? Now, don't get me wrong - I take pride in my kashrut and I value the restaurants that our city has the potential to house. Toronto has the highest Jewish population in Canada with numerous visitors from all over the country, continent, and world. It's time Toronto house a sassy kosher restaurant style for all of us, especially those who are looking for a stress-free evening.
