Price Range (per person): $61-$100 Visit Again?: No Party Size: 4
Party of 4 and 3 out of 4 steaks were horrible. No taste, underseasoned and over cooked. My husband's steak was so chewy that is was obviously an inferior cut of striploin and/or previously frozen. When I sent mine back, the new one didn't arrive until everyone else at the table had finished eating- no apologies but rather the opposite.
When the 2nd steak was equally tasteless, the waiter (who I just looked online and found out was the sommelier) Paul Borys, proceeded to insult me- apparently the problem was not with the steak, but rather with my palate!
The first bill arrived with my steak still in the tab, even though it was supposed to be removed- this was not a favour- I did not end up eating dinner that night! Our bill was in the approx $400.
Spending this money should be an enjoyable experience.
According to the web...Paul Borys is 32 years of age being "20 in 2000" and arrogant POS doesn't begin to explain his behavior.
He needs to go back to school , what a rude uncultured kid , needs to go back to International Sommelier Guild and learn serving PEOPLE NOT serving wine.
Wake up Paul its people who pay for $60.00 / bottle of Champagne.
You are obviously a punk kid who has never paid for a meal that costs as much as The Breakwater Dining costs.
The facts: We are reasonable people, have traveled the world and enjoyed world wide fine dining, I am a Gourmet Chef and I understand kitchens can have a bad night- however, the front of the house needs to be able to salvage a diner's experience, not attack and insult.
This kid is a jerk. and should be tuned in by the executive chef Adrian Rusyn,
who after only 1 year under his belt as the Executive Chef for this once prestigious restaurant better get hold of the reins, don't let a kid ruin your reputation.
The dining room was virtually empty and I would not doubt that sales are down and business is suffering. Adrian staff maybe your issue, front of the house and the kitchen on weekends.
The facts are that Adrian Rusyn is still enjoying the reputation and the glory of the former Breakwater Restaurant's Canada-born, Holland-raised executive chef, Dirk Noort, but it is obvious that the glory days left with Dirk.
In the last year under the new executive chef... this restaurant is going down hill
We have been a client for 8 years and under the previous Executive Chef it was
a definite 3.5 star rating as Toronto Life stated .
And the former distinction of being the only restaurant in Mississauga awarded the prestigious CAA/AAA Four Diamond status is being sullied by people like Paul Borys and the weekend "B" Team that's in the kitchen.
Save your $400.00 go elsewhere. The lack of quality food preparation and the way we were treated Sunday August 12 2012 is very sad.
We will take our business elsewhere.
Next time run to a Keg's if you want good and consistent steak- even they do better than this so called 4 star restaurant. Paul Borys you may have a knowledge of wine - but you do not know people and belong in the Breakwater Dining
Restaurant .
Perhaps a course in manners would be helpful.
You are a current liability. Time to make a change!
Paul Borys, this will be posted on Restaurantica and on Trip Advisor. the internet is forever and this review is never leaving your resume and you will be famous for eternity :-)
