Pickle Barrel Leslie St - Toronto

The food was very good. Service was a bit slow considering the restaurant was not too busy when we arrived. As we were a large party of 10, we were seated in an area that was accommodating and a bit secluded that allowed us to talk freely and not have to speak too loudly. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and had no issues splitting the bill in three.

Tried something new this time. From the local menu: grilled beef mushrooms. It was as though they emptied an entire jar of whole peppercorns into the sauce and on the plate. Really over the top and overpowering. Kept crunching down on handfuls of them with every bite. Extremely difficult to eat, and I couldn 't pick them all out. Ended up with terrible indigestion. Out of character for Pickle Barrel. Normally I get the maple salmon, which is excellent. A nice place for a family dinner, but will avoid anything with the peppercorn sauce in the future.

Waited for a server for about 10 minutes, place not busy and when she came to take our drink order, she then stopped to hug and chat with other customers took their order and brought water for them, none was offered to us

I was little bit disappointed when the server brought the bill in bill there was 15% added for the tips set serve told that 15% is just the people working in the kitchen . That’s not fair like us hardly afford to come out for dinner and ended up paying over our budget

Restaurant was very quiet for a Saturday night at 5pm. Our server was very good other than slow bringing the bill. Gravy on the brisket was a bit too salty for my tastes but we will return when we're in the area.
