| Newmarket's a growing town, and a growing town means
there's a growing appetite for something new. The Pickle Barrel has finally
moved north of the nearer suburbs of Toronto, opening a new
location here. |

| It was very busy. My mom made reservations (on a Friday)
for 5 pm as that's the latest they take them on Saturday. We got there,
saying that we had reservations for the round booth. She didn't listen and
took us to a smaller cramped table – after we said again that we had booked
the booth, the server checked and said it was occupied. |
| |
| The server took our drink orders – I ordered a bellini –
and it came ten minutes after everyone else's drinks due to a problem with
the ice machine. Then our server said that she'd be right back to take our
order, and disappeared for a while. It was about 5:40 pm when she finally came
to take our food order, 40 minutes after we were seated. |
| |
| Thankfully, the food was delicious. I asked the server
to get the rest of my sister's order and my order “to go”. She came back
with Katie's food, yet not mine. She said “sorry, I didn't hear you”. |
| |
| We paid (with no tip) and left. |
| |
| I know it's a new place that has just opened and it was
busy since it was a Saturday, but there's no excuse for throwing out half a
plate of food and waiting 40 minutes to take an order. |
