terrible experience. as local cabbage towners at thepaintboxwe had brunch twice and the experience was good - but it is difficult to prepare a bad brunch, right? so we decided to try dinner with a show yesterday and our experience was very poor. similar to the brunch the waiting staff were inexperienced and yesterday our waiter was clueless about the wine or food they served. the meal was a set 3 course meal and my main course was the worst i have ever tried in a restaurant over the last 30 years - i ordered "duck confit" and received small bits of cubed duck scattered over macaroni cheese. i am not a chef or restaurant owner but if i were i would be very embarrassed to serve this what can only be called a kiddies dish in what purports to describe itself as a "bistro." my wife's flank steak was also disappointing. there are not many good restaurants within the cabbage town neighbourhood but we will certainly be staying away from thepaintboxand sticking to hop (house of parliament) where the food is consistently good. and, by the way, the serving staff are up to scratch about the food, wine and beer they serve.
