sunterra market, keynote

this company seems to avoid hiring white people. it is illegal to discriminate on race, last time i checked. slow service andfoodwas cold last time i went for lunch at vic park. good to have a new kensington location but again, service at this new market is also poor.

i absolutely love sunterra's deli for a quick, filling meal or snack. the clerks are a little bit curt, but thefoodmakes up for it. i usually get the chili tofu which is my favourite item, as well as either a salad or the roasted root vegetables. i find most of the deli items to be heavily dressed and try to avoid those as i prefer the fresh taste of the ingredients. the atmosphere is calming and i never feel rushed. the upstairs eating area is comfortable and bright.
overall, an amazing place with options for all types of dietary restrictions.

very convenient location and there if you did not pack a lunch. part grocery store/bakery/ restautant/deli everything all rolled into one. they have a make your own salad bar, can order from the deli where they can heat up thefoodfor you. hot meals right off the stove. the paninis are really good. need to grab something for dinner? just come pick up what you need before you head home or get a mid afternoon coffee and dessert. come check it out!

went to market bar last week for drinks and dinner before a show. definitely a cool place, nice vibe. i liked the tvs and the pizza oven (looked gas). when we arrived we sat at the bar and were greeted promptly by the bartender. he listed off some specials, and we both had the 5$ stella - great deal! we looked over the menu, decided on 2 of the pizzas to share, but they were out of one of them. changed to the smoked salmon pizza & maple habanero ribs. they were both so dissapointing. the pizza crust was so dry, it was like eating a cracker. and there was so little toppings on it. no sauce, 3 or 4 pieces of cheese and 2 pieces of smoked salmon. it didn't taste good and was a rip off. the ribs were obviously re-heated, and weren't even heated through. when you put habanero on the menu, i expect some spice. there was nothing. it tasted like a peach/apricot based bbq sauce, overly sweet, with no heat. when the bartender asked how everything was, i expressed by displeasure but he just walked away. brought the bill, we paid and left. service was quick, prices were reasonable, but if thefoodsucks and the servers don't care, i won't be returning.

disgusting. worst of the worst. no service whatsoever; everybody on staff seems to have a break and the servedfoodwas way over priced. they have a very bad reputation how the price family treat their staff. esspecially in trochu. thank god they are unionized now for the workers.

social kitchen. i bought a couple seats at the social kitchen as a valentine's gift for my boyfriend. it was a great experience.
unfortunately the other couples were rather shy and the majority of the table was a large group so we didn't get to be too social but we will admit thefoodmade up for it.
the chef richard was very prepared and very knowledgeable. we did a mediterranean dinner of couscous, kabobs, roast veg, soup, pastry and baklava. the chef not only was agile in the kitchen moving from station to station helping people but he was also very knowledgable of the products. he replaced the pastry dough with puff pastry due to a bad batch which was a great success. he even served!

this is where my problem starts. there was a server who was very inattentive. when we arrived she said something about drinks that wasn't clear but i did request a glass of wine which she forgot but luckily she listened to my boyfriend who requested one for me. but she appeared only serve select few because my glass was never offered a refill and he was offered several. as i said the chef served. richard was social and smart and we didn't mind this but the guy obviously works hard and should not be on serving duty and music duty as well as teaching us.
when it came to paying we had to stay an extra half hour because the server dealt with the large group before us and let them split the bill. this was annoying because i overate and was feeling ill. and lastly she had the audacity to tell me i should have tipped. i would gladly tip the chef by slipping him a ten but she was neither nice nor professional. and it was a class. we cooked for ourselves and i understand there was still a service of sorts but i don't tip my yoga instructor or my university professor. at $50 a plate and drinks extra i feel they got properly compensated for the two hours we were there.

neat selections. really enjoyed thefoodselections in the restaurant and market area. loved the salad bar and foods to go. also, the bakery- especially the cakes and pies. the prices are not bad for entire cakes. where places with not so great cakes could charge more.
i really liked thefoodand array of desserts and coffee in the restaurant area. thefoodwas light but filling- i had their tacos and my friend had their pizza. i did not leave with a heavy feeling. i like the quality of theirfoodeach time there.
the only negative thing is the service. people working there were friendly, but the process of ordering was confusing. it was my first time there. didn't know where to stand to order and had to look for the sign. the menu was in two different places.
the guy taking my order was not paying attention to my order. i was placing an order for my friend and myself. he assumed i was cancelling my order when i started to order for my friend. the guy then was makingfoodfor me that i did not even mention.
my friend and i thought: "they must be starting out that is why they are not organized in the restaurant...". by the looks of it, this area was a bit of a problem for a couple of years by the looks of past reviews.
still would go for the food. the food, concept and building itself was marvelous.

what a gem!. found this place due to hubby"s work and have been hooked since. i am a foodie and love passion in food. this place hits it in spades both in the restaurant and in the marketplace below. it is above average, heathy and scratch made which is very rare in this city! market produce and meats and seafood are very above average especially in the long winter months when everything tastes flat. if you enjoyfoodand want to eat well - this is the place for you.

i absolutely love sunterra market. if you are in the area and are looking for some of the best, most affordablefoodaround at any time of day, check out sunterra market!

the other bowl of pasta that we ordered would be the parmesan chicken and it’s a rich white creamy and cheesy sauce. if you don’t like the smell of parmesan, you probably won’t like this one! both bowls of pasta was enormous – which i couldn’t finish. chunks of meat throughout the sauce, and enough sauce without drowning the pasta! so, overall, i really like this place! the prices are very reasonable, the portions are huge and thefoodis excellent! i will be back for dessert one day!

this is a really odd attempt at a restaurant and a take away in one space. i do not like that you have to walk through the bar or restaurant to enter the take away section or that the restaurant is so far away from the washrooms. thefoodwas okay but a bit over priced. service was spotty at best. had gift certificates or i wouldn't have gone and definitely won't be back.

eat from the deli, never the restaurant upstairs.... keynote deli is fine, no complaints...however the restaurant located upstairs is the biggest joke i have seen in a long time. where did you find these servers??? menu is microscopic and terrible, i wanted to go down to the deli, putfoodin a plastic container and bring something back up to the restaurant....horrible service andfoodupstairs in wine bar...

we've had our xmas party here for the last little while... from a catering perspective it wasn't very good. thefoodwas cold, not refilled very often, and the drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) are pretty expensive. dropping in for lunch is pretty decent though. like the patio in the summer.

now that sunterra is just around the corner, there’s a closer place to pick up everyday goodies; and a hangout where you can eat and enjoy thefoodwe all love. on the top floor, there is a self-serve cafeteria-style, but they have also included the two large tandoori/woks for the curries and asian/thai dishes.

very modern great atmosphere. i love the layout very modern and thefoodis great also i like the fact they have an wine bar very cool. very clean as well
i would defiantly come back again.
