Dearest Friends and Strangers Alike,

Dearest Friends and Strangers Alike,

Today, I wish to take you on journey, not, however, of culinary excellence. As a well rounded traveler and a keen plate, eye for quality and attention; I present to you a whimsical horror story.

As the song goes, from a distance the world looks blue and green. The very same can be said for the Humber Room. From the exterior of the restaurant, it looks well maintained and like a nice place to go. Upon descending the stairs, one is presented with a sea of young wait staff. They are all happy and very nice people. I should at this time note, they are students. Happy learning in the most hands on way as possible. So their nervousness is to be expected and met with nothing, but kindness and patience.

Once seated, it was about a ten minute until our waitress introduced herself and took our beverage orders. About 10 minutes later, when the drinks arrived; the lack of menus was noted and brought over in five minute span. Upon reviewing the menu, it truly is very in line with theme of the place, however, the portion sizes aren't anything to fill you up with.

There were a few mishaps, chicken arriving as cold as the very floor wherein the poor poultry lost it's life. The dish had to be returned a number of times to get the correct order and temperature, however, the plate was free. Another mishap was simply getting the bill, it was about an hour wait for our bill to arrive. Glass after glass of water refilled, the table lay empty and we were quite ready to depart.

Overall, the student-staff are wonderful and friendly. They will truly do well in the future with more practice. I only ask that they try and have more confidence in themselves, because they did a good job in a tough profession. I would rate this place a two star location and suggest only going once to experience it for yourself. For students of humber; it's far better then Chartwells.
