Review of The Bier Markt King West

I've walked or driven by this neighbourhood place ...

I've walked or driven by this neighbourhood place for years and hesitated to go in because it always looks too busy. I've looked at the menu online and find it appealing.
Finally tonight I drove by and the patio was half empty so decided it was time to give it a try and paid for parking. When I walked into the restaurant it didn't look overly busy inside and asked the frontline individual if it was possible to get a table for 3 on the patio.l was informed the kitchen staff was "behind" and there would be a minimum 40 minute wait and she just walked away.
I am not normally a complainer, so meek me just turned around and left, looking at the half empty patio mystified. Maybe the humid weather tonite was getting to me but I started to fume and decided to just move on to another local patio. No attempt to accomodate in any way...just a lot of bad attitude. Toronto has hundreds of restaurants with great food, service, wonderful staff and great summer patios.Needless to say I won't be going back to this one. No need to give me a complaint reference#. I simply would not return under any circumstances.
