Let me begin with saying we love love love the food and cocktails at Field Guide! Everything we tasted so far are bursting with flavor and are very unique combinations. However last night the way we were treated quite upset me and my friends because we made a reservation for 8 pm and when we got there they told us our table is not ready , people were sitting in our table just ordered their desserts. We were seated at the bar and told to wait for that table to finish, even though they take your credit card info to make the reservation ! We had to wait 43 minutes to be able to sit at the table we made reservations and our server did not say anything like oh we are sorry, apologies nothing, as if this is okay for this restaurant to do this to their patrons. I worked in hospitality and we always either let people know that they need to leave by certain time because that table is reserved or we didn’t seat people there close to the reservation time. Worse case scenario sincere apology or an offer of a dessert would have been nice after making us wait 43 mins for a table we reserved. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: CA$50–60 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Beef Tartare, Mushroom Bao

Hi Simay, Thanks for your compliments on our food and drinks. I was the server who chatted …Hi Simay, Thanks for your compliments on our food and drinks. I was the server who chatted with you at the bar about your table not yet being ready and the status of the seated group. I don't think it's a shame to be busy and it's not something we're really prepared to apologize for, but we are grateful that you chose to dine with us as we don't take anyone's patronage for granted. We did ensure you had somewhere to sit and gave you service while you waited! I'd be more than happy to offer you a complimentary round of drinks next time you're in as a delayed thank-you for waiting to be seated. If you'd like to take us up on that, please shoot us an email: info@fieldguidehfx.com If you had been the group sitting at the table, I would have ensured you didn't feel rushed and allow you to complete your dining experience including dessert. While every effort was made to adhere that group to the two hour time limit, we were very busy last night (unusually so for a Tuesday) which is partially why they went over-time! We don't do anything with your credit card information as it's obtained by the booking software and hidden from us - we can only charge your card if you no-show. More
