Called in afternoon to book reservation for 15, Get to Bayfield location in Barrie..sorry no reservation, imagine not writing down a reservation for 15 on Wednesday night! Place is freezing, most had to eat with jackets on. The food was cold, pay $23.00 for a dish to find it COLD. Service was so so but not staff fault, just slow kitchen. We took nearly 3 hrs there, two waiting for food! Sadly we go as a family about 8 times a year and it’s a whopping bill but No vote last nite.

Very Poor Service, arrived around 7pm and were seated quickly. ordered drinks and then ordered food. Waited 45 minutes while servers walked by without even glancing our way. We left. This is the third (and final) visit to this location. The last visit, we received some meals and others came much later. I usually summon the staff to correct issues but shouldn't have to so we just left (only ordered water so owed no money)

Boyfriend ordered a pizza and asked for no mushrooms and it came to the table with lots mushrooms on it. We asked for a new one and it came back "fixed" about 5 minutes later with still mushrooms in it. They just tried to pick them all out But missed some, I guess they thought that would be faster, they should take requests more seriously he is allergic to mushrooms!!!! We ended up getting no pizza

Great Food, Good Service, Nice Time

I thought the food was great and lots of it. The waitress was very busy, but also very attentive. I would love to go back tonight, a night out of the kitchen is always attractive, lol

I used to enjoy this restaurant, but lately the service just seems to be getting worse. When we first arrived at the door, no one came to greet us and we were left standing there for a while. The manager was at the bar and looked at us a few times but never came over. Finally a server carrying a tray came by to see if we had been looked after. Our food came out fairly fast, but the server was unattentive. After the meals came out he never checked back to see if we were ok and we were left without cutlery for the longest time. I finally had to stand up and take cutlery from another table. When I told the server that I borrowed cutlery from the other table, he seemed annoyed. I didn't feel welcomed and I'm not sure if I'll give the restaurant another chance.

Horrible service. Wait time excruciating only to be followed by incompetence and attitude. Food was average. Had decided to try this place in person, as their delivery service is horrible. One time we waited and hour and 30 minutes and then called to find out the delay only to be told they lost the order and would require another hour to deliver, we passed. Second time, second chance, I called only to be told "we really are too busy for this right now..and..click!" I chalked it up to a bad employee having a bad night, so we went in person. Big mistake! Employees ignored us, we waited, and then we were treated like we were invisible. I had to get up myself and go to the bar and take the cheese grater and pepper and grab missing forks myself, only to be met with "rolling eyes" by the bartender. To the person who suggested watching "waiting", thats the most immature and ridiculous response I have read on this site. Cheers

From what I can understand Wednesday night is staff night so don't expect much. The service is horrible because the server's are trying to finish so fast. We were at a tbale in the bar, but the bartender was so busy serving staff we were forgotten. The staff gets loud and drunk. Aren't there laws on overserving? The salad portions are getting smaller and smaller and the costs are getting higher. The food was good but smaller portions than before. The service is bad and it seems to get worse and worse with time. Won't be back until I hear they fixed things.

Been to several ESM's, and they seem to all be the same. Food is average at best, service is mediocre, and atmosphere is non-existent. Pasta was simple noodles and sauce, but was overcooked and bland. Definitely done with this chain.

Unreal from the moment we walked in. We stood at the door for about 10 minutes and were contenplating leaving. No one was there to greet us, no host, no server, not even the bartender who saw us and made eye contact with us on more then one occasion. You would think that they would come over and seat us somewhere but that totally wasnt the case. Once we got the to table ,the server smelled like smoke when she greeted us. Her name was Kaylin ,and she took a long time to get our drinks and then forgot to ring in the appetizers. Once the food came out it was cold, and partially dried out from sitting under the heat lamps. We spoke to a manager named Melissa and she was wearing some revealing and unprofessional clothing. We couldn't beleive that the restaurant would let her wear something like this. After she took the food off the bill, we ordered some dessert and that sat at the "Pizza/Salad" counter top for 10 minutes cause our server was no where to be found. Overall just an unreal experience of poor service, food, and professionalism. This is the second time in the last 2 months that we have had a bad experience at this restaurant. Hopefully someone from Prime restaurants can get their stuff together and fix the problem and East Side's on Bayfield. Their reputation is taking a big hit, and since there is another going up in the south end of Barrie, I think alot of their cliental will be choosing that one instead. Thanks

Chicken was not ready for dinner time so we had pizza. the waitress was angry that the chicken was not done and actually was cussing. I didn't mind the chicken not being done but she didn't need to use that language in front of my wife and I. I was visiting from Germany and had meals at many places in Canada over my stay but I will not eat here if I return.

Bad servers they seem to have silly girls working here who are not mature. food was not so good and in fact was not the food we ordered. when we asked for the food that we originally wanted the waitress acted like we were being outragious. not a nice time. the manager could have dome somthing but I am sure the waitres didn't inforem him/her of our unhappyness. This place is not one to eat at.

This place is always packed. But they do a good job of getting you in. The service was not so good, but they were really busy. They give you unlimited bread and salad with your meal. The good is amazing too, plus a pretty nice environment.
