Einstein's Cafe - Guelph

Our waitress Sam (I think was so pretty and nice and sweet all night long. Would highly recommend she get a pay raise! Great environment :

Really cute place to eat, love the cozy interior. A must visit for any Guelphite. Their patio is nice too since the neighborhood is quiet.If I had known the sweet potato quesadilla came with a bed of plain rice beneath it, I would've asked for a substitution. The quesadilla itself was delicious and their Caesar salad was perfect. I'd return just for the caesar.Very interested in their experimental meals, which is also what I'd come back to try.

The waitress behaves like she is doing you a courtesy to let you dine there. Our table location was very poor, and she proceeded to indicate most tables had a standing reservation . Aha for the special folks I assume. We had a reservation. My pasta was very poor and she explained to me each meal is cooked especially for the individual. Hmmmmmmmmm guess I am once again not special enough. I have been a server for many years, either their staff requires retraining on CUSTOMER SERVICE or they don 't actually need patrons.

We were so looking forward to eating at this establishment but I have to say, it was disappointing. First off, the chair I had to sit in was broken and I almost landed on the concrete patio. We asked about the wine list which wasn 't listed anywhere and then asked about the size of the glass of wine being offered, after that the chalk board was brought out with the wines listed, per glass and bottle, it would have been cheaper to order a bottle, the per glass size was paltry. Our friend asked about the special that was mentioned and if the Steak was Tender Loin or not. The server was very rude to us pretty much all through our time there, we were told pretty much you get what you are served and whatever the Chef decides to create , so no real answer on Tender Loin or medallions. We were disappointed with the rude server, the vague answers to questions about the menu and foods being offered. Our friend couldn 't finish his dinner because the beef was so tough. My appetizer of Mussels was OK except for there were 7 of them that were not open and couldn 't be consumed, when I mentioned this to the server it was pretty much oh well, generally there are 1 or 2 that don 't open ... this was 7 of them which I was paying for. My chicken dinner was good, the beef dinners were tough. We would not go back again to eat here either.

My husband and I are foodies and know all the best places to eat and Einsteins is one of those places. It’s one of the best places to eat in Guelph. After having a horrible experience at McCabe’s last week, it reminded me that I meant to write my review about Einsteins. We took our daughter and her boyfriend for dinner 2 weeks ago for a celebration and as always, amazing food, and service. The prices are really reasonable especially when you get the amazing quality of food. We enjoyed the Cajun rounds to start and the sweet potato quesadillas and chicken quesadillas and vegetarian quesadillas, all were delicious. We also enjoyed two bottles of wine at a reasonable price. Thank you for the great service and experience.
