    My husband and I went to the Pickle Barrel in Pickering last night. The caesar salad I ordered was just a plain bowl of romaine lettuce with a little bit of dressing at the bottom. Mostly dry lettuce so I gave it back to one of the servers and asked for more dressing. She said she would have it tossed with more dressing but never came back with my salad. I told our server about my salad, who came to check on us at the very end of our meal, and she offered to give me a salad to go. Again it was just a tiny hand full of romaine lettuce with a side dish of dressing....nothing else. I wasn't impressed - I could make it better at home. There were only 2 Servers to cover the entire bar /eating area where we sat....both Servers worked their butts off but unfortunately couldn't keep up. Ashamed they didn't have more help....we felt bad for them as they were both trying their hardest, and doing so with a smile. Honestly the food was ok tasting, warm at best, but not worth returning back in a hurry for. Our table had been wiped just before we arrived but the entire table had a sticky film all over it. I am not normally critical of restaurant experiences, but this one was disappointing. I wondered when I booked the reservation, there was lots of openings to choose from - knew it might be a bad sign! And I felt like it was, so not rushing back now...

    We have always loved Pickle Barrel but 4 of us went in and really wanted wonton nachos only to find they are off the menu. Very disappointed. Also I ordered the daily soup which was excellent but no crackers! Who heard of soup without crackers! Other than that the service was excellent. Food was quite good. Simple basics like crackers are a must!

    We visited Pickle Barrel for a Birthday gathering and loved it. Clean, friendly atmosphere. The food was very good, and good value for money. Our server was absolutely wonderful. Our only request, serve larger cappuccinos. They were the tiniest cappuccinos we've ever seen. Otherwise, fantastic.

    Everything was very bland; I think the kitchen ran out of all seasoning and spices right before they cooked our meals. Ordered the cesar salad and would have preferred a bagged salad kit from the grocery store; it was almost tastless as well. Calamari was super tough and gummy but not as bad as the rest of the meals; taste was acceptable.
