My first experience at Bronte Bistro was awful, and unfortunately my second experience was no improvement. The first time I went I ordered the veggie burger and was disappointed to find that it was a warmed up Morningstar Farms frozen black bean burger that I buy regularly at the grocery store. The service was so slow that I had to leave my husband at the table so I wouldn't miss the book reading we came for even though we were seated 90 minutes before it started and still hadn't received our dessert!
I decided to give Bronte Bistro a second try, but again the service was very slow, and our waiter was surly. I ordered the portabello mushroom sandwich and the mushroom was so drenched in soy sauce that the bottom of the bun was soaked and dripping. It was probably the worst sandwich I have ever had. I love the idea of a cafe in a bookstore but will not be returning here.
