Toojays is one of my favorite restaurants in TV (I managed a deli in Miami when I was in college so eating deli style food brings back wonderful memories for me). While I love the food there, my wife eats there with me simply because she knows I love it--it is not her favorite restaurant but she considers it "OK."

I have no problem with with the portion size (I often take a half sandwich home because I can't finish it), but i have had a couple of recent issues with the one in SS.

A couple of weeks ago we had a waitress who was mediocre at best. Not particularly friendly, never came back to refill our drinks or see if we needed anything else (I needed a box to take home some of my meal), and basically threw the check on the table when we were finished. She was OK, I still tipped 15%, but to be honest I was a little disappointed in the service. I know we all have bad days, so I chalked it up to that and didn't feel it was necessary to complain.

Last week we had a good server but when we received our matzoh ball soup the matzoh balls were cold in the middle. I probably should have said something to the waitress (or sent the soup back), but we were in a hurry so we just ate the cold matzoh balls and figured I would mention it on check out. We ate the soup, I wasn't looking for the items to be comped, but when I told the gentleman in the front who rang us up (he appeared to be the manager, but I don't know for certain) he acted as though he didn't care. I just wanted to let him know so it didn't happen to any other patrons (who might have been less understanding), but I left feeling that they really didn't care.

I will still continue to go to Toojays because I love the food, but it is now more difficult to convince my wife to eat there. These were just a couple of minor incidents, but hopefully this is not a trend developing.
