"As always, the servers and staff at Match are top notch. We are regulars. My son in law's parents came to visit from Sault Ste. Marie, and we decided to go to Match for happy hour and then back to our place to watch the Superbowl. Ask me how impressed I was to arrive, be seated, and then to be told there was no happy hour that day. NOT IMPRESSED. We go almost weekly for happy hour. It is held EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. It is your establishment and you are absolutely within your rights to decide not to have a happy hour. What was NOT ok, was that there was no prior warning. I initially made the reservation on line no warning there. I called the restaurant itself to amend the reservation several days prior, discussed the fact that it was Superbowl Sunday and why we were coming (happy hour) no warning then either. I am assuming that you value your regular customers, and when you decide to do something like cancelling your regular happy hour, there should be SOME notice given, especially if and when reservations are made. It is a reasonable expectation that you have happy hour daily (you advertise such) and it is also a reasonable expectation that when you cancel something that draws your regular customers, you let them know. Our waitress, Olivia, was wonderful and very apologetic, although it was NOT her fault obviously. She tried her best to recommend drink specials, etc. that could help make up for the lack of happy hour and we very much appreciated that. You have a great establishment, and one of, if not the best, patios in Sarnia. Yet, you continue to make decisions that make it hard for your regulars to continue to patronize (I have many many examples if you wish to hear them), and you also do not make financial decisions to capitalize on the gem that you have. Match Eatery should be THE place to go in Sarnia, you have the facilities and resources available. Experiences like what happened to us yesterday will definitely taint our willingness to come and bring guests."

"I am sure there is an explanation for why everything was so bad on the evening we dined here, but we never got any that made sense. We arrived minutes early for a reservation and were seated immediately as the place was only half full. We ordered cocktails and then promptly ordered appetizers and entrees. As we sipped our drinks, the other tables began to fill up. And, those tables ordered, got their drinks, and their appetizers while we waited and waited, minutes in total. “The kitchen is backed up” was an unreasonable explanation given the empty tables when we ordered. And it didn’t explain how multiple tables received food before we did. When the food came, the wings were cold and burnt. The poutine lacked an ingredient listed in the menu and was also burnt. We had twice asked to speak to a manager, with promises to send himher over, but it never happened. The waiter brought over a fresh round of drinks, which we neither asked for nor wanted, only to be told “just take them, the whole meal is free.” Moreover, they brought the entrees, which we rejected, less than five minutes after they served the appetizers, again reflecting that the kitchen wasn’t preparing food in any particular orderunless, of course, the waiter put our order in late and, perhaps, backwards. We were so disgusted by the whole experience, we left without even having eaten of the appetizers. Despite a promising menu, which we were excited to try, The Infirmary needs some care from management, if it exists. Very disappointing, to say the least. I am hopeful this was an abnormality and suspect that it was given how crowded it was when we left"
