The Exit Door - Best thing on the menu

Went here for a quick afternoon snack with my husband. We would have done better getting a hot dog and sitting in the car!! First, we were greeted by a hostess who had a skirt so short it barely covered her buttocks, and the patterned stockings did not add any class to the outfit. (As a matter of fact, we were taken aback to see a street walker on Hastings Street the next day wearing the same outfit). After we were seated and had placed our order, iIt took the waitress three tries to bring two clean plates to the table that we could eat off. We had a sampler Bruschetta - not bad, but the bread was way overcooked on the bottom, and it was difficult to cut through with a knife, let alone attempt to chew it. In the middle of the week, and in the middle of the afternoon, the music was so loud we had to shout at each other across the table. It was difficult to get ice in our water glasses. When we went to advise the manager of this he seemed genuinely concerned, but this rapidly deteriorated when he stepped away from the desk at the front to talk to us. Seems the man forgot to effectively button and zip all parts of his trousers, leaving him with a less than stellar presence. Will we return?? Not on your life!!

I ordered a chicken teriyaki box on chow mein noodles. Within a half hour of eating I fell ill and had major food poisoning. I would not eat at the Maple Ridge location again.
