"we are norweger and were on business trip to toronto and were told rs was the place for eating and drinking. now, took a taxi (cost us more than 90 cad and past several sportables on the way) and. rs at 8 o'clock on Friday. we are two balls in the late 40s/early 50s, smartly dressed. my colleague is white while I am from Southeast Asia (live 50 years in norway) on the door says this lady: what are you doing here? his closed event, only to invite. I knew it was nonsense and couldn't help her smile and she knew I knew it. when I worked as a booze in my youth, it was easy to see that they didn't want us as a client. I didn't want to argue and just wanted to go to another place, but my colleague still wanted to go on rs (because one of his friends had told him that it was a must-see in toronto.) So, I said we're just here for eating and drinking that we are not from Canada, we are tourist. then the people at the door asked if they wanted to drink or eat. we answered: both, but first food. I stressed that we were just going to eat and drink and then go. we were finally let in (here saw that everyone didn't want to let us in.) Of course it wasn't a closed event (it was just a baseball game between toronto blue jays and another team.) we ordered to eat what was nothing special, but pizza was (4 ok) but hey, his sportable, not a restaurant, so we didn't expect to eat excellent. the place was less than 1/5. we went after eating and drinking well and went. service at the table was good. we just want to know why the people at the door didn't want us to be customers? we were not older than many of the customers. we didn't smell bad. we were not dressed badly. was it because I'm colored? I hope not, but I can't find a reasonable reason. we will soon be back in toronto, could someone give us advice about places in the city that do not discriminate so? we are good clients; we don't have to, we eat a lot, we drink a lot and we'll tap well."
