   Restaurant is permanently closed. Don’t know why you can still make reservations

   Location has been permanently shut, although they still take, and confirm reservations only to leave you with no option upon arrival

   It would have been great to know that the restaurant has been closed for over two weeks. Thankfully the Old Spaghetti Factory is eighth next door and they were able to take us.

   The restaurant was closed when we got there. We got there exactly on time. I checked the OpenTable app and it still says the place is open all day. Yet, door is locked, I can see chairs are stacked and no one was inside. We drove 45 minutes to come to this restaurant, and funny enough I was wondering why there were so many open slots that day because it was a same-day revervation. We ended up going to the Keg next door along with others that were planning to go Shoeless Joe’s. Had a great time at The Keg.

   Booked the reservation 5 days in advance, upon showing up the restaurant was closed with no notice. Drove an hour for the reservation and was very disappointed I was not notified ahead of time that the restaurant was shut down due to not paying their bills.

   Open Table allowed the reservation but when we arrived, we found the restaurant closed with a notice on the door saying that Shoeless Joe’s owed over $60K in unpaid debts. Was lucky to get in elsewhere last minute on a busy Saturday night during Leafs playoffs.
