You have three options at this point:
(1) You can send in additional evidence supporting your claim of working at the first restaurant (letters, pay stubs, other records, etc.) This is a "request for reconsideration" and must be submitted to the program manager (this is described in the processing manuals on the CIC website). In general, they will NOT acknowledge receipt of your materials nor will they tell you they review them because they do not wish to extend your 60 day deadline. In the unlikely event they decide you have made your case, they would advise you - but otherwise you won't hear anything.
(2) You can appeal the decision. This must be done within 60 days of the decision and requires filing in Federal Court an "application for judicial review". You really should use an experienced Canadian attorney for doing this sort of thing. If you do not have an attorney, I would suggest reviewing recent court decisions (http://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/index.html) and find decisions that match your case and were successful. In each decision the attorney representing the applicant is listed - this will allow you to find an attorney who has demonstrated experience in similar matters.
(3) You can file a new application. This time you should present stronger evidence that supports your claim for experience - sending in the same evidence is not likely to be persuasive.
Note that these are not mutually exclusive - you could do (1) while pursuing (2), although if you wish to pursue (2) I would NOT do (1) without consulting with your attorney. You can do (3) at any time (assuming that your NOC is still required, of course.)
I am sorry they denied your application - that's discouraging, particularly after Sydney already evaluated it and determined you had sufficient points.
Good luck, regardless of what you decide to do!
