| - Finally went here for an actual meal! Having visited for drinks and watching many delicious looking meals pass before my eyes, I knew I needed to return for my own.
This place has gotten very popular since I first visited back in December, so I'm glad we made a reservation. If you're planning on visiting during peak times, you'd be wise to do the same, but note they don't do resos after 8pm.
We arrived right on time for our 8pm Thursday reservation and were seated promptly and made our meal decisions quickly. The beer menu is huge with lots of unfamiliar brews, so we asked a few questions and our server helped us pick our first round. A Left Field Maris for my partner and a Nicklebrook cucumber-lime gose for me. This beer was light, crisp, and with that same subtle refreshing flavour you get when you add cucumber to your water. Plus, well served in a wine glass.
We opted for one of the feasts (specifically the Vienna, one of two vegetarian friendly feasts), which is billed as good for "up to three". We two were not sure we were up to the challenge of finishing it all, but figured we could box-up the leftovers for later, which is what ended up happening. Hello schnitzel sandwich for lunch the next day!
The food was great and our server was nice, so the only reason I'm sticking to four and not five stars is because I did at times feel a little forgotten on the busy night we visited. My beer sat empty and we were pushing around our leftovers for awhile before our server checked on us. Not a major issue and I probably could have flagged her down, but just enough to leave me not feeling as jazzed about this place as the last time I visited. I'll be back again though. Busy nights get ahead of the best of any establishment and server.
