| - Went to Weslodge with a group of eight friends, first time trying. I was admittedly a little hesitant from reading some of the reviews here but can honestly say it was a great experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by friendly hosts and wait staff who were attentive in spite of how busy the place was. The menu is a little different in the respect that many mains are ordered as group items, though they do have a good selection of single-plate mains. We ordered appetizers to share, mussels on toast for me, and they were delicious. Each of us went for a our own main, for me the veal schnitzel, which was plentiful and topped with a fresh arugula salad. Others had one of their varieties of burgers, or the pasta dish. There were no complaints at all about the mains, which were fresh and tasty.
A couple of us stepped to the washrooms after our mains, and when we returned we found plates of desserts being served, which we didn't remember ordered. One of our friends told us that the manager came to our table to let us know that felt our mains didn't come as quickly as he thought they should, so they would give us all desserts on the house. This was a real surprise as we thought that there really was no problem with the timing of our dishes, but the gesture made our nights. The desserts were excellent ranging from stick toffee pudding to small cream tarts and other great items.
As we were leaving, the host followed us outside to ask us how we found everything. Needless to say everything was terrific.
There are a few comments that the place is noisy, and all I can say is you don't go to a restaurant like this to have quiet conversation; it's a social, happening place that has a lot of great energy in the room.
Thanks Welodge for a great night, we'll be back.
