| - I was a bit disappointed with Bannock, since I always enjoyed Oliver & Bonacini and Canteen food, and thought it would be the same standard. Reading everyone else's wonderful reviews made me think that my experience could have been a fluke, who knows? The atmosphere was the only thing that was positive tonight, other than that, the food was mediocre and full of salt. I got the Chicken Pot Pie and Mash Potato, your everyday comfort food. The mash potato and gravy was alright, but the Chicken Pot Pie was soupy, not much content except alot of peas, and super salty! I drank almost a gallon of water to wash away the salt :( My friend got the Roast Duck Poutine Pizza, which according to the server - this is the "It" dish is flying off the counter. When she got her dish, seriously it looked like a three year old put together the dish. It was a piece of Bannock with cheese and torn duck piece, plus a pile of fries on top and gravy to top it off. It sure is exactly what the dish name is....Roast Duck Poutine Pizza + .super salt. My other friend ordered the Grilled vegetable bannock. This was semi-acceptable, the grill veggies were tasty but as she got to the end, oil was dripping from the sandwich and the chips on the side were creating a oil puddle of its own. Having had such a salty meal, we attempted to balance it off with the S'mores Pie. It was ok, but unfortunately didn't balance our meal, and left a heavy chocolate sauce feeling meshed with salt in our stomach. Maybe it was a fluke or because it is fairly new, I only hope they can catch up to the other O&B standards soon. I think I need another glass of water now.....
