I went to Grand Hive tonite with my girlfriend as we had an online WagJag half-price deal... and even at half-price this place wasn't worth it.
Sure the atmosphere is nice, and the staff was friendly.. but the food was awful!
First of we were sat at a table with bucket chairs and the table was too high for the chairs, it kinda felt like we were eating at the kids table at family dinner.
They bring a complimentary basket of large potato chips to start the meal, they're tasty... although when they caught the light and i saw the grease glisten off them i stopped eating them.
I decided to start the meal by ordering something that was trying to be passed off as a "tortilla soup", which was more like unseasoned grilled chicken thrown into a watery broth and some tortillas tossed in.. this soup was so bad i didn't finish it.
Then i made the mistake of ordering the quesadilla with chicken... once again, no flavor in this at all. I ended up asking for a side of wing hot sauce to make thing this taste better.
My girlfriend ordered the pear and walnut bruschetta, it was different but overall pretty average.
She then had the arugula salad, which although a plentiful portion has a an oil and vinegar dressing on it... but we think they forgot to add the vinegar.
... and to top things off I ended up getting a parking ticket when parking on the road directly beside the restaurant, so be careful of that.
If you're considering going to the Grand Hive because you're in teh area, do yourself a favour and walk across the street to The Keg Mansion, you'll have a MUCH better meal.
