| - Wow! This place wasn't what I expected in a bad way. We arrived on a rainy Thursday night at 7 pm. We seated our selves and waited 10 min to get a staff's attention, another 5 min for the menu and waters, and probably another 10 min to have our orders taken.
We got the burger $8 with a side salad and the Phorench Dip $9 with sweet potato fries. Seeing as how it was taking centuries to get any kind of service we opted to get the poutain with brisket appetizer $8, hoping we'd have something to much on as we wait.
The appetizer took another 30 min to come out.
It was slightly disappointing. While the brisket had great flavor, we received mostly fatty pieces. The fries weren't hot, but warm to the touch. The gravy had an overbearing dill flavor and didn't really mesh with the curds.
The entrees thankfully arrived 5 min later.
I appreciated the fresh spring green mix and the honey balsamic vinaigrette was a perfectly light pairing. The bread they use is superb. Flavorful, flaky outer but hardy enough to hold the sandwiches.
The standard burger came with lettuce, tomato, and raw white onions. The burger was the standout believe it or not. Very juicy and cooked perfectly. The Phorench was a pile of prime, sprout slaws, and jalapeno. While creative, it falls short on flavor. It was just a mess really, again the overwhelming dill flavor in the au jus ruined the sandwich.
I would not rush to come back here again if at all. The service is what killed it for us.
