| - I visited Bannock again with a few other friends on a Wednesday night. It was the last week of school/work just before the holidays, so it was good that we made a reservation because it was pretty packed.
This time, I ordered the arcadian court chicken pot pie as it appears to be another one of Yelpers' favourite dishes at this O&B restaurant. I was quite anxious because I wanted something warm and hearty that night since I wasn't feeling all too well.
As it arrived on my table, I felt the presentation of the chicken pot pie was quite boring compared to their other dishes. There definitely could be some improvements in that area. Besides that, I thought the chicken pot pie was very filling and unfortunately, way too salty for my taste. It was so salty that I just could not take many bites of it. At least the mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty good...
Even though I was quite disappointed with the dish that I chose this time (perhaps it was just that one particular chicken pot pie...or maybe this 'comfort food' concept means food that is too salty for my liking?), I still enjoyed the ambiance, the music and the setting. The staff, again, were very friendly and polite. I also loved their warm s'mores pie last time and I had every intention of ordering it again. However, it was either the way-too-salty chicken pot pie or myself feeling too tired and unwell, I no longer had the appetite. I didn't even take a bite of my friends' order of warm s'mores pie, and I usually have a second stomach for desserts. ;)
