| - Last night was my second visit to the Richmond Hill location of 3 Brewers, overall I'd give it 3.5 stars.
I enjoy it's uniqueness in the cluster of restaurants located at 404 and highway 7. Right by the window, you see its equipment for brewing their in house beer.
I ordered their rasp-beery lemonade to start ($5). They offer around 5 beer cocktails in the $5-6 price point. It was a nice size and tasted delicious. It was girly enough to be slushy, pink and pretty, but you still taste all the beer undertones, well worth the price I say (base on this alone, I'd give it 5 stars). They offered us free beer samples after our server asked what their preferences were and my friends went with their feature beer (not sure which one) but both liked how special it was, although both said they'd prefer their usual commercial ones.
We got the ploughman platter ($19) to start, it had 2 cheeses, some prosciutto, salami, pickled veggies, bread, pear and fig jam. It was a wide spread but I would have preferred less variety and more quantities of each instead. The brie & prosciutto was beautiful but not enough to share, whereas we had not so popular items (the other mystery cheese & pickled veggies) and no one wanted to finish them.
I also got the new chicken pesto flamm, which is their signature pizza like flatbread. The flavours were delicious but I found it a little soggy and greasy. My friends got roasted chicken (he loved it) a full rack of ribs. The full rack($29) was good portioned, atop fries and onion rings, served with some coleslaw. It smelled really good because of the beer bbq sauce, but my friend didn't find it tender enough (no falling off the bone action).
Because I didn't want to fight for the bill with our friend, I went up to pay first...which seemed to be a mistake, since after that the server didn't come around our area anymore. We would have liked more water and a box for our leftover food.
It was a great experience and I'd come again.
