| - Not someone who frequents pubs, but the ambiance of Queen and Beaver's space, the quality of its food and of course, its decent selection of drinks won me over. First off, the decor is plush, with tufted leather chairs lending, as is true to its name, a royal vibe perfectly finished off with a paintinf depicting its namesake. Though the options are limited for vegetarians, I did find a great mushroom pithiver that was well-portioned, accompanied by a zestfully seasoned salad. My dinning partner nabbed the handchopped burger done rare with stilton cheese and likened it to more a steak between two buns than anything else---a good thing, if you were wondering. The kitchen also makes a delightful secret recipe tomato sauce to go with fries, which I'm told, contains spices like fennel to give it an extra oomph. All in all, the only drawback I experienced is the price point, which for me means it's stowed under the file marked "for occasional visits only" vs. the file for "top go-to spots." I will be back sometime to enjoy the patio though!
