| - When this pub first opened, we were here frequently, but then their prices climbed at the same time that some of our favorite dishes left the menu (I miss you, Salmon Burger). They seem to have brought their prices back in line with the local standards, so we'll be adding them back into the rotation more frequently.
The thing we like best here is the outdoor dining. The patio area is large, comfortable and under-utilized. Being able to get a perfectly separated Black Velvet in a frosty glass while enjoying the sunset and the desert breeze is awesome, as are potato skins and football on a Sunday afternoon in January in front of the fire. The mismatched couches in front of the TV are comfortable, if a bit theme-y, and the tables, while a bit too large normally, are great for large groups.
As others have noted, we have also experienced less than ideal service in the past, but last night made up for it. There was a private party going on in the dining room. Our waiter, concerned that service might be slow, threw in garden salads to make sure that we wouldn't be waiting too long for our entrees. It was a really nice gesture, and completely unnecessary since our entrees arrived in a completely reasonable amount of time. We'll be looking for him when we go back soon.
