  • The wife and I decided to use up our Groupon here for an early dinner this evening. Being a "Commonwealther" all things from "The Mother Country" usually go down pretty well with me, however QVP was a really mixed bag. The first thing I thought when we were seated was "nice flags, sheesh it's loud in here". I know it's a pub, but there wasn't really the relaxed atmosphere here that I associate with British pubs - instead there were a lot of people loudly cheering a basketball game - like in any US sports bar.. Right off the bat this was a problem for me, so please understand in advance that this is a review of Queen Vic as a dining experience and not as a bar. Being Australian, I naturally thought I'd try the "Aussie beef pie" which, despite not being pie-shaped was OK enough. Tiny considering the $13 price tag, but pretty tasty considering the great quality of the filling. Not what I'd call an authentic Australian pie, but decent as something all its own. The pie came with some cold and nondescript mashed potatoes with cooked peas and carrots. After polishing off my $13 pie in about half a dozen mouthfuls I knew I was going to be hungry later (fortunately Riviera has a tasty Indian restaurant in the food court so we decided to pick up some stuff from there for later on this evening). Service was friendly but very slow. I felt like the drinkers got the lion's share of the attention and there was at least 25 minutes that went by between our plates being cleared and us getting out the door, It was a little disconcerting to have my credit card taken only to see the same server walking around taking someone's order several minutes after they disappeared with my card. They did apologize for the slowness, so that was OK, but it didn't round off an already mediocre experience very nicely. Overall I think you'll probably like QVP if you're into bars and drinking and would like a bit of comfort food to go with your drinks. As an Australian my experience here didn't make me feel whisked away into a familiar Commonwealth vibe and the place just isn't really for me.
