| - I am in the middle, I have been here twice, the first was pleasant, celebrating a soccer victory with my team, the second was annoying.
Hence my stuck-in-the-middle review.
The second time I was meeting a friend for an after dinner drink. I meet her at the pub, she has ordered a water. She then proceeds to tell me she just threw up.
uhhhhhhhh
The hockey game was on, and my friend had chosen a wobbly table under a TV, I was flashed at by the images, while the pub was very dark. Maybe to accommodate for the sport viewing? The first time I was here, I remember it being better lit, I could go as far as saying it was bright.
The waitress came over fairly quick after I sat down, and I ordered a beer. It was fairly pricey for a bar that is not situated anywhere near a walking mecca, $6.75 was my Steamwhistle.
Unfortunately for our poor waitress, my friend insisted to drink the single glass of water the whole time and I had driven, so a second pint was out of the question. Also we didn't order food.
I did eat here my first visit, and I remember it being surprisingly good. The only detail I can remember is I had a side salad and the raspberry dressing they made in house was awesome!
So my ear was complained at by my friend, I drank my beer and the waitress was constantly checking to make sure we were okay.
I felt bad, so I decided I would tip her a little more on this solo beer bill. I thought $8 was fair, so i handed her a ten and asked for $2 back. She fumbled in her apron and placed what I thought was a twoonie on the table and walked off. Perhaps it was how dim this place was or she was really pissed my friend only drank water, but a loonie lay on the table. I had no way to prove now that she had short changed me. I drank the dregs of my now $9 Steamwhistle, donned my coat and said good by to the large white stone interior complete with horse print right next to the washrooms.
Maybe next time Riverstone, maybe next time.
