| - Came here on a Saturday night, approaching the door we were greeted by a bouncer?? He told us they're would be a $10 cover to watch the UFC game. None of our party of 4 even knew there was a UFC game on tonight. We told him we were just here to eat....he said once we left by 9pm we wouldn't have to pay....Extremely put off by this I almost wanted to leave but because it was raining out we just decided to stick it out.
The pub was pretty empty for a Saturday night or maybe the cover charge detered everyone else... However there were lots of tvs playing sports games and a big projection screen in the centre airing sports games too. I'd say its a good option if you were coming to watch a game and the volume level on the tvs were pretty loud + with all the screens theres no way you'd miss a play.
We decided to sit on the bar side. Pretty standard pub decor. Our waiter brought over the menus and the specials of the day. It was about 7:45pm so no time for leisurely eating we had to be out by 9pm!
Our waiter came back to take our drink orders and then we were ready to order.
Appetizer
Cheese Perogies - Served with caramelized onions, bacon bits and sour cream
Your average perogies came out piping hot and crispy but not golden...lots of bacon bits but nothing spectacular
Mains
I ordered the
Steak sandwich w/ onion rings - Cooked medium rare topped with cheese and sauteed mushrooms and onions. The steak was cooked well with good flavour, only thing was there was a lot of fatty bits surrounding my steak. The bread a little too bulky and crunchy for the sandwich, making it diffcult to eat. Onion rings were average.
Two people in our party ordered the
Butter chicken with naan, papadum, and basmati rice.
It was a nice presentation, the curry wasn't bad a little kick to it was good chunks of chicken.
Shepherd's pie w/ garlic bread and a side of fries
Pretty good, nice portion, fries tasted really good, fresh cut, golden brown.
Food took a little too long time to come out considering we were on a time crunch and the restaurant was pretty empty, maybe 10 others max. We were out of there with about 10 minutes to spare. However our waiter was really nice and even volunteered to take a group picture for us w/o even having to ask.
