| - I was at The Abbey on June 13 2011. I wanted to try it out, we have so many times passed it when it was quiet. They have a gorgeous big patio that wasn't slammed with people... (Patio Photo's Included)
We decided to eat inside, since I wanted to take some photos for yelp and get a better idea of why this place was so poorly reviewed.
I found the food (Fish & Chips) to be delicious! Pleasantly Surprised!! They also have a Veggie Burger, but we didn't go for it...The Fish has some spice and herbs in the batter which make the fish flavorful and unique. We both (My husband and I) ordered Fish & Chips and a pint of Stella. It was well cooked... Taite said it was one of the best fish he has had in Toronto... Crunchy Batter, Flaky Fish... Photo's Included...He would give the fish a 4 1/2 out of 5 (He is a hard marker when it comes to fish)
This bar has very cold beer, a great on tap selection and a typical darker and warmer feeling that most traditional pubs have. (I took a picture of the on tap menu for those looking)
There was one gentleman running the entire show, taking orders, working the bar, making drinks for tables, and for bar patrons and serving up the tasty food. He was very polite, genuine and accurate. We got our beer in 2:36 seconds after we ordered... Pints... Good Service to say the least! Also, we got our fish in about 12 minutes... Piping hot Fish, okay hot fries... The fries are like a skinny shoe string fry with the peel on. I would have liked them to be hotter, but I am really picky about the heat of my food. (steaming hot, burn your face is right up my alley)
This place is a solid local pub, It isn't a Hipster joint where Hipsters can pretend to play dingy while getting served up gourmet something you have never heard of... It is a good bar where they are polite, to the point, efficient and don't have time to give the reach around the Hipsters want... But We liked it. There was some major damage on the ceiling near us, but we were told about it, and I didn't find that distracting at all.
The Hockey Game was playing on a Monster Screen, and on several other TVs... We will be back. They also have Karaoke, which I always like to check out karaoke...
Our Bill 2 Beer, Two Piece Fish & Chips X 2 and a soda all rang up to under $40.00 with Tax.
I like it.
The Gentleman working let me know that the patio is great when it is sunny and that they get sun until really late, Pretty Awesome, Can't wait to try that. I will review it again then. Maybe they can score a 4 next time with me...
