Looked so forward to stopping here for a flight of beers and baked pretzels.
Service - seated and served by lackluster people who looked like they didn't like their jobs. Not sure what the problem was but this was the most lacking service we had in our entire Toronto trip.
Atmosphere - big-chain brew pub.
Food - the pretzels were really mediocre. The aioli and marinara dips were yuck. Where is the mustard? The cheese dip? Perhaps other food is better although the reviews don't seem to support that theory. The brunch foods I saw on other tables looked good though.
Beer - first, very disappointed that the three set flights can not be modified. So for example each of the flights includes a fruit beer (which the server said was raspberry and turned out to be lemon) and either a porter or stout. We didn't want to taste any of these but wanted to taste other combinations. Anyway, frustrating. Then the beers were really almost mediocre. The IPA was best. Overall they were on the warm side - less than refrigerator temperature.
Tasting Room / Retail Store - we should have gone left as we entered instead of right into the restaurant. The only reason this review gets 3 stars in the friendly worker in the tasting room who offered generous samples of the brewery's most common 4 beers that would be found in restaurants. These samples were colder than the restaurant. I only wish there had been something we wanted to buy from here.
