| - I rate this place a 3.5, maybe a 4. Not sure.
My friends and I were having a bit of a reunion of sorts. A large group of approx. 25 people and we needed a place to go for the night with food, drinks and an atmosphere that was accepting of our age (late 30s/early 40s crowd who doesn't want to go clubbing). The Fifth event staff encouraged us to select the gastropub and they were able to accommodate our group with two big tables right by the bar and a condensed menu to order from.
First, the restaurant itself is really nice. Reminds me of a Roots ad. Lots of wood, plaid and Canadiana accents. It's cozy. The food isn't amazing (and that's probably the main reason why I can't give it a 4), but it was decent. I ate a burger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches and it was pretty tasty. The caesar salad was the worst I've ever had in my whole life. I don't know what they were doing with that.
Our waitress was Tiffany. She is seriously the greatest. She was on the ball all night long. Didn't make one mistake, never disappeared, and any time my drink was empty, she was right there offering me another. Even as we got sloppier as the night wore on, she was super nice and accommodating.
So, as a restaurant, it's A-OK. Definitely a nice spot to grab a beer and watch the game. If you have a large group and need a venue, I highly recommend. *Very organized* and a good time.
