Searching for somewhere to eat between the Rogers Center and the Hilton hotel around 10 at night. Stumbled upon this place. Its a very modern take on an English tavern. The place was huge. There were thousands of people roaming the streets, some of which went here, so I figured we wouldn't have a chance at sitting down to eat. Turned out to be only a five minute wait.
Good sized menu with lots of beer & wine options. We were seated but it took a pretty decent amount of time to get our drink order.
Then drinks took a while to arrive. Water came without ice and one of the beers came out after our food.
I ordered the chicken pot pie and got pretzels & nachos for an app. As slow as the service was, which I don't blame our waiter for (the place was packed and seemed a little short staffed), the food came out very quick.
Pretzels were great. Huge and perfect doughy texture. Didn't care much for the mustard dip.
Chicken pot pie was great. Fluffy crust on the outside and the inside was delicious. Came with a garden salad, some of which wasn't fresh.
Nachos were horrible. We blamed ourselves for ordering chos at a British themed restaurant. The beef had no flavor, onions were extremely overpowering and the cheese didn't add much to it.
When the waiter finally asked how we were doing our food was gone. He was very concerned that we hardly touched the nachos though. Took a long time to get the check but when we did a manager came over and apologized for the nachos. He even took them off our bill. We didn't want or need an apology for them, let alone a freebie so I thought that was great customer service.
I don't visit Toronto very often but I don't think i'd run back here. If you order the right thing and can deal with the busy restaurant this place is just fine.
