I REALLY wanted to like this restaurant but unfortunately I was disappointed.
It's close to my work and home and it's new and looks really nice on the inside but a few things were disappointing.
First of all, we went at lunchtime which was around 12:30 and upon being seated we are told right away that the mussels are out. How could they be out when we came during lunchtime, the restaurant wasn't THAT busy and I feel like that sounds really disappointing and discouraging when the minute you sit down you are told that they're out of something.
I found the menu to be quite simple and not with too many choices, I am not sure if they have the same menu for dinner as they did for lunch, but it was a bit boring.
I had seen online that they have a lunch box item which looked pretty interesting but when we asked the waiter about it he didn't explain much and just said that they don't carry it. Was that a temporary thing? Was it never there? I guess we will never know because he didn't seem too apologetic nor did he give much justification.
We both ordered the pulled pork sandwiches which we were thoroughly disappointed with. I had a salad and my friend had the tomato soup.
The pulled pork was extremely dry. Usually pulled pork is really saucy but this one was extremely dry and not very flavourful. My friend literally had to soak up her sandwich in the tomato soup while I dumped all of the ketchup we had and asked for extra. We felt bad complaining so we tried our best to eat it but as excited as I was when I initially sat down, the sandwich really is what did it for me.
I am not sure if the other items on the menu taste better but the selection just did not "wow" me and my friend mentioned she had been to the restaurant before and had a chicken sandwich which she also said was quite dry and flavourless.
Not sure if I will give the restaurant another try. The waiter as hard to wave down even in such a small place so maybe they were short-staffed that day.
