| - If you're coming here for a lunch during the week, make a reservation! Rookie move on my part.
The actual space is huge when you look at both the bar and restaurant side. Tons of room, but also tons of local businesses in the area that pick this as their lunch spot. So resos = good idea.
We needed a table for four, and were sat at the bar while we had our 20 min wait. Great beer and wine selection, and I was pretty pleased that they had guinness and strongbow on tap. Crown floats all day!
When we finally got sat we were given one menu for the four of us. We asked for three more, and the server forgot about both our drinks and the menus for about 15 minutes. She came back with the drinks after literally saying, "Oh, Shit." as she walked by haha, and when she returned we again asked for menus. She forgot again and 10 minutes later asked if we were ready to order. Nope. Still don't have menus, miss...
We asked for food recommendations and her response was "I don't really know..I've only worked here for 2 months, so I'm not sure what's good." Umm..2 months? Okay..
We ended up ordering the baked brie and the spring rolls for our appetizer. The spring rolls were RIDICULOUS. I could eat those every day. The brie was super small and underwhelming.
My sister in law and I had the quesadillas, which were honestly just weird...They had tortilla chips baked into the quesadillas, so had this weird soggy corn flavour, and were served with a sweet bbq sauce rather than salsa and sour cream. My brother had ordered the mushroom pizza which was also underwhelming. Super doughy, not very crispy. And mom had the fish and chips were actually really good.
Atmosphere wise? London pub meets flowery garden print booths...It was a bit bizarre, but it works for them I guess.
Anyway, not the best food, not the best service, but good for a drink or two!
