| - I eat here on a somewhat regular basis, either with my wife or my curling team. I read the reviews on here, and didn't quite understand what a lot of people were on about. I looked at the dates, and some of them are going back a bit (early 2010), and that is about when they switched owners, so maybe that had something to do with the negatives.
I have never had a bad meal here, and the food is always fresh, hot and presented well. I don't know what one reviewer meant by 'not much variety' on the menu. It certainly isn't a Moxie's five-page tome or anything, but certainly enough to cover all the bases, and this is a bar/restaurant, not just a restaurant. And, if you want a kids menu, go to Dennys. Why people think a bar is a good place for a child baffles me. I will grant, however, that some items on the menu are a little overpriced.
The service is the only thing I could possibly fault with the restaurant. It sometimes suffers from the 'disappearing server' disease that affects some restaurants. However, even with that, everyone is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
A nice, south-facing, patio and more than ample parking. If you're lucky, you will get to see the fire department getting deployed from their station across the street.
Beer selection is good, more TVs than you care to watch, clean, warm and looks good. You really couldn't do much better for a higher-end neighborhood pub.
