| - Meh...
I know yelp doesn't allow title's on reviews but that would be mine. I had not been their in a while and was in the area last night for a little mid week dinner out.
Let's start off with the good things:
- The restaurant seemed really clean. The tables were nicely wiped down with no weird film on them (as some tables at pubs tend to get). Every tables was neatly set up and waiting for guests.
- The uniforms on the waitress were not too revealing and the seemed to be allowed to wear comfortable shoes. I know this is not a big deal for some people but it is for me. I don't like how some pubs have their waitress showing WAAYYY too much skin on top or on the bottom. I can't you how many times a hard working waitress has been just performing the regular functions on her job and I have seen a pantie or some boobage pop out of their 'uniform' (or lack there of), none of which is appropriate in a workplace. I also hate those restaurants that have their waitresses dress in super high heels while running their feet off and standing for long hours. I know those waitresses would never complain but as a patron I can tell your are in pain and I hate seeing it (jumping down from my soap box now).
- They have a decent sized menu. There seems to be something for everyone so I could see how the place would be really inclusive to all food tastes.
Some of the not so good things:
- I found the food to be sorta pricey. Every plate was at least $14 for items that are less expensive at other pubs. My husband partook in the evening special which was a vegetarian pizza which was half off (that was a good deal) but the menu said it would be an 8 inch pizza and when it arrive it was 6 inches at best. I suppose maybe they 'measure' the pizza before it goes in the oven and then it's 8 inches or because it's on special it's smaller but if you were paying the full price, that pizza would be expensive for what you got. Don't get me wrong it was a tasty pizza but not worth the full price tag only worth the half off.
-The food was just okay for the higher price tag. I had the Yorkies and I am a HUGE fan of Yorkshire pudding and these were good (my momma still makes the best thought.... SHOUT OUT TO MA!) but the roast beef was a little dry and the gravy was pretty salty and unidentifiably lumpy. However, I just scraped that gravy off and enjoyed my plate of food, it just seemed expensive for what I got though.
- I found the drink specials to be not that special, the Tuesday night beer special was really only $1.00 off the smallest one, $0.75 off the medium one and $0.25 off the largest one. I get it you are discounting beer and you don't want to be throwing profits away but come on, offer a better incentive and maybe it would be fuller in the restaurant.
- The service was kinda slow to begin with. I hesitate to mention this as our waitress admitted that she was new (but in later conversation with her she said that she was there a month which is new-ish and makes me feel slightly better about mentioning this). We waited almost 20 minutes to get our menus. Not so much as a 'Hi, I'll be right with you' or an apology for the wait. She spent a lot of time chatting up the tables of men that were also assigned to her section. The place was also not really that busy so I wonder how service would be should it have been busier.
LASTLY, the down right unacceptable:
- They charge for refills on pop. WHAT?!?!?! Is it 1991? Have we stepped back into the past? Can we smoke now in this bar? Is Brian Mulroney Prime Minister? Is Ralph Klein the premier? I am sure that the menu mentions it, but, because its not 1991, I didn't even look to see if the pop was bottomless. So imagine my shock, when I received my bill and was not only charged $3.25 for a pop (which we all know cost less than a $0.25 and it was half ice) but I was charged an extra $1.00 for each refill. I was charged almost as much as a beer! If I would have had a beer, I probably would have received more actual liquid (on account of the pop being mostly ice). When we brought this to our waitresses attention she mentioned that she had just worked there a month and this was the first time she has noticed the charge.
I know I probably won't be back to this restaurant as I felt super nickle and dimmed at this place. It wasn't that great that I can over look the feel of paying too much for what I got.
