| - Great food, gorgeous interior, and really good service.
Most people who come here in the evenings are the pre-game folk, who head off to the ACC once the games start, as clearly evidenced by the number of clientele wearing team jerseys! It's funny though, this is definitely not your typical bar. Very classy place.
We were just here for the food and drinks though :) Started off with red and white glasses of wine, and the charcuterie board. It was delicious! Duck pate especially was rich and so good spread on crusty bread.
Then our mains:
1) Special of the day: trout on celeriac croquette and carrot puree. The roasted trout and crunchy skin looked amazing, she devoured this pretty quickly so safe to say, she enjoyed it a lot.
2) Top sirloin, medium-rare with caesar salad: the steaks were recommended to me so I was excited to try it! It was just mouth-watering.. cooking perfectly, still red with juices, and good-sized portion. Very filling. Caesar salad was good too, not too heavily-dressed.
3) Miller Tavern burger with sweet potato fries: I tried a bite of this and really liked it! I rarely order burgers when I go out but I would order this! The bun is this soft brioche but is really sturdy, and can hold all the ingredients together well. Not super messy to eat like some burgers. And you can never go wrong with sweet potato fries!
Later on, we moved to the bar to watch the hockey game on the screen and order some drinks. We had the Tavern Shandy, with Steam Whistle pilsner and St. Germaine in it, really good actually. I don't even usually like lemon! Also had the bartender make us one of his special drinks, maple-flavoured whisky and other things, can't remember but it was a strong drink! Very delicious to sip :)
In all, we had a great time and would definitely come back to try more of their menu!
