| - Don't be fooled by the nice decor, this place is just like any other pub (with slightly worse food). Came here with friends for drinks and dinner and although I was impressed by their extensive beer selection, the food left a lot to be desired; granted, a pub is first and foremost about the drinks, but I can't help feeling that if you're going to serve food you might as well do it right.
I ordered the holy smoked salmon wrap and my friends got the pasta special. I am recalling how the salmon wrap tasted as I write this, and honestly I feel a little nauseous. The flavours of the wrap were fine but the salmon tasted...off. First, I was surprised that the fish came in cubes rather than in slices (as smoked salmon usually does), and as I continued eating I couldn't shake the feeling that the fish tasted like it had gone bad or at the very least wasn't fresh at all. Anyone who's ever eaten really bad, old sushi will know what I'm talking about. I ended up only being able to eat half the wrap before I had to call it quits - I absolutely hate wasting food but I am also extremely wary of bad fish. Quite tempted to give this place 2 stars because this particular bad experience has really stuck with me, but both my friends enjoyed their pasta so I'm chalking it up to a poor ordering decision on my part.
Great place to grab drinks and chat with friends. However, if you're going to order food, stay away from the smoked salmon wrap if you want to avoid phantom nausea at the thought of cubed fish for the next few weeks.
