| - What can I say?
What a disappointing experience.
The beer was ok and the space is nice but, in my opinion, way too big (in all honesty, I have never seen it even half full).
What can I say about the food? I just have one word that can be of the right fit: awful!
We had a chicken and avocado sandwich and the special plate with sausages and sauerkraut.
THE CHICKEN AVOCADO SANDWICH ($15)
This is a grilled beer marinated chicken with deep fried avocado, roasted onion aioli, crisp smoked bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato on a ciabatta bun.
The size of the sandwich could also be ok if it wasn't that the size and the thickness of the chicken is arguable: small and so thin that if you place it in front of your eye, you can almost see through.
Luckily, the fries that came as a side, were perfectly done: crispy and not oily.
TRADITIONAL 3 BRASSEURS SAUERKRAUT ($18)
This plate is made of a smoked mettwurst and Frankfurt sausages, beer braised pork belly & grilled black forest ham on a bed of beer marinated sauerkraut with potatoes.
While the sausages were just average (here in LV, we have an excellent butcher that makes fresh and hormone-free sausages for a very good price), the rest was not good at all, in particular the sauerkraut which in my opinion were very old, stale and felt like they have been sitting in a pond of old oil.
It was so bad that I had to spit them all out. and trust me when I say that it takes a great effort to force me to spit out something I don't like.
I really hope this was an isolated incident because if this is what other have been experienced, then I would suggest that this location should stick only to beer and finger food.
For a restaurant service/brewpub, leave the job to someone else that in LV, doesn't lack of places to go.
In the other hand, the service was prompt and attentive and surely doesn't deserve to deal with poor quality food who would leave customers with a "bad taste" in their mouth, walking out the pub and take off giving less tip than they would normally give.
Will I come back? No, because in the same area, 2 mins away in any directions, there are way better places than this one.
