| - I had heard good things about this place, so decided to go here with my boyfriend, brother and sister-in-law as it was close to our houses. When I walked in, I was intrigued by the board games they had in the front area and made a mental note to come back to play games some time.
We were seated in the back and had a look at the menu. There were some nice hearty dishes on there, and the waiter told us about some tasty specials (including a prime rib meal for only $20). They had quite a large beer selection as well. The problem with the food and beer menu was that they didn't have a number of things on the menu. It wasn't just that they ran out for the night, they no longer served some of the items. If there's a number of items that you don't have on the menu anymore, to me that's a sign to print new menus. Further, my sister-in-law wanted to try one of the specials, but when she ordered we were told that they didn't have any left. We went to dinner between 6 and 7pm, so prime dinner time. We were surprised that they would already have run out of one of their specials.
We started off with the nachos to share. It wasn't as large as the nachos you would see at some bars, but it was exactly what we needed. They tasted great, especially with the corriander in the pico de gallo (my fave).
When the mains came I was pleased with how big the portions were. There definitely wasn't a shortage of food. I had the chicken pot pie. The pastry was nice and flakey, the the chicken and vegetables inside were in a tasty sauce. My biggest qualm, however, was that it wasn't hot enough for me. It was warm when I first started, but by the time I neared the end, it was cold. I like my food coming out very hot, so that it's still warm when I'm finishing up. The prime rib dinner that my brother had looked really good, and I would probably get that next time. I had my eye on the yorkshire pudding.
It was my boyfriend's birthday that weekend so I asked the waiter to bring out a special dessert for him. I was able to choose whatever dessert I wanted to put a candle in, which was nice. They had a berry crumble special, which is what he wanted, so I was happy when they still had some left. The waiter told me that they had run out of one of the other desserts.
Overall, I was pleased with my experience at Stout and would go back again. While I think they need to update their menu if they have things that are permanently off of the menu the food was good and reasonably priced. Hopefully next time it'll be a bit hotter.
