| - Described to me as "a hipster's Jack Astor's" by a friend, I was a little bit nervous about coming here. After our initial visit, I'd be more inclined to compare it to a pub.
We shared a beef rib poutine: fries covered with a house-made, creamy gravy, green onions, a sprinkling of grated cheese, and a pile of shredded ribs. Was glad that I ordered a side of gravy (for an extra $2) for my entree fries, cause their gravy is pretty yummy! Really discernible from that brown powder/water mix stuff.
Had a bit of an unfortunate hiccup (henceforth known as "the hiccup") for those of us that ordered burgers in finding bits of hard bone/cartilage in our house-ground patties, but they were tasty otherwise. My cheeseburger had a thick and juicy patty, covered in melted cheese and topped with fresh slices of tomato & lettuce. Was happy to eat almost all of the large portion of shoestring fries that accompanied the burger.
I have to say, most impressive of the night was the way that management and staff handled everything when we told them about the bones. The server was really, really nice and attentive as was the manager. I chose the Candy House salad with seared tuna as a replacement (comped at the end) which was four slices of seared tuna on lettuce with sweetened walnuts and feta cheese. It was good too, but if I were to order again I'd still opt for a burger. On our way home, my partner mentioned that aside from the hiccup, he very much enjoyed his burger and hopes to go back and try again.
