| - I was invited to join a group of work friends to this restaurant, which they hadn't been to since it had been converted from a typical pub. The lack of traditional pub food was disappointing to most of us, but we went ahead and picked a couple of things off the somewhat limited menu.
We ordered the P.E.I. Nachos, which is "kettle chips, tomato, jalapeƱo, salsa, olives, and cheddar sauce." We also ordered the calamari. Starting with the latter, it was a fairly typical version of this dish. But there was absolutely nothing special or interesting about it. It could've come straight out of a pre-prepared bag, as far as we knew. It was also delivered to our table far from hot, as though it had been just sitting there waiting to be picked up.
The P.E.I. Nachos fared much worse, surprisingly enough. The chips themselves were fine, but the toppings were subpar and sparse. There was an entire side of the dish that was just naked chips, which kind of blew us all away. How does this happen? And, like the calamari, the plate was served lukewarm (at best).
The ambiance and service was fine, and they've got a decent selection of beer, so I'd return just to drink. But I don't think I'd order the food again.
