I'm sad to say that I wasn't in love with MacAlpine's. The fact that the building has never been restored is cool, in a dirty kind of way. The floors will never be clean enough, because they are so old. That may seem ridiculous, but cleanliness is important to me when I'm eating somewhere.
Our server was odd, but helpful and attentive. We spent a good amount of time oogling the random items displayed throughout and were entertained with our surroundings.
The food is where I saw the problem- my Mac Cheeseburger was bland and tasteless. My broccoli and cheese soup was below average. I wasn't impressed one bit.
We ended up having dessert. I opted for a single scoop of Chocolate Malt Krunch, which I'd never had before and didn't love (total personal preference as my friend loved it). MacAlpine's is cool, but I think purely as a place to get something sweet.
