| - The Fifth Pubhouse = Ah-May-Zing.
I am absolutely in love with the décor and ambiance of this place. While it keeps that more upscale pub feeling, The Fifth also comes with a lot of its own personality and style. Our Salt & Pepper shakers were little, adorable piglets. Really cool artwork (see: army dog in uniform), and other random items scattered through out. The menu is a giant piece of paper that folds out, kind of like a map. Love it.
Our server was super sweet and patient with us, even though we took a really long time to decide what we wanted to eat, and then rushed them to get us out the door so we could make it to the theatre in time after we ate.
The food is, simply put, awesome. I am SUPER picky when it comes to Deep Fried Pickles, and let me tell you, their Tempura Pickles are some of the best battered pickles in the city. They were cooked perfectly which meant the batter was nice and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor.
The Mac & Cheese with Bacon & Tomatoes was fantastic. Perfect amount of cheese, not bland like a lot of Mac & Cheeses can be, and like many of my carnivorous friends agree, bacon just makes everything better.
The Sheppard's Pie is, oddly, made with olives and bacon, but whomever thought it was a good idea to put olives in Sheppard's pie was a genius because it totally works. I seriously wanted to take a giant tub of it home and just live off their Pie for the next month. And, as mentioned previously, bacon just makes everything better =).
& this lovely establishment also honours their Yelp check-in offer - so make sure to check in to get your paws on a free dessert of the chefs choosing! We got free Whoopie Pies which were scrumptious. I'm not big on marshmallows but I was a huge fan of the marshmallow filling (I actually wished there was more!)
To end off our awesome experience here, when we were leaving the hostess gave us all free pastries. I am assuming, because the café is beside the pubhouse, they hand out whatever pastries they don't sell during the day. It's a random pastry (comes in a stapled closed bag,) but this just made me more excited because I love surprises. I ended up with a corn bread muffin that was fantastic. Super moist and obviously fresh from that day, and again, like everything else I've had here, full of flavour & delicious. I stole a bite of a friends Apple Cinnamon muffin that had chunks of real apple inside and it was also quite tasty.
4.5/5 - Almost perfection. The only things missing for me were a.) a nifty cocktail menu & b.) there was no hostess there when I arrived, so I sort of wandered around a little lost until a server found me.
Already planning my next visit here. They have brunch on the horizon, so I will be patiently (maybe not so patiently) awaiting it's arrival!
