We went here last night on a double date and as a first time check in on 4square we earned 15% off. Yay! Of course we checked in here on yelp as well.
When I walked in I realized I'd been to this venue close to a decade ago as another place... I don't remember the name, but I think it had karaoke and maybe had parrot in the name.
Anyhow, as soon as I walked up to the door I remembered being there years ago and it being a typical pub type place with yellowish or cream walls and older brown wood accents. Once I walked in I was met by bright white walls, black painted cement floor, and it was brightly lit. It looked unfinished until after 10 when they cleared the tables off the soon to be dance floor and dimed the lights while adding mood lighting. It turned night clubby after 10 or so apparently and had much better lighting.. it no longer looked unfinished.
I ordered the grilled cheese that was a brie, tomato jam and prosciutto chunk of yummy! It came with chips(or soup or salad) for an extra $2. Seemed odd to me since usually one or two of those are usually offered with the meal at most places, but they were pretty good. A little on the salty side for my liking, but a nice colourful side for sure. They came with a caramelized onion dip that was really good and definitely added to the chips. One thing I really liked upon researching the venue, once we set it as our destination for the night, was that everything is made onsite... even the ketchup. My table mates enjoyed the burgers which they all appeared to enjoy.
Our service was good. The food came quickly, but it was not busy so I pretty much expected it would. The water was refreshed fairly frequently and the waitress was on the ball for the most part. Once we got our bill we had to ask for the 15% off which was originally confirmed upon our arrival and separate bills which took three attempts to get correct. The price was decent for dinner for two with a couple drinks each at less than $40.
Overall we enjoyed our evening and spent an entire 3 hours there without realizing how quickly the time had passed. I would definitely go back for a casual evening.
