| - My daughter and I have been to other Firkin's and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We walked in expecting the same of this location.
Yes, the view is beautiful and the patio is a good size. The service was very slow. Our waiter didn't seem to want to be there, after we finally ordered, my dish came first, after waiting a while for my daughters dish we asked the waiter where her order was. When he came back he told us that the dish had gone to another table. We didn't have to wait too long for her dish to finally arrive.
I ordered the Classic Spuds (there was nothing on the menu that appealed to me) it was extremely salty, I tried to eat it but I really couldn't. I asked the waiter for some plain fries, which he brought, it was a lot less salty but still salty, I had about 1/3 of it and gave up.
My daughters Shepherd's pie was the same, very salty, somebody needs to tell the chef that salt is a seasoning and not a food group.
Our waiter didn't seem too impressed with the fact that I only wanted a coke (I was driving) and my daughter had a water. After eating all this salt we really needed more water, again I had to ask for it, the waiter really didn't seem to want to be there. He brought two glasses of lukewarm tap water, no ice and no straws.
We are not drinkers and usually just ask for water, which is not a problem at other restaurants.
All in all it was a bad experience, I usually tip 20+% I stuck to the recommended 15% and that was just because I didn't want to offend.
Won't be returning there, there are many other places who do appreciate their customers.
I noticed more commends on here about the food being too salty, you'd think they would heed these commends. Put a salt shaker on the table or have it as an option to ask for.
