rev:text	Real star review: 2.5 out of 5. I wish Yelp allowed for half-stars. Another O&B restaurant in the city, they seem to be spreading like wildfire (or poison ivy). I'll go on record to say that I'm not the biggest fan of the O&B empire, i feel that their restaurants have become too chainy, too similar, and a bit uninspired. Popped into Bannock for an afternoon lunch with the other half & another couple we randomly ran into while shopping. Yes, I spend Sunday afternoon of the Labour Day weekend in a mall. It's embarrassing. Let's move on. Restaurant at 2pm was about a quarter full, were seated immediately by a helpful hostess. The dining room is nice enough, full of reclaimed wood (apparently salvaged from a sunken dock in Lake Ontario), blond wood chairs, mason jars of preserves lined along one wall (a restaurant design trend that is a bit past it's prime). The configuration & layout of tables in the space is a bit strange (due to the shape of the room), it's not super cozy, tables are packed in pretty close together. Ordered drinks. The Bannock Ceasar.($9) is quite good, spicy, boozy & garnished with candied maple bacon (my guess is someone in the O&B empire recently dined at Barque). Good wine list and selection of beers, I had the Beau's Lager ($8.5 for a 20oz pint). Meal: here is what we ordered: Pickerel Tacos ($11): lightly battered and fried pickerel with caviar mayo with a side of creamy cucumber & green apple salad. Fish was tasty, as was the caviar mayo, the shell of the tacos were really good, very similar to the outside dough of a steamed BBQ pork bun. Salad was very small, maybe 4 pieces of apple and 3 pieces of cucumber in total. Clearwater Lobster Roll with Root Veg crudite ($15): lobster salad contained hearty pieces of claw $ tail, light (a bit watery) mayo base. Side crudite was good. Margherita Pizza ($13): meh, a poor rendition of my favorite classic pizza. Large slices of unripe tomatoes on top was a bit disappointing. Prices for food were reasonable, but with booze the bill was punched up to about $35-$40 per person. Overall, an okay option in the Eaton Centre area. For the prices, would rather hit The Gabardine, Teronni or Mercatto.
