| - Went to Granite brewery for Winterlicious ($28/person) a little while back, this was my 2nd visit to the pub. The first visit was a number of years ago, coming across the pub by accident and going in to grab a bite to eat -- I fondly remember the food being quite decent so my family and I came back for Winterlicious this year to try their food out. The restaurant is located right on the corner of Mt.Pleasant and Eglinton.
For the location, they have parking, which if you are anywhere along Eglinton area can be a pain at times so that is an A+. When you first enter the restaurant, it looks tiny, a bar area, seating to your right and left, but as they lead you to the back, there's a huge dining area! Comfortably seated at pub tables here and there.
We ordered their soup - which was sweet potato and sour cream that night; two orders of jalapeno poppers; one order of mushroom and goat cheese salad and a calamari appetizer to share. All the food was good - I would say typical of pub style food, nothing fancy but filling and to some extent satisfying. The calamari app was quite large and crispy. For entree, we ordered three prime rib with sweet potato mash and vegetables and one lamb shank with mashed potatoes and vegetables. I will say this about their meals, THEY ARE HUGE. They are of massive proportions so go hungry. We ended up having to pack essentially more than one whole meal. The prime rib was cooked more medium as it was smoked but was also soft and quite tender for medium. I would say that the one downside is that it was a little salty but not unbearably so. My mom's lamb was dry unfortunately, no matter how much sauce she used to cover it up, it seemed slightly overcooked as the meat itself was not tender. She finished about half and just packed the other half home. Desserts were of small proportion - but probably good because we could barely stomach it after the meal. They weren't anything special at all. We also ordered a mini beer flight, not at all expensive and tried four small beers - a great way to get to know their selection before committing to something so you won't hate it!
Overall, if you're looking for a hearty meal that will fill you up and you enjoy pub style food, I would definitely recommend. The waiters and staff there are friendly and try their best. The restaurant is definitely worth coming to try for a night out.
