| - 3.5 I'd say!
Had dinner here tonight and enjoyed my meal! The restaurant is really cool inside, looks like it once was a garage converted restaurant with an industrial-meets-urban look to it. I'd consider the food to be pub food with some elevated items. Price point is decent, a bit high for a regular weekday meal i'd say, however.
I tried their feature fish sandwich which appears to change daily. Today was a grilled Arctic char with a soy or sesame glaze, topped with some coleslaw in a soft burger bun. I enjoyed the sandwich, the flavour was good and the mountain of fries they give you are great, too much for one person though. I wonder if anyone ever finishes those fries! I also shared the calamari and that was decent as well. I enjoyed the Thai chili sauce that came with it. I also tried the chicken strips which were a bit more upscale with the almond breading. These were not bad, however not outstanding in my opinion. I felt as thought every dish was maybe missing or lacking something, nothing was extraordinary to me, unfortunately. I would maybe like to try the Penang curry bowl next time, I saw a few people with that and it looked great.
The service was decent, a bit slow at times which was a bit strange for a Tuesday evening and it wasn't even that busy. Our food took quite a while to come but we weren't in a rush so it was ok. We had upgraded our fries to the truffle fries and that was missing once we got our meal, we let a server know and this was fixed immediately which was good.
The restaurant is a nice big space. Lots of tables and on a nice day, the 'garage' doors were open so a nice breeze was coming in. The restaurant is warmly decorated with lots of dark wood furnishings and retro light fixtures.
I would maybe come again with some friends if they wanted to go but probably wouldn't be rushing out to eat here next time I'm hungry!
