| - The atmosphere is nice. Not too loud, not bright, not hokey, or overly hipstery. As for the food....
1) Poutine- fries, duck gravy, mozzarella + duck = 9.5 + 5 ( for the duck). I wanted to love this. I wanted it to me the sensual combination of the Great Dane's Poutine and Pig in a Fur Coat's duck fat fries, and while it was good it wasn't quite as good as either of the forementioned. The portions weren't huge and the duck was a little dry and a little scant for the $5 up charge, but fries were quite nice. It was tasty, but not the best in town on either point. Next time I'll likely get the fries alone for $3 and save my 11.50.
2) Mushroom Swiss Burger - 1/3lb beef, sautéed mushroom, swiss, beer mustard, rosemary aoli + sweet potato fries w. Paprika ranch = 10.5 + 2 for the fries. The burger was a little less flavorful and a little more cooked than I'd prefer, but overall it was tasty, especially once I added some horseradish (which was quite good). The sweet potato fries were excellent.
3) Beer - the real reason to come is the beer menu. Which isn't bad and comes in 3 size options. The flight discount leaves something to be desired, but isn't bad either offering .25 off the smallest $2 size when you purchase a selection of 4 or 6 .
Verdict: Not as good as the old fashioned for a meal, but much more convenient. I won't be dreaming of this place, but I'll likely also be back.... at least for a beer and some fries (sweet or non).
