| - Don't really understand this place. The first time my husband and I went here we had a pretty good experience. Our server was nice and attentive, the appetizer was delicious (pub spring rolls), and our entrees were very good (I got the turkey rachel). So we decided to return a couple months later, only to have a completely different experience. I'm very understanding of servers b/c my husband and I used to work in the industry, we know that some days just don't go well, it can be busy, etc. But our server just seemed annoyed to be waiting on us and rarely came to the table. It took 15 minutes to get our waters and beers, and then we never again got a water refill. Also our entrees were not good at all. My ham and swiss pub pretzel came with a salad, and it was obvious the lettuce came from Costco and had barely anything else on it, and the dressing tasted like grocery store bought bottled italian. The cooked vegetables that came with my husbands meal were those cubed carrots with peas that you would find in the frozen foods section, and his mashed potatoes were obviously powdered mashed potatoes out of a box. The whole meal was just... meh. Which is very disappointing to us, since the restaurant has so much potential and the decorations are very unique and cool. These are $9-$13 meals and I would say the quality was no where near worth it. After our first visit to The Pub Beachwood my husband and I really wondered why when he talked with his co-workers the following week they were surprised with our good experience and mentioned how they weren't impressed when they went. Now we know. This restaurant is very sporadic. We have a theory that the quality of your meal depends on what you get, and also you don't order anything with vegetables. Stick with the appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, and fries if you want to have a decent meal. We may come back and order the same thing we got our first visit to see how it is. But we'll see if we want to brave it.
