| - I walked in with some friends during their trivia night. Fortunately, we were able to find a table NOT in the trivia area, since with one of the group being in town only for the evening, we wanted to be able to chat. The fact that this table was inches from the kitchen was uninspiring, but that's the choice we had - noisy, or high-traffic.
The first thing on the menu that appealed to me was the Mac&Cheese. I'm Kosher, though, and don't eat bacon, so asked if it could come without. Nope - it's cooked in. I'm a tad surprised they don't have an option for no bacon, but there you have it. Waitress, very sweet and peppy and keeps calling all the women at our table "honey" and "darling," recommends I get the vegetarian grillbread. I didn't feel like it, and ordered the veggie burger instead.
Five minutes later, she comes back and informs us that they're out of veggie burgers. At this point it's fish & chips or grillbread, or watch my friends eat dinner, so I go with the grillbread. It wasn't bad. Not spectacular, but eminently edible if you don't eat meat or shellfish and don't want to just be a spectator at the meal.
One of my friends got the Poutine, which she found tasted... off. Burnt, almost. We recognize it has a Guinness base, but she said it tasted unpleasant.
Don't remember what the third member of our party got, but it was also of the "better than enh, but not stellar" variety.
Waitress was VERY nice and friendly, a tad pushy with her opinions about what I should order but in a way that probably goes REALLY well with straight male customers. Service was fairly speedy, prices reasonable, and two points for being presented with "can we get separate bills" *after* the meal and managing without blinking.
