| - I love brew pubs, and was looking forward to dining at this one. It's a very nice place, very large, inviting, and crowded. Our server was pleasant. We ordered burgers and fish and chips. The food arrived promptly but it was not up to the usual pub food. It was fairly tasteless, under seasoned, greasy (fish) and the bleu cheese burgers didn't have any bleu cheese. I ordered Bennie beer and was very disappointed. The description said it was a dark German lager, very hoppy, caramel overtones. It was watery tasting and almost flat, no overtones let alone caramel ones. When we needed our server to come and get dessert/coffee orders he didn't turn up. We saw him in a group of servers standing right behind us watching the basketball game on TV and chatting with one another, totally ignoring customers. I hate it when that happens as it means the servers are not well-trained and the manager is either tolerating their behavior or just not available to see what was happening. With a crowd like they had, the servers should be hustling, but they were mostly ignoring everything but the TV and each other. They need to try harder in every respect as I think the place has lots of potential but they aren't getting the basics right.
