I LOVE the Senator. This is the kind of place that could become my local if I lived anywhere near it. It just has good old fashioned, no nonsense solid food.
I also really like the aeshetic - its nothing fancy by any means, but is somewhat comforting. I came here the other night with a friend before we went to the Royal Alex to see Private Lives (great show if you have a chance to see it). She had the clubhouse sandwich which had a real, thick piece of chicken on it. She said it was great. I had the cumbrae burger as I was feeling in the mood for one. Excellent! It came with sauteed onions and the fries were great. I also had the strawberry milkshake and it was one of the old-fashioned kinds that they serve in the steel cup - fantastic!
We were both too full for dessert, but the pies looked pretty good from what I saw on my way out.
