Friends of ours treated us to a $50 gift certificate to this place since it's a stone's throw away from our house. I've been here a few times for a pint or two on the patio. I haven't had the opportunity to sit inside yet. Bathrooms are pretty nice. Service is decent.
We tried the food for the first time yesterday. I ordered the mac n' cheese and my man ordered the salmon. My mac n cheese was way too salty. I adore salt so for me to say it was way too salty says a lot. According to some other reviews and the table next to us, they give glowing reviews of the mac n' cheese so maybe there was an accident in the kitchen yesterday and a box of salt dropped into the mac n' cheese.
I always feel like a jerk sending food back to the kitchen but I couldn't even eat it. The waitress didn't seem impressed that I was sending it back and she didn't let me know if they were going to take it off the bill or not (they did). They must've used up all the salt for my dish because the salmon was very bland.
Unfortunately, we had to use the entire $50 certificate. They couldn't let us go with the remainder so they gave us two desserts to take away. One was sticky toffee pudding and the other was the chocolate & bailey's tart. The sticky toffee pudding was a bit too rubbery in texture but had a pleasant enough flavour. The chocolate & bailey's tart was very rich and sweet.
Despite our bad experience with the food, I give this place 4 stars because I really like their patio and I like it as a convenient drinking place close to home.
