| - When the folks come to visit from Woodstock I always feel like I have to impress them by taking them somewhere they've never been. This may not seem like a very big job, but when my mother is involved it is. My mother is a picky, and slightly stubborn, English woman who went to culinary school in England. Right!? When it involves my mother, any food recommendation requires research and reassurance. Thank goodness for Yelp, because it brought me to Georgy Porgy.
I was psyched when I saw the online menu. It was actually readable and it provided prices. I hate when places don't advertise their prices. You never know what you've got yourself into until you sit down and start reading. I always find online menus helpful when you are planning to dine with a picky eater. It definitely helped make my decision.
When I called my parents to tell them I was making reservations my mother said, "Do they have decent beer?" (I'm so my mother's daughter) and my Dad asked "Is it expensive? Cause Daddy's skint!" (skint, meaning "broke", they were on their way back from Christmas shopping).
The place seemed more posh than I expected. All of us were in jeans but we soon realized it was a more relaxed atmosphere then we thought. The waitresses were wearing Lulu Lemon. Jealous!
The bar was impressive. It would be a great place for a party, especially a Christmas party with the dim lighting. It had loads of room and lots of booths! Everyone wants a comfy booth spot. I'm a booth girl but, when it's one of those half booth half stool tables I always give up the comfy side to the person I'm with. Yeah, I'm nice that way. They just don't know I regret it every time.
When it came to ordering a beer I decided to try a pint of Granville Island. Never had it before but I was happy with it. It's almost like a darker Creemore. Mom and Dad got the usual Guinness and Rickards Red, both great beers!
For dinner we all ordered sandwiches. Partly due to that fact that we were all starved and lazy and sandwiches are super satisfying without all the work of an entrée. Oink. I got the California Burger with Sweet Potato fries, the burger came with cheese, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomato, red onion and came on an onion bun...heck yes, nice touch! Mom got the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Dad got the Buffalo Chicken Wrap. The food came promptly and hot. Perfect.
As for the service, the staff was friendly, although they weren't very attentive. The hostess had the personality of a fence post and our waitress did not abide by the two bite rule. These things I can get over, for the most part.
Overall the dining experience was a good one. I was happy, of course, beef and beer! Mom was impressed and Dad's forehead vein did not make a presence when the bill came.
