Perhaps my judgement is clouded because the airport is a large black hole of good food, service, and at reasonable prices. This place almost seem oasis like.. ALMOST. I came through the airport and lo and behold... plane delay of epic proportions (Thanks to a snowstorm). So I realized my stomach wasn't going to hold out for 5+ hours of no food and so I started my search. Most places contained extremely expensive premade food but Mill Street Brewery offered pub fare, freshly made-ish, and with a smile. Was it affordable? Barely ... but considering a hummus with carrot and celery dip costs $7, it's VERY affordable (in GTAA terms).
I noticed all patrons ordering a multitude of drafts to numb the delay and the staff was just on hopping along with all the orders. They never missed a beat. Kudos to them as the place was packed. Seeing how it was a pub like atmosphere, I ordered the fish and chips.
Thanks to great speedy service, the platter arrived piping hot to the point where I had to eat the fries first because it was so fresh. The fries were fresh too and nicely seasoned with salt. It wasn't too pale and it could have been cooked a little longer but they were good decent fries and it took up about a third of the plate. The 2 pieces of fish was lightly battered and crispy. It wasn't too oily and the meat itself wasn't too thin. It wasn't the best fish and chips I ever had but it's maybe one of the best hot plates dishes I've had in the Toronto airport.
Considering how dreadful GTAA used to be, this is a nice change of pace. I hope more options come through here and not all of it 100% pub food. It'd be nice to see some slightly healthier option that isn't just a chicken caesar salad.
