| - This place is like a bad first date. I think this location is doomed to have utter failures, or at least terrible disappointments, of restaurants. This place looks exactly like the Tilted Kilt which was before it and the Bow and Arrow which was before it. They did nothing but take it over and make crappy food and hire shitty waitresses.
We went to this pub for my birthday. We seated ourselves, and ordered.
Here is what was wrong:
The service was abysmal. The waitress must have been new to everything. She didn't tell us exactly what the specials were, she had no idea how to take a drink order, she did not deliver our drinks before our appetizers arrived, she took forever to bring us the bill.
The food. The appetizer, chicken wings, were actually good. Our mains, well, here is a big problem. I don't eat pork. The waitress did not say that the stuffed chicken that they had on special was wrapped in bacon, however she felt it very important to tell me twice that it had a white wine sauce.
I though that it tasted a bit off, but I thought that was because I went from the chicken wing flavour to a white wine flavour. Nope. It was off because it was something i never eat. I stopped eating, but since I had shared some with my partner (to see if he thought it was strange), too much was eaten for me to send it back. (Not that the waitress was anywhere to be seen). By the way, the white wine sauce was actually a thick cream white wine sauce that coated the entire piece of meat wrapped in pig, that covered the pig and made the whole thing just look like a regular piece of chicken with a few sauce lumps on it. I also asked for extra vegetables with this dish and no potatoes. They loaded on some par-cooked carrots and turnips, not really what I was looking for.
My partner got the steak and fries (it was menu - low grade stead and standard fries). The ketchup that was delivered to our table was unopened and still had the interior safety lid on it. We removed this one, and the one on the ketchup of the table next to us. The waitress had no idea how to get the protective cover off the ketchup (or that there was a protective cover on ketchup).
We did not order dessert because by this time I was so fed up with the service and the terrible food I just wanted to leave.
Whatever place takes this bar over with the Wallace fails will not get my business. I am so put off by this place. Don't waste your time or your money.
