| - Mostly we went here to try it since it was new and we had a coupon for a free appetizer (you get one for subscribing to their emails). They are very busy since they are new here in Pickering (mall outbuilding) and the parking lot was a mess. It is very poorly laid out which led to cars blocking the way and making it difficult to navigate. Once we got in, there was a crowd waiting for tables so we had a few minutes to wait, but only maybe 10 minutes so not that bad. It was around 5pm but they were packed so the noise level was quite high, to the point you couldn't tell what song was playing just the thud of the beat. It took a while to get out drinks (ice water) but not much long to get our app, the PD Nachos. This is a $14 plate of nachos that is mostly chips with a fair bit of cheese on top and a sprinkling of tomato, green onion, and jalapenos with tiny side bowls of salsa and sour cream. The ration of chips to toppings was way off with way too many plain chips left over after you had finished the toppings.
For my main I got the BBBLT sandwich which came with fries. This was stupposed to be a triple bacon sandwich with peameal bacon, prosciutto, and applewood smoked bacon along with the lettuce and tomato. While you got a decent amount of the lettuce and tomato, you got two small pieces of peameal bacon which covered the bottom of the bun, a tiny thin slice of fried prosciutto not even big enough to cover more than half the sandwich, and one strip of applewood smoked bacon. One strip? The main taste of the sandwich was ham because of the peameal with very little taste of bacon since even torn in half you can't cover much a sandwich with one slice. This was a $15 sandwich but wasn't worth it. The fry portion was quite small but since we had the nachos I didn't mind. The sandwich also came with a dill pickle slice and a whole sweet gherkin on top of the sandwich.
While it wasn't bad it wasn't good enough to tempt me back with the high prices and underwhelming food. Especially with two very similar but better restaurants (Moxies and Jack Astors) on the same property.
