| - Through all my Port Credit travels (and for those who've followed my reviews over the past couple of years, you know there have been many PC travels) I've ventured into The Pump House Grille on several occasions. Surprisingly enough this was the first time I had ever actually eaten a meal here.
The PHG is a cool spot in terms of looks, a perfectly circular center bar servicing a small-ish restaurant and bar area. With a new expansion taking over a neighbouring area and a recently expanded and fenced off patio space, the coming summer at the Pump House promises to be a good one.
This is definitely a good local watering hole offering good beer and basic bar drinks (vodka, gin, rye, rum, etc + mix). They also have a weekly Martini special, so I'm hoping that this is an initial forray in to cocktails because if they started doing old school craft cocktails I might become a regular myself!
For my first PHGC meal I went for the Louisiana Salad - baby spinach, tossed in honey Dijon dressing with blackened tiger shrimp, chicken, bacon, tomatoes + red onion. A hefty portion of fresh salad and toppings and the dressing was light and deliciousBUT the chicken and shrimp were so over blackened that I couldn't finish it as it was far too salty.
I'd still return here because I think they have some other amazing items on the menu by the looks of it that I just haven't tried yet. I'll happily adjust this review ocne I have more to base it on, until then, this place stands as A-OK in my books. Until next time...
Eatcrest Out!
