| - A group of 7 of us, on the way to see Motown the Musical, decided to hit this place for dinner prior to the show. It's not a place that typically comes to mind as a "Pre Theatre" restaurant, but seeing as how the 7 of us have vastly different tastes, it was an agreed upon option due to its large menu. We figured there would be something for everyone and there was.
There is no denying that: 1) it's definitely a sports bar; 2) the female staff are hired according to point 1; 3) its pub fair; and 4) its a sports bar.
I won't go into specifics on what every person had, so I'll stick to those closest to me and my meal:
Person 1 had the Pad Thai. She asked if it was spicy (as she can't tolerate a lot of heat in her food) and the waitress was bang on in her assessment of heat factor. She even offered to have the kitchen take the heat factor down a notch, but my friend decided to go with the normal heat level. She really liked it. Sitting close by, I can tell you that it smelled amazing....and portion size was fairly large for the price point.
Person 2 ordered the bacon encrusted meatloaf, with mashed potatoes and veggies. She said the meatloaf was good...but the bacon on the bottom was not cooked and was inedible (to be fair, I've cooked bacon encrusted meatloaf at home and experienced the same issue). Its one of the only times I've seen this person leave bacon on their plate and no-one leaves bacon.
I ordered the buffalo strips....they were as expected....good but nothing memorable. A bit low on the heat factor (unlike my friend, I love spicy foods)
We did have an issue with a drink and had to send it back. One of us ordered a Canadian on tap. When it arrived it had this odd thing floating in it......so we scooped it out with a fork. Without going into too much detail, it appeared to be mucus spit (the kind you have when you're coughing up a bad cold). Disclaimer alert - I'm not saying it WAS spit, but everyone at the table agreed that it LOOKED like spit. We called over the waitress who took the beer back without question (we didn't tell her what was wrong with it...just that something was floating in it).
Our waitress was great. She knew the menu and chatted with us prior to our leaving about how she needs to get out and see some of the theatre in the area. As an added bonus, when she discovered we were going to see a Mirvish production, the entire table got a 15% reduction off the bill...courtesy of the Mirvish Company. Great idea.
Would I go back? Maybe....but with so many options in the area, it'll be a toss up. Just won't order a beer on tap.
