| - Was in the neighbourhood on a Friday at lunch hour and thought we'd give this a try. Kitty-corner from Jilly's (strip club) the location is a bit of a question mark, but it's on a decent stretch (at least during the daytime) of Queen, with streetcar access, right on the intersection with Broadview.
Interior is standard pub style, they seemed to have an upstairs area too but we opted to sit by the window. Not many patrons at lunch hour. Perhaps at night when the strip club patrons come over they get more? Hmm.. suddenly feeling like I should've washed my hands before leaving..
Food:
- Soup of the day was mussel soup - very nice actually, a smallish portion but the flavour was pleasant, not overly seafoody, and the mussels although small were nice and tender. 4/5.
- Side of dense bread - I'm forgetting already what type of bread this was, but got it with the soup and it was pretty standard, though good for dipping in the soup. Also good with just butter (though the butter was hard - note to restaurant - leave butter at room temp!). 3/5
- Wings with fries - fries were great, but wings? Nope. Overcooked, and not much meat.. The dip they provided was nice, but the wings themselves were a let-down. 4/5 for fries, 1/5 for wings.
Service was prompt, friendly - no issues. Overall an 'ok' experience. Soup was decent, bread was ok, wings were a let-down. I wasn't my usual careful-self about checking what foods were recommended here, so partially my fault - but then I suppose we should rate a restaurant on more than just it's best foods to get a good picture. In our case, it was a spontaneous decision to eat here, so we didn't have the luxury of reading up on reviews prior to coming in.
