| - If you are looking for amazing food and great service in the NW like we were, this is the place!
We came in before the rush around 3pm. Perfect, not too busy. We took a seat on the upper level.
The menu is varied and there is something for everyone here. The food does take awhile to come out but it is worth the wait!
There are quite a few beer on tap and also bottles. I do not even drink beer but I enjoyed an Apricot Wheat Ale just because it sounded so good. OMG, I left this restaurant so full after that beer and the food!
Hubby had a maple whiskey burger that came recommended and he opted for it as the patties are homemade here. (very few items are apparently made from frozen which makes my heart sing!) The burger was very good. I tried it and my only neutral comment would be that I did not taste any whiskey nor maple. Still, a huge sandwich with yummy bacon, ketchup on the side and you can opt for poutine that comes as a side for $2.49 more. Worth it. Yay for Quebec cheese curds!
I normally would go for thin crust pizza but I wanted to try the original dough from the 60's when this recipe was born and I was not disappointed! I got the loaded veg to try and save on SOME calories and wow! Very good - the crust was so buttery and not too thick at all, not doughy one bit. I would get it again.
We wanted to start with the mussels but they were out of those. :( Next time!
After 4pm, the pizzas are 1/2 off on Mondays and then Wed nights are half off bottles of wine. If you cannot finish it, they will cork it and you can bring it home!
Tues nights from 7-10pm, local one man bands are hired to come and play in the upper lounge for some variety.
The atmosphere was good, the place was clean and we enjoyed the alternative rock that was playing.
All in all, a great afternoon that did not break the bank and we will return!
