| - Walked in on a Friday night at 11pm and the first thing I saw are 2-3 tables piled high with eaten wings, empty bottles, and all types of used utensils. No server in sight. When we indicated that we wanted a particular table, the bartender came out and cleaned it for us, indicating how busy they are. The place was barely half full so...sure? I guess.
Don't get me wrong, the service was very polite, but when you've been sitting for at least 30 minutes, staring at tables full of greasy dishes and small mountains of chicken bones, you question the operational efficiency and overall hygiene of the restaurant. Eventually, they did clean it up but it wasn't until halfway through our visit.
The food was your typical bar food. We came here for one reason, and one reason only. GAR PAR FRIES (or gar par poutine is what it's called in the menu, but there's no gravy or cheese curds so don't be fooled). It was really simple stuff, just fries smothered in white garlic sauce and sprinkled with parmesan. Others got wings, which I heard were alright.
However, never ever order the garden salad as a side for anything. Ever. It is the worst salad I have ever come across. It was DROWNED in some sort of weird brown vinaigrette (maybe, can't tell), and piled with cheese. The sauce made the crunchy bits soggy and the cheese became a brown mush. In a quest to have something healthy along with the wings and fries, the sad salad remained barely touched in a corner of the plate.
Overall, very meh. There are much better options out there for bar food. If you're in the area, it'll do, but if there's something closer, don't hesitate to go to that instead. The hunt for good gar par fries in the area continues.
