| - Hit up National on a busy, jam packed Friday night. Place is huge and they have long communal tables for people to eat and meet each other. They also have a ping pong table and two foosball tables in the back! For free - WHAT.
Anyways, I met up with my sis and a few of her friends and they ordered a couple things:
- Fish tacos ($16) - grilled fish with cabbage, pico de gallo, coleslaw and fries. These were fresh and my sis really liked everything.
- Traditional poutine ($10) - comes with chicken gravy dips and fresh curds on your poutine. I'm not a big poutine fan but they were your average poutine you get in good 'ol Alberta.
- National cobb salad ($16) - crab (fake crab that is), bacon, egg, avocado, radish, tomato and blue cheese dressing. So the story is we actually ordered roaster beet and arugula salad but our waitress brought out the wrong one. Place was way too busy so we didn't get it changed (first mistake). The salad was BAD. Blue cheese dressing was overpowering and worst of all, it was smothered in so much dressing that it made the salad unbearable to eat. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
So lesson learned - don't get the salad, stick with the tacos looked good. I cleraly took one for the team by eating that salad. Stick to drinking here and I think you'll be fine.
