Meh sums up this experience pretty well.
We have been eying this restaurant for some time, as it's SO close to my place, and who doesn't love pizza? Finally the weather warmed up, so we decided to go and check on the patio.
First mistake: Leafs game. There are a ton of regulars who come here to watch, so if you're not into a bunch of yelling fans, probably choose another night. There are two patios, but as the front one was full, we headed to the back. It is partially covered, but that didn't stop a LOT of people from smoking, which wasn't ideal for me. Alas.
We ordered a drink, an appetizer, and a pizza each, and I have to admit I was slightly disappointed by each of these orders.
Drink: the waitress had the beer list memorized, but she told me they had beers that they didn't actually have, so I had to make my way through a few requests before getting a drink.
Appetizer: jalapeno poppers - definitely the ones bought at a grocery store frozen, which was a bit disappointing. The jalapenos tasted like freezer, and they were served on a weird bed of chopped lettuce. I was definitely disappointed after those.
Pizza: Definitely hand made thin crust, which was great, but there was a bit too much cheese-y greasiness. It didn't taste bad, but with a place that advertises itself as a "pizza pub" I was definitely expecting better.
So, I'm happy I tried it but I won't be back. There are better patios and better pizza just down the street from Brass Taps.
