I was excited that a new pub opened close to U of T, but after dining here for lunch today I surely won't be back.
I came here with a friend for a "quicK" lunch just after 12. We ordered quickly and thought that 45 minutes would be enough time to eat and get back to school. Our drinks came quickly, but the food took longer than I'd expected, given our that what we ordered was pretty basic, and because there were maybe 2 other tables occupied in the entire restaurant. I didn't think it would take 20 minutes to fry up some chicken wings, prepare a chicken wrap, and toss up a salad.
The food was fine -- nothing bad to report but nothing to write home about. What killed it for me though was the price. What I thought would be a small quick lunch came to over $50!
-Friend's Beer -$7.25 -- (sounds steep for students!),
-2 Cokes - $2.50 each
-Half-Portioned Wrap with Side Salad - $8.49 (although they unknowingly charged me an extra dollar for a salad, even though on the menu it was written as a side option)
-California Salad - $12.99
-1lb Wings - $10.99 (These were ridiculous. 6 wings for $11. Are you serious?)
I was pretty shocked. I'm a student, and I expect lunch to cost between $10 and $15, not $25 each. For $25 you could get WAY better value for your money. This was absurd.
Sure, the place is new and clean and quite beautiful inside, but I sure as hell won't be back.
