A
literal
hole-in-the-wall
dark
heavy
wood
pub.
A
long
bar
and
a
couple
of
tables.
The
service
was
spectacular
with
friendly
and
attentive
staff.
Sadly,
the
food
didn't
quite
live
up
to
that.
The
poutine
with
pork
belly
comes
in
appetizer
or
entree
size.
The
fries
were
thick
fresh
cut.
The
pork
belly
was
tender
and
scrumptious.
The
cheese
curds
were
a
delicious
compliment.
Sadly,
I
found
the
gravy
a
disappointment.
It
tasted
as
though
someone
diluted
a
demiglaze
concentrate.
It
lacked
the
complexity
and
richness
of
a
beef
gravy
made
from
slow
roasting.
It
was
one
note
and
not
a
compliment
to
the
other
ingredients.
Fish
&
Chips.
I
order
this
everywhere.
An
English
pub,
I
saw
it
and
didn't
even
keep
reading.
What
came
was
an
absolute
unit
of
beautifully
fried
white
fish.
On
a
bed
of
fresh
cut
chips.
On
the
side,
mushy
peas
and
tarter
sauce.
This
time,
the
fries/chips
were
a
touch
under
cooked
but
well
seasoned.
The
fish
was
an
ideal
doneness-
tender,
flaky,
and
moist.
I
use
malted
vinegar
for
the
fish.
The
breading
came
off
easily
but
I
think
that's
the
nature
of
frying
wet
items.
I
use
tarter
sauce
for
my
fries/chips.
I
didn't
care
for
this
one.
Mustard
is
a
pretty
standard
ingredient
in
tarter
sauce.
This
one
used
a
whole
grain
mustard.
I
found
it
overwhelming
bitter
and
so
mustard-y
that
I
couldn't
eat
it.
Sadly
I
couldn't
get
that
bitterness
out
of
my
mouth
afterward.
I
would
give
this
place
another
try
but
I
left
much
less
wow'd
than
expected
from
other
reviews.
Side
Note:
I
didn't
order
an
alcoholic
drink
but
the
table
next
to
me
had
many
pints
of
Guinness.
They
seemed
pleased
and
the
pints
had
nice
but
not
excessive
heads.
