I have visited on many occasions and have never seen any men staff other than the cook and anyone over the age of 30 working there. Some of the staff like to flirt with men even though they are with someone female and they are busy dashing outside to have smokes with patrons. This is annoying behavior to say the least. The food is excellent and service is generally okay. How about hiring some men us women can ogle and ones preferably over the age of 30. In this economy you would think there would be men eager to work at such places.

We shared an appetizer - Mini Yorkies which were delicious. We also had the Flatbread Mediterranean Pizza - good and the Classic Burger which I was told was very good as well. The garden salad as a side was fresh with lots of veggies. One word of caution: if the server asks you if you want yam fries instead of regular fries be prepared to pay extra as well if you ask for an extra sauce such as the chipotle sauce you will pay extra for it. But all in all is was a good place to eat.

It 's not in a pub neighbourhood where you would be expecting to see a top notch pub and that adds even an additional appeal. Is it top notch? Well, that, my friends, depends entirely what you are looking for. I feel like I need to say 'pub ' some more. Pub. The Food: Pretty darn alright! Keep in mind, this is a British pub and the Brits aren 't exactly known for their cuisine. That said, if you 're looking for some badass bangers and mash, there aren 't many spots that can rival it. Sausages, or bangers if you will, mashed potatoes with gravy and those mushy, mushy British peas. I freakin ' love these peas! It might be a nostalgia throwback to the less than satisfactory culinary practices of my parents during my youth, but I love these things! Dark, olive green in colour, mushy beyond reality, yet delicious beyond belief. For the most part, it 's pretty standard pub fare with an english flare. Sassy servers: This place has ladies with attitude. Short skirts, and enough feistiness to make sure that you never take notice. Fiddler 's Courtyard had a host of regulars that the lovely ladies working here entertain, but still very much keep control of. They have booths and a good bar for sitting at all by your lonesome, Trivia on TV it 's great for starting up a convo with you bar neighbour. The beer selection focuses strongly on the mainstream beers of the world. Carlsberg, Stella, Guinness, Boddingtons ' and so on. I 've been to the Fiddler 's Courtyard for everything from the evening pint and chit chat, to a beer before breakfast, yet after the Canadian Gold Medal Olympic game. It 's a pub the way a pub should be. Nothing less and nothing more.

However, I did get the deep fried pickles, the chicken cesar wrap and fries. The deep fried pickles I had are some of the best that i have had from a bar because the battering on the pickles was nice and light and the dip that came with them was amazing!! There was horseradish in it and I do not like spicy but it tasted almost like horseradish mixed with sweet mayo so it was a sweetened spicy combination and it was amazing!! I asked the waitress what it was but she did not know so that is what I am guessing it was because that is what it tasted like. The chicken cesar was regular it was average so I will need to go here again sometime to try more to get a better opinion.
