Great drinks. Super dog friendly. Patio is down a few steps from the street making it nice and private. The Steak and Stilton Tart was really good. Rich crust with lots of meat. Can't go wrong with the burger.

The staff was super friendly and welcoming to our group and when a few people didn't show up it wasn't a huge deal. The food was great I split the duck salad and burger with a friend was the right amount of food. We also shared the pecan pie which the drew axe targets on since it was a ladies axe throwing lunch!

First the beer took a while to come and my bf ordered Guinness and I found a small hair on the foam and the waiter quickly changed it. Towards the end of the night I found a dead bug got into my beer so if you don't want bugs to get into your beer definitely stay indoor. We order poutine for appetizers and it wasn't bad but not amazing either. I ordered a skirt steak and it was good, nicely cooked and tender. Normally the steaks I had was bland but this is nicely salted.

The hosts/servers greeted us personally and we were made to feel very welcome and relaxed at our table with beers delivered quickly. After telling our server that we were part of a bachelor party she made the afternoon extra special for all of us.  I had the steak with frites and others at my table had the burgers or burritos. Every meal was made with an attention to detail that goes far beyond what I would normally expect in a local pub/restaurant. My steak was perfectly prepared and delicately seasoned and the gravy it was served with was an excellent complement. The chef delivered the meals himself and apologized for the delay we experienced in receiving our meals. It does need to be said that this is not the place to dine if you are in a hurry! Our orders did take over an hour to be cooked. This was fine for our party as we were happy to enjoy the atmosphere outside in the beer garden and have a few more drinks. An excellent place to enjoy local food and beers in a warm and welcoming environment.
