Decided to have pub food on Thursday. Stopped in at Mulligans. It was late midday so there was…read morelots of seating. We chatted with the cook for a while since it is one of our go to places. Service was good to start but became very slow as the waiting was chatting with the guys at the bar. Just one other couple and the 2 guys at the bar. Food was good but waited a while for a second drink after finally waving the waitress over (which I was reluctant to do). Irish coffee was basic and had to ask for the whipped cream. Price points are decent. We love their sticky toffee pudding but had appetizers so we will have to return for that another day.

I had lunch here today. Approximately around 12 pm. Not very busy and table for 2 took about…read more25mins. Ordered the Reuben which I was told was 6oz. Find it hard to believe the 3 slices of meat were 6oz. More like 3oz. Sauerkraut was average. Smallest Reuben I have ever had to date. Disappointed. Fries with the poutine were dry. Curds ok. Gravy was good. Wife had the burger which she enjoyed. I sampled it, cook was good and meat was on point. She did not finish it. I believe the server was the owner, and she took my criticism with a smile. She offered to redo the plate due to my criticism but because the service took to long, I wasn't giving up the plate. Too hungry. Burger and Reuben $38.00 because we upgraded to poutine and yam fries. $3.00 extra each for upgrade. I would visit again but service was slooooow. Looks like a good place for a beer. But nothing special.

Location/Service Stumbled upon this place while doing a day…read moretrip. This spot is right by the river with patio setup in the summer. Inside is very big and can accommodate large groups (best to reserve in advance). You can also sit by the bar if you like. Typical bar and grill setup - I like the little pieces of decor to spruce up the vibe. Staff were very nice, I'd really like the bartender who gave recommendations for first timers and explain the menu. Food Menu has a lot of typical bar & grill items, but with a Newfoundland twists since it's Newfoundland style. So definitely try dishes that are more known on the east end - like Newfie Fries, Lobsters, Cod au Gratin, Newfie Steak Dinner. The steak is a maple leaf bologna and not you're typical meat - more of the saltier and drier side. Newfie fries is a type of dressing that uses bread crumbs and yellow onions - again more of the saltier side, but it matches quite well with gravy as a poutine. Food pricing overall is very standard and not overly expensive. Portion sizes were very generous, had to pack it to go. Overall a good find if you're in the neighbourhood and traveling, great to explore and learn more about Newfoundland food.

Dinner here on a Thursday night, a small crowd at the bar, relaxed, chatting with one another and…read morethe bartender. I chose to sit at the last booth to be away from the chatter. Each booth has a little tv screen on the wall set to CP24. Good entertainment :) The light at the booth was comfortable, I think it's brighter now in the restaurant? I had the pie of the day which is a steak and mushroom pie with Guinness gravy ($12). Salad or fries come with it. It was a good pie, pastry was flaky and tasty. Filling was rich. Kids' meal was a good value at $7.50 that comes with a drink and ice-cream. The Shepherd's Pie was a good size! The pie was tasty too, I'll order that for myself next time. A friend had the French Onion soup. Maybe the regular cook was away but the soup came with a thin slice of cheese on top, half melted away, instead of the generous, puffy cheese with a nice brown crust on it that I had on my first visit here. 3.5 stars for the meal and service. 4 stars if the presentation had been better ;)

The restaurant is located in a historic building and is tastefully decorated. As soon as I entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted bonjourno! It felt like I was going to experience eating in a restaurant in Italy. My husband ordered the white anchovies appetizer and I, the aracini. Both these were throughly enjoyed. He had the rigatoni for his main and I, the bolognese. He had much higher expectations & said that he's had more flavorful guanciale before. He did like that the pasta was cooked a perfect al dente. My bolognese was delicious. The cook on the pasta was perfect as well & the ragu was some of the best I've had. We did both note that our pasta dishes was a bit on the salty side. My friend who had the same main as me mentioned this as well. These are minor things that can be easily corrected. Some other things I noticed was when our server refilled my glass of water, some of the water ended up on the table & she just left it instead of wiping it up. Also, my friend had the gnocchi which comes with mussels still in the shell & she wasn't given an empty bowl to discard of the eaten mussels shells so it just ended right back into the dish she was eating out of. I really appreciated being gifted a small bag of the strozzapreti to take home. I did enjoy the food enough to come back again.

I found it funny cause almost every item has the "favourite" symbol but everything tastes good! I love the decor inside. Lots of lights, florals and greenery. There is limited seating though since it gets busy - Maybe 10 tables of 4 on the outside perimeter and another 5 tables of 4 on the inside. We got the razor clams, 12 wings and beer special (after 8:30pm), smoked beet and pig ear salad, brisket and ribs and bun bo hue. The 12 wings and beer would have been such a good deal except the drink was pretty watered down. We brought it up to the waitress so hopefully they change that in the future. The wings were crispy,m and delicious. The razor clams tasted good too, but it only comes with 4. The smoked beet and pig eat salad was one of our favourites! Unique, flavourful and good crunchy textured. The brisket and ribs were another favourite. Tender and flavourful. The bun bo hue was good too. Service could have been better. One of the waiters wasn't that friendly. We still had a good time though and enjoyed the food. I would come back to try their other dishes.

I've been constantly going back to this place for a goood 2 years now. These are my thoughts: 1. Drinks are not watered down. They serve good stuff 2. Atmosphere is always popping- if you enjoy the throwback playlist, this is where you'll hear it all night. 3. The staff is the reason I go back. Theyre actually amazing. It doesn't feel like I'm going out to some random place for drinks, it feels more like I'm going to a friends place for good food, drinks, and company. They treat you like friends basically! 4. Washroom is always clean 5. They got dart machines and karaoke.

Menu is a tad over priced, but I can't deny it tastes good. Not overly salty or oily as bar food often is, and I actually really enjoyed their pasta. It's definitely a great place to go for a bit of a splurgy night with friends where you're prepared to pay $20-40 per person. I like it for a date night to have some heavier foods that I wouldn't want to try cooking at home. The short rib pappardelle was the best. I love the flavour and it's not too crazy heavy, even though it looks really creamy. It has very beef stew type vibes. The chicken wings were well cooked and still moist. I think it was too much flavour going on though. You LOVE the first and even second wing. But by the third one, I felt like it was getting too heavy. I know though that a lot of people love that and can't get enough of it. I personally don't like too much of any one thing. The brussel sprouts I felt the same. It's really yum for the first few bites but it gets really heavy after a while. I think it's really fun to have the appetizers and share a main with someone. The foods are a bit heavier, more of a flavour bomb, but everything is executed well and the staff are really nice! We've even done take out and the portions were very much the same.
