It's actually 3.5 stars. It's been 50/50 for me lately. First few times we came here was amazing, service was a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. Nice Pub to hang out at during your shift at one of the hospitals or if you want to enjoy a night of trivia. We don't drink, so not sure about the drinking situation but I'm sure they have plenty to satisfy everyone's need.
We were here just for dinner and then it became lunch and then it just became our go-to pub! First few times we ordered the 303 Philly which was delicious - hot and gooey cheese pairing it with sweet potato fries were the best! Can't go wrong with that! You can actually share this and order an appy.
Fast forward a few weeks, we came back and I ordered the pierogies and of course 303 again for the mister. I wasn't aware the perogies would be in a soup-like green chili sauce (I've only eaten them dry). So that was a surprise, but I enjoyed it a lot. I just had to scoop them out of the sauce. It was quite filling and my tummy was happy. I'm really glad that it was just cheese and potato fillings and no onions!
A few other times, we came back for lunch and ordered salads. I usually get the Caesar salad with shrimp and him Black and Blue sirloin salad. The first time was the best time! It was sooooo goood! Everything was to perfection and same with the second time. The presentation was good, the flavor was great, and it satisfied us. However, we recently went and it was a disappointment. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of our first time salads, but this time both our salads were "meh".
I don't know what's missing, but it's missing something. My salad looked really sad - some romaine lettuce and a few sad shrimps on it. I think it was shaved parmesan before, but I'm not certain. It was sprinkled with pizza parmesan =/ The salad tasted so plain. I usually have my dressing on the side and I dip as I go. Honestly, the first 2 times I barely used the dressing because it was so good. The last time, I used almost all the dressing just for some flavor. A few of the shrimps were a bit over cooked as well.
As for the Black and Blue sirloin, he stated that his lettuce were "wet" like it was frozen and it thawed right on his plate. The steak were chewy and luke warm. We both did not finished our salads and just wanted to get out of there. In the middle of wrapping it up, we were planning to go somewhere else to have a real lunch. The service was horrendous that day. I waited at the sign "wait to be seated" for at least 8 minutes. Staff were nowhere to be seen! He had gone to the bathroom and back out finding me still standing there. Even after that, we waited another 5 minutes before someone came out from the kitchen. I don't know if it was that day, but I sure hope it's not everyday with slow service and disappointing food because we love the place. read more
