We had about a 5 minute wait. I LOVE their bloody Mary's and my husband loves their spicy bloody so we each had one of those. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. I loved my salmon toast. I forgot about the hash brown side - they taste fine but I'm just not huge on hash browns so I would have chosen a different side. Since it was my birthday, the waitress brought a small plate with 6 macarons - one with a candle. It was the perfect small treat to polish off our brunch! Delicious caramel and chocolate bite!

I ordered a Margarita. It was excellent! Great taste and nice presentation. My wife gota a glass of wine from their decent wine list, and my brother got a very reasonably priced 7-7. Drinks were great and our food came out quickly. I got the Montreal Beef Sandwich. Tasty brisket with a great combination of flavors. Fries were good. My wife got the Salmon BLT, which was also very good, with great bacon and a nice slab of fish. She got the upcharged Brussels Sprouts for her side and they were also tasty. My brother got the Arnold Palmer Chicken Sandwich, a tea-soaked sandwich that he enjoyed. He got the house chips, and they were also good.

Service has always been friendly for us if a little slow at times. Ask for a refill well in advance if needing it. They have different themed days like a west coast and a trivia night. The real standout here though is the food. I've enjoyed the turkey club a lot. The bacon jam is delicious. And generous portions of turkey, The pub fries are really tasty. The pork belly is to die for. The mushroom and Swiss is a favorite of my spouse. I also really enjoyed their brunch selections. The thick cut French toast is prepared perfectly and delicious. Even the everyday eggs and bacon were satisfying. I've also had their Detroit style pizzas and I'd honestly choose them over 90 percent of pizza places in the area. Give the Copper Boar an opportunity if you like elevated pub food. Especially during their brunch.
