In the end it was a different waitress that gave us our food. And when the bill came there was no discount as an acknowledgement of our poor experience. It will be a long time before we go back.

I ordered the seafood sandwich and I loved it but what honestly I loved most was the humble house side salad which said it all-the carrots were clearly graded fresh and the lettuce and cabbage and cucumbers and tomatoes were all delicious. I complemented the chefs and they came out and proudly told me that they get fresh food six days a week and took pride and telling me how they prepared the meal. When you can take a simple side salad and make it so startlingly fresh and lovely it tells you everything you need to know about a place.

We had the lemon pepper wings, some Baja fish tacos and Maui burger. The fish taco was really good, the fish was flaky and had just enough sauce that it didn't feel dry. The burger was good too but we like the taco more. The wings were crispy and not too tangy ( lemony ). There's lots of parking as it's at one end of a strip mall/Canadian Tire/Oceanside Arena.

In addition to many types of meat pies, they serve a daily soup (was Leek), daily sweet pies (that day, rhubarb), sweet white rolls, and cookies/sweets. It is small (only two tables) but does take out and frozen foods as well. The chicken pie I got was delicious and such a rare comfort food for a quick lunch on the road, that I felt compelled to share! My pie came with a delicious sweet white roll... and I took home a slice of rhubarb! Everything was very very good. Will stop by for a frozen meat pie next time !

Real home style meals. The best thing was I discovered they do frozen take away dinners, and meat pies. Im a single guy and dont like to work too hard on cooking proper meals, but now I buy a few every week for the freezer, and I can have a nice home style dinner, like mom used to make. I like their deserts as well. For those that care, they also have gluten free meals.

We were warmly greeted by the bartender as we sat down, and we ordered a beer and a cider. Their selection is very good, and they also have a full bar. For lunch, my husband ordered the Beef Dip sandwich and he loved it. I had a bite of it and concur. The au jus was especially delicious. I ordered the 1-piece fish 'n' chips and was very happy with my choice. The batter was really tasty and the portion of fish was generous. The house made coleslaw was the best I've had in a long time - not too sweet or over-sauced, with a nice crunch to it. Also, their fries were amazing. I can't speak to dining on the restaurant side or patio, but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks and service in the pub.

Everything was great: fluffy pancakes, perfect eggs and bacon, nice ham -- all the usuals were spot on. Ingredients seem fresh. Coffee wasn't my favourite, but that's subjective. There was a supply delivery that morning so coffee refills were really slow. Maybe it wash just the server that day. Prices were a little on the high side. I mean it was all good but I wouldn't frequent this place if I was a regular. Location wasn't too far out of the new town area. I'd go there again if I was passing through.
