The Public House

Good deal on happy hour foods. We tried several dishes. Good selection of beers.

First off, the service was bang on. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. The service from the waitress was so good, I would come again. Here is a picture of the wings

Very good food. Server was very good. My friend and I had Burger. My wife had Montreal smoked meat my other friend had T-bone. All where very good.

First time visiting this restaurant.

Our waiter was great - he was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu items.

Presentation of our plates were wonderful too. Big portions and looked very appetizing.

Lost two stars because the food was bland. Sad to say because the dishes have SO much potential and it's one of those places where you want to like the food but can't :(

The burger was massive and looks delicious (see the pic). We thought it was flavourless perhaps because the bun might have been too big for the burger but even with taking the bun off, the burger meat was bland. The condiments (tomatoes, pickles, etc.) tasted fresh but the heart of the dish failed.

Also tried the fish and chips. The cook on the fish was perfect but the fish and/or the breading was not seasoned (at all it seems). The breading is not your typical beer batter breading, which is interesting but if you are going to use a breading like that, you need to season it well so you aren't just eating crispy bits.

We were told that the beef is grass-fed and specially delivered which shows they do value good quality ingredients. Perhaps the chef thinks that because the ingredients are of higher quality, then the meats should stand on its own - however, even a little salt, pepper, or garlic powder would be appreciated to elevate the natural good flavour of the meat(s). Otherwise, the dishes fall flat.

The fries on both plates lost their crisp and were just ok.

Overall, not a terrible experience but definitely need to up their seasoning game. Good service from our friendly waiter what carries the stars for this review.
