New West BC
Stopped in for a quick bevvie and appy tonight with the express intention of sitting on the patio, which is lovely.
As good as the patio is the Interior sucks. This place used to be part of the prison and they didn’t do enough to make it look otherwise.
We started with a beer and a Caesar.
The beer was beer. As long as it’s cold it’s fine.
The Caesar though put me off. I’m pretty sure it had pickle juice. The flavour of dill was very evident a d it had some little chunks floating In the drink Great way to ruin a Caesar in my opinion.
It wasn’t spicy enough either but you can always add it right? So not the biggest problem. I think from the bartenders point of view serve the drink less spicy and the customer can add more if they want.
Rosemary pork bites for a snack.
Okay I do prefer these over a dry ribs. Unfortunately the breading was a bit too salty and I got zero Rosemary flavour. They were okay, but I never need to have them again.
I was a little put off by the server when we arrived. Okay it’s not a five-star restaurant I don’t expect a gushing welcome like I’m the king of England. But at minimum a smile would be nice.
As long as the beer is cold and there’s a table on the patio for me I’m happy to come back here.
I should probably eat dinner at home first though.
