"Aesthetically this is a nice looking beer market/pub. Interior decor is subtle but relevant and all together the atmosphere is relaxing with sports on and brew signage. I like the concept but as any new establishment will admit the kinks haven't been ironed out fully here yet... Service was green. There looked to be only two ladies and one barman at the time we entered (12:30-1:00 pm) and from what I could see eight occupied tables. I do not know if there was a manager present at the time. We ordered beer but it did take the server an unnecessary amount of time to see us for the drink order - understandably because she had taken a couple payments as we sat and had tables to clean. But she cleaned the tables and made us watch her while we were thirsty so I think training here would be wise.We asked for recommendations for appetizers and settled on pickles. They came the size of a hot dog IN a bun. The batter was so thick they actually made me less hungry when I looked at them. We ate one each for good sportsmanship and asked her to take them away from the table because..well...need I say more? The tomato bisque was the best part since the steak sandwich was a sad thin strip of Alberta beef? we can only hope... To make the experience worse we were made to pay for the terrible deep-fried pickles. Maybe I am picky but I wouldn't recommend eating here. At least not until they work on presentation and customer satisfaction. Also noticed there is no automated door for wheelchair access. Some things to think about..."
