Beacon

We came to this place after a day of snowboarding.

For the most part, everything was great here except for one thing.

To start, it got the pornstar martini (peach based drink with a shot of champagne you pour in). This drink was great. Also got a lemon drop.

For appetizers, I got the wings (wings were good, but we had to ask for more sauce. Got the BBQ and something mustard). Also got the poutine (gravy was interesting, but still liked it).

For the main, I got the chicken fingers off the kids menu. I didn’t like them. They were not crispy enough (which is saying something coming from me), and something about them seemed too bland.

Banter Room

So this place is a sorta upscale bar and restaurant.

Cocktails here were pretty good (got a lychee drink, old fashioned and some random lunch, all of which were great).

We also got salute and pepper chicken wings, prawns and pork sliders. All were really good.

Little Skillet

This place is really unique since it is primarily a bar, but has some really good brunch food.

For brunch, I got the breakfast waffle plate (customized to having both eggs scrambled). I liked everything BUT the bacon. The bacon was wayyyy over cooked (not sure if that is what they were going for). Next time I’ll tell them to make the bacon not super crispy. I did however kill my plate (so that says something).

Einstein

This pub I frequented when I was in University. Fortunately, it hasn’t changed for the most part.

We ordered honey garlic wings (they were as big as I remembered), some nachos with chicken, and cheese sticks. The only thing that was off were the cheese sticks (they weren’t mozzarella, but some other cheese).

Also, I got a pint of steins. Almost tasted the same (I thought I could taste the alcohol compared to before. Maybe I’m getting old).
