      Brought the wife to see one of the latest Bar Rescue make overs.
      She had the kiss the fish craft cocktail. Served in the fish glass but the drink didn't hit with us.
      I tried to order a 394 lager but they were out. So settled for a Miller lite.
      For food she had Ahi poke. And I ordered the "beer" cheese nachos and Buffalo wings. The nachos wh were not beer cheese. But simply shredded cheese melted on chips with jalapeno and pickled onion. Really lacked taste. The wings were good.

      The bar was busy but only 1 person for the bar and front of the house. I didn't catch her name but she was hustling.

      They are in a corner of a small shopping centre. There are parking lots right in front of the restaurant

      There was only one young lady waiting and bartending today. She was quite efficient with her service, but the food took quite long to come out.

      Ambiance was a regulars bar type of place. And there was like a reunion party today.
      The poor lady tending to us looked very busy and overwhelmed.

      I ordered a kiss the fish and my hubby ordered a Miller lite. The original beer he wanted was out.
      My drink looked better on pictures and on TV. There was supposed to be garnishes but none in mine. Also nutmeg was way stronger than described in the menu.

      We ordered wings, beer cheese nachos and an ahi poki for me.

      Hubby had buffalo wings and nachos
      And I had the ahi poki.

      Buffalo wings were good. And the nachos lacked a little oomph. I was expecting beer cheese with a lot more flavour. It felt more like regular cheese tossed on the macho chps. But the chips were definitely fresh.

      The ahi poke was pretty good. It had avocado, marinated ahi, grilled pineapple, spring onions and a ramen egg. The ramen egg egg was a little overseasoned. I'm expecting ramen egg to be a little less cooked in the middle. This ramen egg was also over salty- probably marinated and kept in the fridge for long. It tasted strongly of Just soy.

      Overall, we had a good time.

      Food is great and it seems like it may have been newly renovated recently. I went here for lunch with my wife. We live very closeby and never stopped in, and I deeply regret that! We had their fish and chips and corn ribs. Both were excellent. We will be back!

      Dive bar vibes with fancy restaurant prices. We went around 4pm on a weekday and every table was filled with only one girl working! She was a rockstar but totally unfair to expect her to serve the entire restaurant. The food was okay, my drink was served in this fun fish glass. Sticky tables and floors. I'm sure we will be back but it won't be a first choice quite yet.
