Lion's Brewery
So we decided to check out Lion's Brewery for supper.
Overall we enjoyed it.
The Good
We loved the atmosphere. It feels like a converted wine cellar (or beer cellar perhaps?) It had a very cozy feel, with stone walls, and various old brewing tools, etc. on the walls.
We had the Brie for Two as an appetizer. The brie was cooked perfectly, and came with a pear chutney that had a really interesting flavour. We loved it, and although we both thought we'd had it better elsewhere, this is a rare thing to find, so it's all positive points form us.
Victoria had a fettuccine dish for her main course - it had a very yummy sauce and roasted tomatoes, and from what I tried of it, I thought it was excellent.
The Not-So-Good
Sorry Sinnick, I wasn't a big fan of their pizza. I ordered the Brewer's Pizza, which is basically a meat pizza with bacon, peameal bacon, pepperoni, ham, and different cheeses. It was exceptionally greasy, and reminded me of Pizza Hut pizza. I'm sure some people would really go for it, but for me it wasn't the kind of pizza I enjoy the most. The one part I did like about the pizza was the bacon, which was cooked to a crisp, something that usually doesn't happen.
The Bad
The only thing I can say that was bad was the service, which was extremely slow. The servers looked run off their feet and could not keep up with the business. There was a help wanted sign out front, so I'm guessing they were understaffed.
Overall, we really enjoyed ourselves though, and will probably go back sometime.
