   The fish and chips was not impressive. I am not a large woman and I was left hungry. Cabbage is cheap increase the serving with the fish. Fish didn't look appetizing same shape which makes me question real fish? They was not a lot of flavor to fish. My local pub does a better job. I love the ambience of your restaurant but I would not consider your pub again for a special meal.

   Food order took more than 30 minutes to arrive despite very few early dinner patrons in the restaurant. Beet salad had very few beets, just a lot of lettuce.

   After we were seated, nobody cane to our table for over 25 minutes. We had no waters or anything at the table. Once we had a waitress, we ordered drinks apps and our main meals. Our drinks came 20 minutes later, our apps came an HOUR later and our meals came TWO hours later! Our dishes and dinks piled up on our table as nobody would clear the table. I asked our waitress if she didn’t mind taking the 6 (yes 6) empty cups/glasses off our table…she looked confused so I had to ask again. The food was good, but the service killed it.

   We had the tavern burger which was amazing and was a large portion. Also we got the black and white fries which were amazing and came with a tasty sauce.

   It was amazing like all experiences at any McMenamins, the only thing was the menu was a smaller set menu but that is the only bad

   We like the ambiance here which is primary why we return. Some of the dishes are good but in general the food is not great. Does seem like its getting worse. The booths are also not great for larger people. We made it work but didnt seem like they had many table options.

    Our server, Joseph, was awesome. He let my sister and I enjoy our meal and relax. Food was just about what we wanted!
