Mount Forest Tavern

First time out. We had read the article about the executive chef that had bought the place so we figured we would give it a try. We went on a Thursday evening figuring that would be a good pub night. The bar was disappointingly out of ciders and vodka. Started with the calamari. It was bland and under seasoned. I had the fish and chips. The piece was a good size but almost burnt on the outside and wet and under cooked on the inside. Not enjoyable. Fries were not anything special though they were pumped up in the article we read. My partner had the MoFo burger. It was strongly over seasoned with something and poorly cooked and cool. It was basically dry with a poor attempt at crispy onions on it and some lettuce. No bacon jam or at least we couldn’t taste it. Basically inedible. Service was great. She was trying hard to make up for the gaps at the bar and was very apologetic. We didn’t get her name but she gets the star. Super disappointed with the Tavern. We were looking forward to a good pub with some good food that we could walk to so both of us could drink. We won’t be back.

The food here was outstanding. Tons of flavour and big portions. You don’t find that very often anymore. We were so full but kept eating because we didn’t want to leave a drop.The staff were very friendly and helpful as well.

We waited over an hour for our meal. We're told it takes time when the food is prepared from fresh.Veggies were from frozen. How long does it take to cook a few pieces of liver from fresh?? Server was very apologetic. Will not return.

A little fun and great food . Family lunch or later bar food either way I’ve never been disappointed here . The Greek salad and flat breads are my favourite but the chef is always trying to bring something new with themes and music I highly suggest trying out this local bar and restaurant. It’s been a rough couple of years support local independent business like this and enjoy a burger made with quality or have some drinks on the patio this spring .

I phoned in a take out order, they said 30 minutes. I've been sitting inside for over an hour along with 2 other people waiting. This is my first experience here and definitely my last. Awful
