Tonight was our first experience at the Presidents Pub. My husband and I decided to try it out for dinner as we were looking to try a new place. We arrived between 730 and 8 and had no problem being seated right away. I did find it odd that the host stand is all the way in the back of the restaurant but didn't know enough about the area to realize that there is more parking and an entrance back there. Our server came right away to take our drink order and even came back in an appropriate amount of time while we were still deciding. We placed our dinner orders fairly quickly as well. I overheard another server tell the table next to ours if they were planning on ordering dinner to do so fairly quickly as the kitchen was on an approximate 45 minute wait time. I also overheard her say something about glasses being washed. We waited a fairly good amount of time for our cocktails, so much so that we were offered shots of crown royal apple on the house. I have to admit I was a little perturbed that the table next to us who ordered after us got their drinks and food first and they were a party of 4. We did get our appetizer, the poutine in a fairly reasonable amount of time which was the perfect amount of salty and meaty. When we finally did get our meal, salmon for me and the pub burger for my husband, our server apologized for the wait and notified us that her boss wanted to offer us a round of free drinks on the house or comp the ones we already had. I had first ordered an honest abe and my husband had an old fashioned. I let him taste my drink and he really liked it so we both ordered another honest abe on the house. It was very crisp, tart and refreshing. The manager as well as the chef briefly stopped by our table to apologize for our wait which we greatly appreciated. The food and drinks were excellent and the restaurant itself was very charming. We would not hesitate to come back!
