    Thanks to the team who worked on Christmas to serve us wayfaring strangers. The fish & chips were great (thanks for the extra tartar sauce!), my mother loved her cod with the white rabbit sauce, and we both really enjoyed our ginger-basil-lime spritzers.

    We love going to McMenamins Elks Temple for Christmas, which is good because few places are open. Best to order simple dishes. The curried vegetable bowl was groupie. But the roasted chicken I ordered added was perfect. My husband was happy with the cod. The apple walnut cake was rich & nutty.

    I have been here a few times and this time I decided to try the pub again and old hangout since it was tray Xmas day and it would t be so busy. I had blackened salmon salad that morning and the fish was a bit too salty. Ordering extra Caesar dressing helped but still too salty. Later went down to Old Hangout and ordered the Tokyo Tots and pork belly was dry and flavorless and tots tasted like they were fried in old oil.overall I enjoy the vibe and space and the drinks are great at all bats, however majority of the food (that’s not bar food aka burgers, sandwiches, & wings) isn’t really good/flavors do not compliment one another. I recommend having low bar for food and enjoy the drinks and atmosphere!

    I was very disappointed in this visit as we brought friends to the place to show it off for our holiday lunch. The service was poor, food was disappointing and much like other visits if the pub has more than 25% capacity, the service experience falls short. They just do not scale well with a large flux of customers or on busy days period.

    Great ambiance and good food. Under staffed, so while the server was attentive, food came out slowly, so get a drink and allow extra time.
