Notes: We'd never visited this particular establishment before, having visited previous restaurants in this location, but never Brewdebakers, as it conjures up images of beer-battered fish and only beer-battered fish (which, to be fair, is on the menu, but is far from the only item on, uh, tap). Because nothing in particular jumped out at us, we took advantage of the the three-course menu, which was a decent value compared to the regular cost of the mains alone. The food was...also decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but good enough. The Great White North Burger was ok, the Chicken Caesar was ok, the sweet potato fries were also ok, and the desserts were small but also ok. All in all, it was nothing special, but nothing terrible either. The service was pretty good and the waiter was kind enough to put our doggie bag behind the bar when we accidentally left it behind - nice touch. We're not in a hurry to rush back, but we won't avoid it all cost, either.
