   We were there 20min ahead of our table reservation time, and had to stand outside in the rain. It would have been nice to at least be let in. Food quality was surprisingly off as breakfast is an easy one. Servers didn’t seem all that thrilled to be there was just a general takeaway. The big screen and drinks were good.

   The food was tasteless and inedible. Over half the food menu was “sold out” and the drink that I ordered “couldn’t be made”. Very unimpressed. Would not recommend or eat here again.

   Service was horrible. Asked who was serving us multiple times and no one knew for almost 45mins. The blonde server who was working close the the bar was extremely rude. Wouldn’t take orders for us because she wasn’t ‘our server’. I’ve been in the service industry for 10 years and know that’s not true. Atmosphere was great other than that.

   Food was nice we both had the classic burger and shared the dumplings. The service was nice - it was pub service as expected. Not excessive just what was needed. It’s a pub and has that smell of a pub that’s had booze lost on the floor. Was a Sunday night and was slow so quiet. NB the pub is owned by the same people who own Brass Fish Tavern. If you go to their sites the menu is pretty much the same so if you want the same food in a more laid back environment with (I thought) better service then go here.

   Got put in a corner that was shoe horned into the end of the upper level… no character that was apparent in the rest of the restaurant… had reservations and wasn’t busy when we arrived. Quite disappointing… food was ok. Wouldn’t go again unless patio was open.

    The Canucks game was SO loud it felt like being at a club. The commercials were even louder than the game - genuinely painful on the ears. It was so loud the sound was smeared so you couldn’t actually hear it well anyway. Forget trying to talk to the person beside you. Usually I love the Lamplighter - probably my favourite spot in town! Great food, great staff, great vibe - but sitting through that game last night was painful.
