Molly Bloom's Irish Pub, Stratford, ON

After our stroll along the Avon River, Gord and I had supper at Molly Bloom's.

We've been there in the past and it's been hit and miss (the last time was a huge miss).

It was fairly busy and we sat in the front part (it's brighter).

There were lots in the back part

I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich (with no lettuce).  It was good and I'd get it again.

The chicken was big ... and juicy and crunchy!

Gord ordered the Macaroni & Cheese with a side soup (it was chicken potato).  He enjoyed both and would get them again.

We're glad we stopped in for supper as we enjoyed it.  The food was delicious and our server was friendly and took good care of us.  We'll be back!

Actress Dale Dickey was also in the pub having supper ... she was seeing a play this evening.

After The War of 1812, we had supper at Molly Bloom's.  We've been there in the past and liked it.

 There were a few people there.

I ordered a dark rum and Diet Coke ... and got a spiced rum and Diet Coke.  Good thing I like spiced rum.  When I mentioned it to our server, Brieana, she said she knew the difference between dark rum and spiced rum.  Huh?!

Gord ordered Beer Battered Cheese Curds and Pesto Chicken flatbread.

He said the curds were okay ... the batter was good but the cheese didn't have the salty kick it should.   He wouldn't order them again.  He liked the flatbread, though, and would order it again.

I ordered the Garlic Bread Supreme without scallions and medium wings.

Do you see any tomatoes or bacon on the garlic bread?  Neither did I.  When I brought it to Brieana's attention, she said, "Okay" and walked away.  Huh?  And then she charged me $7 for it.  Plus it seemed like it had been sitting around for a while because it was dried out, cold and hard.  The wings weren't great either.  Though a good size, they were overdone and dry.

After we were done our meals, Brieana asked if we wanted dessert.  We said no and she brought us our bill.  The more appropriate thing for her to do would have been to ask if we wanted another drink.  Our exchange with her during our meal, despite the screw-up with my drink and garlic bread, had been pleasant.  So we paid up and left.

Brieana said she had only been there for a week ... I think she needs some training on customer service, like what to do when there is a mistake.  Plus there weren't a lot of people in the pub but it seemed like she wasn't "present" with us ... she was already mentally serving the next tables.

 I won't be rushing back the next time I'm in Stratford.

After seeing Camelot, Gord and I walked to Molly Bloom's for supper.

We'd been there last September and enjoyed it.

Because we didn't get a chance to eat since breakfast, we were starving. We split an order of Garlic Bread with Cheese (garlic brushed bread topped with cheddar, mozzarella and monterey jack cheeses and oven baked).

It was good but at $7, it seems pricey for the small portion.

Gord ordered Crispy Chicken Sandwich (chicken breast coated in a crunchy buttermilk breading. Topped with lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayonnaise) with onion rings.

He said it was good.

I was in a wing mood so ordered 'em hot. I didn't feel like fries so ordered a side of garlic mashed potatoes (I know ... a strange combo but it worked).

Emily was our server and she took great care of us.

The pub was full and busy and had a good vibe.

After we saw Kiss Me, Kate in May, we had stopped for a drink at Molly Bloom's.

We were talking with the owner, Rob. He was such a nice fella that we knew we'd have supper there this time.

It's a cute pub.

We both ordered fish (haddock) and chips.

Despite it looking really really greasy, it didn't taste greasy. It was delicious.

The pub was crowded, I imagine with the before and after theatre crowd.

I'd definitely go back when I go to Stratford again.
