Headed to Dominion Square Tavern after it long being on my list of to-do's in Montreal and now I'm left wondering 'what's the fuss all about?'\n\nWe arrived just as they opened on a Saturday afternoon and sat at the bar. The place was empty save for a party of three at the end of the bar. I ordered a Basil Rye while the BF ordered a Canuck. Both cocktails were okay, but nothing spectacular. Most disappointing to me was that these cocktails were rather tiny, yet still managed to lack alcohol!\n\nI decided on the gravlax to start and the beet salad was my main dish while my BF ordered a Scotch egg and his main was bangers and mash.\n\nThe gravlax was good, but my oh my was this a small portion! I guess I understand but honestly, at $13, 4 thin slices of salmon was pretty disappointing. \n\nMy main was a disaster. Okay. Beet salad has NEVER disappointed me before, but this, this was an error in judgement on all levels from presentation to flavour. The beets are in a bowl... like a small diner soup bowl. They are topped with a mix of the base cuts of romaine, with the thick white vein begin the majority of the 'meat', topped still with the palest celery leaves I have ever seen. Crumbled with goat cheese and a ranch vinaigrette. Impossible to eat without everything toppling out of the bowl and onto the bar. But then again, it didn't taste very good, so who cares. With more than half the main left in the bowl, the waiter didn't even blink to ask if it was okay. \n\nThe BF got one Scotch egg for $14. It was good, he liked it. I wasn't a fan. But hey, that's me. His main, the bangers and mash must have been good because I didn't get a bite of it! \n\nWe gave the sticky toffee pudding a go too. Blah. That's not sticky toffee pudding. That is cake with the ingredients for sticky toffee pudding added to some extent to the mix, but that doesn't make it sticky toffee pudding, it makes it sticky toffee pudding flavoured cake. \n\nIf you haven't guessed it yet, I was sorely disappointed by my experience. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was sparse, inattentive and unhelpful. I won't be returning.
