12/10 experience! Came for the extensive beer list, which didn’t disappoint, then was blown away by the amazing dishes. The whipped feta dish and the scotch egg dish were phenomenal. The highlight though was dessert … the BEST sticky toffee pudding we have ever had! If you are going to a show at the Queen E, make sure you stop by The Magnet before or after!
Decent selection of draft beers. Ciders were very dry, almost wine like. Charging $1.5 extra per glass of cider in a flight is a choice. Odd portion sizes.. $6.50 ish for a 8 oz glass of beer, enough said. The decor is not very cohesive, feels a bit forced? Very millennial-type atmosphere that’s trying to be upscale. Could be better. Employees were lovely.
Not sure we’re the target demographic (I’m 60) so the fact that the beers were all strong, stronger or strongest (by ABV) and that the wine list was a bit on the ‘in vogue’ end of the spectrum (think skin-contact, orange, ‘crisp acidity’ and ‘minerality’) and these two old fogeys were struggling for a session beer and swiggable wine!
However, the burgers were top-notch - the best we had during 3 weeks in Canada - and the service was super helpful and friendly
