Review of The Aberdeen Tavern

Pleasant experience with top notch service. Mixed reviews on food from nice to very good, so I am really looking forward to returning to try different dishes on my next visit to Canada. A lot of potential here as it matures. Recommended!

Clean open decor. Only the odd chill from the opening the outside door during winter if you sit near it. The young hostess lacked a little experience, but Jose, the male server was very warm and highly attentive. I glanced up for salt and pepper after just telling Jose that we had everything we wished and another server also jumped in from a distance. All in all, 5 stars for service. From the Sunday Brunch menu, we had the Tostadas Rancheros, Mississippi Eggs Benedict and Short Rib Hash. The Mississippi was raved about and the others were nice, but not exceptional. My Short Rib Hash, served in a mini cast iron skillet was a little lacking of meat and cheese, a little under-seasoned, and the portion was a wee bit wee for 17 dollars. I would have also loved if the homefries were pan fried as opposed to deep fried, but I am being especially picky. The scone with blueberry compote was a hit with the ladies. The filter coffee was fresh but a little over roasted for my taste, but the espresso was good and the server was happy to provide some hot water so I could make my own americano.
