Grub (on Main between 27th and 28th)

Started out with the house bread plate served with parsley hummus, crushed olives, red pepper pate accompanied by a gin martini and a white Riesling. Lady friend had linguine with grilled tilapia served over a cream sauce alongside with grilled BC scallops garnished with parsley and garlic cloves. I, myself, had the pork entree. A grilled (and hefty) serving of pork chop (bone-in) with gai-lan and 3-bean stew. The pork chop was very juicy. Could've been a little more tender but the stew made up for it. Both entrees were delicious. Well done both presentation and taste wise and it came out piping hot. We passed on dessert as we were way too full.

Prices were decent. $8 for the bread plate and about $16/$17 for the entree. I wanted soup but they were sold out early in the evening. The cool part about this place is that the daily specials/entree menu changes everyday so you will never get the same thing twice (or so they say.) The chairs, tables, and interior are very basic and not in-your-face posh nor snobby. Very non-chalant, sit down, shut up, and enjoy your food type of place.

Cons: Long waits. We went on a Friday night so it was expected but it was a 45 minute wait. We didn't mind as we were prepared to wait so we just explored Main Street and its quirky stores. The establishment is small and narrow and they have a strange/childish wallpaper which was neat to look at. Bottom line - you come here to enjoy your food.

Overall: Friendly staff. Awesome un-hipster and unpretentious fare for the price.. Quality is not sacrificed. I'd definitely return. I'd give this place a 9.5/10.
