Maclean Hotel

"We love this place! For the only pub in the area, thank god is a good one. We find it affordable, and good serving sizes. Food is always delicious. Garlic cheesy bread is my fave. Staff is always friendly both at bar and bistro. Our only little issue is we have noticed when we go on busier evenings (holidays, etc.) We noticed the serving sizes and quality suffer. We for example, had dinner there during the week, had Sweet potato fries, big bowl, crispy, fresh, so yum with sauce, cheesy bacon garlic bread, etc. Was top tier. Went on the weekend with other family, ordered the same foods.. Sweet potato fries were soggy, full of oil, and quite honestly half the portion, as in about the size of a side on a plate, not a share entree, forgot our sauce, and the girl we reminded about it seemed as though it was a major inconvenience to get what was forgotten... Cheesy bacon bread, comes in 4 pieces, our 4 pieces seemed to be cut in half from the size of 2 of the 4 pieces we had during the week. We ordered 3x slices of cheesecake. We waited 30 minutes. I asked at the bistro counter, only for the gentleman to grunt then disappear, lucky i assumed he was grabbing our desserts, as he didn't bother to say anything to me about the wait nor the fact he would get it for us... The slices were tiny! Especially for the price. Yummy, yes, but small portion. Similar happens often unfortunately, we now only go during the quiet days and avoid busier periods due to such a difference in service and quality. Its unfortunate, but i can't fault the bistro any other time."
