Our Local Pub: the Ironworks

I took this photo last night after we went to our local pub for supper. It's in an old ironworks mill located on the river between two sets of falls. We had just had our first big snowfall; the pub's Christmas tree was decorated and lit (you can see it in the window). We both had their fish and chips which come with a very tasty coleslaw made from red cabbage with a lemon dressing. The food is very good here. Mike often sees the chef/owner at the butcher shop. Other favourites on the menu are: hamburger with maple-infused crispy bacon (Lanark County being the maple syrup capital of Ontario), steak, mixed green salad with crispy leeks, quesadillas, sweet-potato fries, roasted chicken, chili...

How nice to come back from working in the city to a cozy meal by the window at the water with a view of the town Christmas lights reflected many times, have good food and wine, for $50 including taxes and a 20% tip.
