The Brig Eatery & Pub

After getting a little bit of retail therapy, Chloe and I were looking for a place to eat before we head to the movie theater. We have pretty much exhausted the restaurants in the market, and since we don't particularly feel like going back to any of them for the night, the Brig Pub came to mind.
I didn't actually know the name or what kind of restaurant it was until we got there, but we were pleasantly surprised when we went in. Despite its sketchy outer appearance, it was quite busy inside. Chloe thought it was kind of loud, but liked the rustic decor. The menu was also a nice surprise as it was nothing like a conventional pub menu. It actually serves sashimi-grade Pacific salmon!

Rating on Urbanspoon: 86%


What we ordered:
Chloe: Yucatan Steak Salad

Crystal: Salmon Soba
I was originally skeptical about ordering Japanese food in a pub, but I just couldn't pass up on the chance of getting Pacific salmon. Sashimi-grade Pacific salmon too!
I wasn't exactly disappointed, but I wasn't terribly satisfied either. The soba isn't authentic soba, which is expected, but it wasn't bad. I probably don't want to know how much sesame oil was in the noodles, and I can definitely make the same thing at home myself, but not bad is not bad. The salmon was overcooked and over seasoned though, which is unfortunate. It was fully cooked on the edges and just slightly tender in the middle. Tragic. If it's sashimi-grade, they should just have seared the outside and left the inside rare.
Oh, the soba also came with a bed of greens, which I am not quite sure how to deal with...


Verdict:
75% (?)
Split. Chloe would not return, I wouldn't mind giving it another chance.
