Pint + Jigger - CLOSED

This is in the space of the old Kochi Restaurant next to Jimbo. I came for the food but my friends came for beer. If you're a fan of beer, I highly recommend checking this place out. They have a lot of beers on tap. The food is really good but it's pricey and the portions are small. The pigs in a blanket, crab cakes and scotch egg were my top picks. Remember to dunk your pig in a blanket into the homemade ketchup because it's the best ketchup ever.

Maple Garden - CLOSED

This is your typical Chinese restaurant. My guess is the staff here are all family because everyone just wore their own clothes. We had reservations for dinner but there was a huge party happening in the front dining area so we were seated in the back. There were about 6 tables in the back and the atmosphere was very quiet.

The food is okay. No dish had caught my eye but I really didn't like the Peking Duck. The staff doesn't put the duck skin into the bun with the hoisin sauce, you have to do it yourself. The duck itself had bones in it. There were only 4-5 pieces that was actually suitable for putting into the bun. The ones who had a piece of bone in their duck was struggling. It totally ruined the dish. I don't think I'd dine here again.
