Interesting place across the street from Taps Fish House and Brewery in the Dos Lagos shopping center in Corona. Menu looked great, unfortunately everyone's food was subpar in general and just very poor for a gastropub. Pastrami sandwich was chewy and dry, goat cheese/onion flatbread had raw dough taste and the caramelized onions tasted like water. Shepherds pie was bland, the poutine explosion was a bit much and wasn't really enjoyed.
The tap list was surprisingly good with a good dose of California beers: Karl Strauss, Port, Lost Abbey, Alesmith, Bootleggers, Packinghouse, Manzanita, Weins..and then a handful of German and Belgian stuff. Also had GI Sophie Paradisi on which was a surprise. Sampler flights available.
Service was quick but a little too much with the fanfare/entertainment portion that grew annoying. Clean atmosphere that has a semi steam-punk feel but not thoroughly drawn out.
Interesting place, the only problem is the food was a major letdown to the point where I'm actually shocked they have not fired the chef or at least taught him how to use salt and make things like bread, pizza, and caramelized onions.
Value is low because for similar money I could go to The Salted Pig in Riverside, which is an actual gastropub.
We will NEVER come back!! After attending an outdoor concert at Dos Lagos tonight, we went to have a drink and some food. We waited for 10 minutes before we had any acknowledgment. Once our drink orders were taken, it took 20 min to get the drinks. We ordered a salad, margherita flat bread and shepard's pie. The salad and flat bread arrived after 25 minutes and the shepard's pie arrived after an additional 20 minutes. It took 3 requests and 45 minutes to get requested glasses of water and we were told we had to wait for clean glasses. There 127 varieties of bottled beer on the menu and the waitress told us none of the 127 bottled beers were available because they only get deliveries once a month. She stated that since July 4th they have not had availability of bottled beer and suggested ordering draft beer. We tried to order a glass of wine and we were told that was not available. Very slow service. Food was quality was ok but the lack of customer service negatively impacted the entire experience.
