"I am a big fan of Ad Lib. I enjoy both the Merchant City branch and the Hope Street branch. They often have an offer on Itison for a burger, sandwich, or salad for two people, which I take advantage of frequently. I recently discovered that they have an app with daily rotating offers. I have tried the classic burger, lamb burger, and chicken burger, all of which were delicious. The Cobb salad is also very filling. During my last visit, I tried the chicken, bacon, and tomato sandwich with a pint of Shipyard APA. Although my meal was good, it wasn't up to the usual standard. The ciabatta was tough, the sandwich dressing lacked flavor, and the chargrilled chicken was slightly overpowering. The salad dressing was too salty. The fries were great, but I would avoid this menu option in the future. Despite this, it won't stop me from returning as the overall experience is usually excellent. I recommend trying something off the daily specials board for a treat. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, great staff, and good music that isn't too loud. Although my last meal was disappointing, I would usually give them 5 out of 5 stars. I will stick to 4 for now, but hopefully, my next visit will be able to change that."
