I am not one to normally leave reviews but I was thoroughly surprised this pub had a 4.5 star rating after our experience. Nothing was "terribly" wrong but so many small things continued to stack up against them. We arrived with a reservation and were not acknowledged for 10 minutes or so as staff continued to walk by us on multiple occasions. When acknowledged we were told we had to wait for our table, no big deal. When our table was ready, we were nonchalantly told "we could take a seat", not shown which table and when we asked where they appeared annoyed. The table and seats were wet and gross from being wiped down but not dried. The booth I sat in was connected to the booth behind us and it was like being on a roller coaster, as it moved immensely every time the person behind me moved in their seat. Literally, my drink spilled when I was holding it and the person behind me moved because it jerked the seat so intensely. Our drinks were inconsistent, with salt than no salt, with sugar and then with no sugar, salads were served without dressing. Again all of these things are small, but amount to a lot of mishaps throughout the entire experience.

Server was inattentive. Booth and wall could use a good wipe-down. Food was fine. Don’t think I would go back. I’m sure there are more decent places in the area for brunch.
