    Food was good. Really liked some of the items on the menu. Service was however poor. Waiter generally ignored us and really did the bare minimum.

    Food was great. Service was not. We waited a considerable amount of time for just about everything. Ordering, appetizers, mains, drinks. The server didn’t really check on us. We had to flag them down. My daughter was especially disappointed that the canned cider she ordered didn’t come till she was almost done with her fish and chips even though she ate extra slow.

    The food was amazing but the service was terrible. We weren’t greeted for the first 15 minutes we were sitting down. Our server only showed up every 30 minutes or so. We ordered extra bread for our table and it took 45-60 minutes for the bread to show up. The server even told us after we waited 20-30 minutes for him to cash us out that he’d forgotten about us. I’ve been to this location several times and the service has always been exceptional. This has been my only negative experience but it was pretty bad. It’s took 2.5 hours for 3 people to eat because of how little our server showed up.
