    As always the service and food are great. I think what I most like is the personalized attention and because we go here often the staff know what we usually order. We met Ruby for the first time and she was a wonderful server.

    I love going to this restaurant. My friend went for the first time and loved it as well. We were able to take our time and were not rushed. The food as always was great and the portions are generous. Our server Fi is awesome; engaging, personable and always smiling. It’s like being at your best friend’s house for dinner.

    The food and drinks were very tasty but beware, despite the upscale feel it is still a pub and the noise level was higher than we expected. One other thing...they don't take AMEX, as I discovered when I went to pay.
    The Squire on LockeResponded on January 22, 2025
    Hi James, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food and drinks. We strive to create a welcoming atmosphere, though we understand the noise level can sometimes reflect the lively pub vibe. We appreciate your note about AMEX—we’re sorry for any inconvenience and will ensure this information is communicated more clearly. We hope to welcome you back soon!
