Great service, food and ambiance. Our group thought it was too dark to read the menu and we ended up using phone flashlights.

Your cooks need to learn how to make steak! My rare steak was like a tough piece of leather. It wasn’t even close to rare. Pizza was bland. Nice ambiance - excellent server. Food needs work

The restaurant is very dark depending on what table you are seated at. Everyone at my table had to pull out their phone flashlight to read the menu. Menu is a bit misleading in some cases. One item that is said to have come with a salad was really only a garnish of 3 radishes. Food also was fairly bland in some cases. Pizza however was a winner. Service was okay. They double checked with the kitchen about the above question RE:salad but afterwards never really touched base with us. We probably would have had another drink before the theatre but we ended up sitting with our finished meals in front of us waiting for a fairly long period of time and so we cashed out and moved along. Overall it’s a cool space and will be in the back pocket if I need an upscale pub vibe but not going to be at the top of my list to return.

Food is excellent. Cocktails are top notch. We found it VERY noisy at dinner time (5-7pm). It was difficult to carry a conversation over our small table of 3 people.

Order the chicken salad. Chicken was a generous portion and salad was ok. Problem was chicken was not cooked thoroughly. I had a couple of pieces before I realized. They took it back and provided a replacement. Unfortunately now my stomach has been upset since. Raw chicken is no joke and food safety must be assured as far as I'm concerned. Not impressed.
