    Service was good, old pub feel nice but food was not as expected . The fish and chips ordered were not great as seemed like oil needs to be changed or it was just over fried. My Royale Benedict was okay… the eggs were cold and the hollandaise was cold and so was the English muffin. After a lapse between appetizer and entrees occurred due to a technical difficulty with system our order was finally entered and the server advised us and apologized for delay and assured us everything would be cooked to order and would be hot (her exact words) and my royale was cold and my son’s omelet was only lukewarm. We weren’t check on soon enough after receiving food and we felt awkward, hungry and time pressed so we just ate our cold food.. We had higher expectations but may try it again in the future. Ambience was nice as were the cocktails and servers were friendly if not timely. Fair experience.

    My favorite place for brunch. Their basic Bloody is spot on. Service is great and they always accommodate my suitcase.

    Never disappoints! We got a bunch of things and shared. The ricotta and the liver pate were particular highlights, as was the trout crudo!!! Delicious!

    Customer service was top notch. Our waitress took care of us and was extremely warm and attentive. My husband and I had the crab croquettes and crudo for appetizers. Croquettes were seasoned very well along with the crudo. Entrees were fish and chips and bangers and mash. Very underwhelming and unseasoned. Dessert was petits box sampler of a bunch of mini desserts, this was pretty good deal.
