My first time here, and it was very good. They were busy so service took a little while, but food was worth it. I got the Nashville hot sauce on my chicken, loved it. The turnip greens were delicious. No live music where we sat, but I think they have it in the back room.

We went for Valentine’s Day. They had a special menu. The beef Wellington was outstanding. Finished with croissant beignets with raspberry sauce. Wow. So good. Will definitely be back.

This place is better than good. The food is always to die for. The staff and crowd is always bubbling and busy. I can't recommend this joint enough

I ordered fish n chips and had high hopes with it being a self-proclaimed pub, but unfortunately the breading was burnt and over fried, and the fish was watery and bland inside. I tried pushing past to enjoy it, but it was pretty disappointing. The fries were good, but come on, everyone’s fries should be good at this point.Service was nice and it’s a chill spot, but don’t order the fish n chips. Should’ve gotten a burger

I got sick from their food. I would avoid all their dishes with fish.Wheelchair accessibility: They don't want disabled people in their restaurant. It's sort of discriminatory.
