British Restaurants in Crestview Hills, KY

“This is one of what used to be two restaurants, nearly identical known as The Pub. The other was in Rookwood and closed recently after 25 years. We frequented that every week. This one is very similar in the inside in general, although the specific layout is quite different. One specific difference is the amount of screens; the Rookwood Pub seemed designed to allow you to watch sporting events, so if they had the World Cup on for example, you could watch the game. Most of the seats in the pub in Crestview do not have a view of a screen as far as I can see and the screens are smaller, so if you're not there to view a sporting event, it's less intrusive but it's not where I would go to watch one so it can be a plus some of the time and a minus others. The food menu is basically the same, although the items come across as somewhat different if you were used to the other Pub, probably a difference in chefs. If it's like the other Pub, sometimes they'll have a very good Chef for a while and then they'll get picked up at a greater salary by another restaurant and then there's a new one for a while. The wait staff tends to be young and often comes and goes. The person who waited on us was nice but it didn't feel as personable as some places, especially not like the other pub. As this is in a mall area, the parking is quite easy so that's a plus in its favor.
We will be back, although it's a bit of a trek for us to go down to Kentucky. I think for us the problem was it's like visiting with a brother or sister of a good friend you've lost and it's eerily close to the one you remember, but it isn't the one you remember and so our visit was tinged with a bit of sadness.“
