We were there at 2:50 pm. The grill didn't open back up until 3pm. which we knew. The waitress took our drink order & we received our drinks. At about 3:15 pm. we thought our waitress would come back and take our food order. It was now 3:30 and we saw her wrapping silverware on the other side of the restaurant. My daughter went over and asked if she was going to take our order. She said she was removed from the computer. About 5 minutes later she came and took our order. I don't know how they could forget about 4 of us sitting in a booth with no plates in front of us. There were only about 10 customers in the restaurant.

Reasonable prices and vibe. The kitchen closed an hour and half early. It was clear the staff wanted to head out early, which was understandable for a quieter rainy evening, but it felt a little rushed. I’d give it another chance since the menu looked good!

The waitress was nice but seemed to forget about us. The food was okay, but nothing special that would make us want to come back.

COULDN'T KICK US OUT FAST ENOUGH

The waiter kept revisiting our table, eventually clearing two of the four setting while the rest of us were still eating. It was annoying enough to inspire me to write a review. Half the tables were occupied,, and it was only 6pm. When the waiter returned to our table a few minutes later, we had to ask him if they had any deserts. Even though it was only 6pm, he told as they were out of everything except for vanilla ice cream. We got the message. I'm not sure what was really going on at this place, but we will not be returning.

We came down to GR for a food show and decided to check out this place as it was right down the street from our hotel. Em was our server and she was absolutely amazing. And she made THE BEST smoked old fashioned hands down! Check out this place. We didn’t eat this time but we will be back for sure!

Walked in at 9:30 pm on a Friday night. The place was trashed. There were uncleared tables. We walked to the back to find a clean table. There were six of us looking for drinks and a bite after a concert. It took twenty minutes to get a server to notice us. Food was meh. Drinks ok. The place was sorry and loud.

My girlfriend and I went in for a few cocktails around 6pm today and we sat all the way in the back near the window, The section didn’t seem blocked off when we arrived, and there was a sign at the host stand that said seat yourself. We sat for about 10 minutes and nobody noticed us so I went up to the bar and ordered our drinks and got a few waters. I offered to wait for the drinks, but the bartender said she would bring them out to us. I returned to my seat and then waited another 10 minutes and it was around this Time a waiter approach our table saying
“Oh hey I didn’t even see you back here”
Not a hey or a hello, but greeted as an inconvenience for sitting in the back is what it felt like. I explain I had already ordered the drinks and he persisted. We re-ordered them and he said they weren’t put in the system yet. At this point, we have waited 20 minutes for cocktails, which wasn’t that much of an inconvenience because we were just hanging out socializing. The restaurant didn’t seem busy. We waited another 10 minutes, and then I went to approach the bar and my waiter stopped me and said the bartender was making our drinks right now. I approached the bar and so did my waiter and I explained to the both of them if they didn’t start making my drinks yet I would just leave Because I wasn’t trying to wait any longer. The bartender seem flustered and responded with “ You can leave if you want, it’s not skin of our backs.” I told her I would wait for the drinks which by the way weren’t started at all. I returned to my seat and my girlfriend and I decided to leave it was at that moment walking out that I had seen my drink starting to be made. We will not be back and I don’t recommend this place. The service was atrocious.

Had brunch here twice now. Each time was awesome! I recommend the MacGuff(sp?) sandwich!

Good food. The mixed drinks are served well and the bartenders do a great job, both with their mixing and their attentiveness. Overall, a good atmosphere, but likely better for groups larger than 1-2 people as it's not an intimate setting.

The best kept secret in GR. The food came out fast and it was SO good. Our server was attentive and kind. Their brunches are the best in the city! Very British Pub vibe but with incredible food and good prices!

Service was fine, food was okay. However, my table was harassed after we left by an employee. Would not recommend. Tainted the entire experience. Management was unhelpful to incident.
