I booked a reservation for a date night, and we ordered some wine and the burrata appetizer, which was great. Things went downhill around the time that our food arrived because our server left the premises, and the meal was served by the bartender. After that, we were an afterthought. The vegan chili was bland. We wanted to order more wine or cocktails and had planned to order dessert. Instead, we had to wave down the bartender from our table for the bill, which was awkward, and we quickly left after paying. I might return by myself for the decent food, but I wouldn't trust this place for a special date night again.

One of my favorite restaurants. I particularly love the shepherd's pie and the steak and guinness pie. Every meal I've had here I've enjoyed. Sometimes there's really nice live music at a comfortable volume. In good weather the outdoor seating is great as well.

Warm environment. Good wait staff. Good menu. The fish and chips are my favorite. Good mac and cheese. Considering inflation not very high prices.

I liked the space. It reminded me of an old fashioned Tavern. I didn't try any food because I had read on line that they had Shrimp Scampi and that's what I had in mind to eat. They have a good happy hour. The bartender was nice. I might go back at some point and try their food.

It's hit or miss at this restaurant depending on what you order. Some things they do really well (i.e. brunch and bar food) and others (i.e. steak night) they don't. I recently tried the strip steak and asked for it to be cooked medium. Unfortunately I had to send it back bc it was closer to well done, which is something I rarely do. The 2nd steak was cooked to medium but it lacked flavor. It was pretty bland. The sides were really good though. The service here is almost always slow and I have looked for staff to get assistance. The location and the indoor/outdoor dining options are great though.

I like their chicken salad sandwich . Roomy pub has outdoor sidewalk seating too, which is nice in this quiet tree lined neighborhood. Nice big windows make it open and appealing. I would go here for lunch when I worked in the neighborhood. I always got the chicken salad sandwich, add swiss. The fries are bangin, shoestring. Always hot and fresh. Service is quick and friendly.

Bougie vibes but foods seemed very mediocre with a pretty high price. If you’re looking for good food, there’s probably other better options in sunnyside (so many). It was bland and very basic (especially their pastas!)
