Very nice pub
Good pub for meeting friends and having drinks. The food leaves a lot to be desired though. The menu is wayyyyy too big. It’s obvious that a lot of what’s served is just frozen food thrown in a deep fryer or oven. In my opinion, this place would be a lot better if they cut their food menu down by 75%.
The food is good & servers are great. One of my fav there is de buffalo cesare salad
Good friendly service and food. Great menu selections. Love the patio.
This place was dirty, they squeezed us in the patio in a table under the spider webs, it was dusty and rusty and no one cleaned it. I asked the server to clean it, she grabbed a napkin and just carelessly dusted the table off whole it was still gross and dirty. The menu was just as old as the theme of the place. We ordered 2 drinks which were meh.
We asked for the check and we were told the machine didn’t work in the patio so we had to go back inside to pay.
So nothing really worked!
So overall, never go there. Crappy place.
Shame the location is really nice
Nice neighborhood pub...
Fun local place with very good food. Great for large groups - excellent service even for large groups.

I’ve been here twice in the past six months with basically the same experience each time, and won’t plan on returning. One time was for lunch and today was brunch.
TLDR: service can be slow, and the food is middle of the road fine. If you want to have beer and wings this is probably your spot. The vibes are good for an English pub but the food is just underwhelming.
For today’s brunch it was quite busy with some open tables and it looked like 3 staff. It took almost 10 minutes for our server to come to our table, so we just ordered drinks and food together. The food itself took another 45 minutes to arrive.
The food itself is fine, seems to be a lot of prepared food and generally fine tasting. The temperatures on my dish (the English breakfast) varied, with things either being piping hot or cold. My partners brunch was also fine, but he said the hollandaise was bland.
It does seem like we arrived after a rush, but it also seems like when a rush happened tables weren’t held so the kitchen wasn’t staggered. It did take almost an hour for our food, but the table beside us that came in 10 minutes later got their maybe after 20 minutes, though they waited a very long time to order. So I think your experience, service-wise, can vary. We did wait almost an hour for food the other time we visited here, though.

Yup, five stars across the board. If you're looking for a quaint traditional style pub, this one's for you. The staff is amazing and will actually help you with making your very important food choices. My wife loves liver (yuck) and she said it was cooked to perfection. I had the (fall off the bone) pork rib special and it was amazing! No complaints back here and as good old Arnie used to say: "I'll be back!".

Went in at around 5:30pm for dinner. Restaurant did not look busy but it took a long time to be seated. We again waited at the table for 15+ minutes to get our orders taken but no waiter ever came to serve us so we left.
