This place had great food and a great atmosphere. My wife an I went on a recent trip and thought we'd give it a try. We sat at the bar which seemed to be our mistake as we are not regulars or friends of the bar tenders because we were rarely checked on and often had to try and get their attention as they were mostly at the other end of the bar. Even when more of their regulars/friends arrived and sat near us we had to interrupt their conversations to get service. It did...

It’s a cute bar/restaurant with charm, but the food falls flat and their specials aren’t really specially priced outside of this immediate area. No real draw to drive here from elsewhere.

I had the shepherds pie and while it was served really pretty… I have to wonder if there is salt or any other seasoning in the kitchen.

The scotch eggs were even bland like the hollandaise they were served on.

Cute little space,...

My family came here for the first time today and will absolutely be back! Our waiter Scott was so nice and personable. The food was delicious with huge portions. We got fish and chips, shepards pie, the reuben sandwich, the Texan burger and the sampler for an appetizer. Everything was phenomenal! Definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone!!
