The staff and service at Old Man Drew was top level. They were attentive without being over the top. The food was lovely (just wish the tea came earlier and there was more of a selection). The atmosphere is quirky and takes you down memory lane. And the shop is a lovely touch to pick up something unique.

Upon finally being acknowledged after arriving, then seated, we thoroughly started to have a fantastic evening and dinning experience because the cocktails are interesting twists on old favourites, the food is stunning taste sensations and the staff & service friendly and warm. Would wholeheartedly recommend.
