    The loudest restaurant I have ever been in. Friday night around 5pm. So loud it hurt my ears. We left without eating. The staff could not find us a quieter table anywhere in the restaurant.

    This could be a really nice place. The atmosphere really makes you feel like you are in a pub in england. However the food is marginal at best and even poorer in quality if comparing to bar food. Despite being at about 25% capacity on a Saturday night, food took a considerable amount of time, was cold and just not great. I hope the owners work on this and life rekindles and this very cool bar with alot of potential

    We made reservations for four. We were seated immediately. Our waiter, Justin was wonderful. I have a gluten intolerance and they had gluten free buns. I had a cheeseburger but substituted the fries for a salad. They do not have dedicated fryers for gluten free. They did have a cheesecake that was made with a gluten free dessert. The food was delicious. The rest of my party had the shepherds pie, fish and chips and the chicken pot pie. All were delicious. Our server apologized for the wait for the food. We were fine and appreciated just siting for a bit. It is a pub atmosphere and it is March Madness, so it was a little loud, but we enjoyed that too. I highly recommend if you are looking for something unique.

    Everything ended up fine, but even though we had a reservation and there were tables available, the hosts didn’t seem to know where or how to seat our party when we arrived. And even with a reservation, they sat us in the least enjoyable area of the restaurant near the door to the adjoining hotel, so people were constantly walking by our table. Then, it took a while to have our order taken, but that wasn’t the fault of our waitress, she was very kind and patient. The food was delicious and we were able to make it to our show with time to spare. Overall, good experience. We just didn’t understand why having a reservation didn’t actually matter.

    Was so incredibly loud in the back. Sat between several work parties who kept putting their bags around our table and in our extra chairs.

    Overall, the food was delicious. We did the wee pie sampler and the butter chicken. Delicious! The reason I did not give 5 stars on the food was the side of green beans looked like frozen vegetables I buy at the supermarket. our server was patient with my 10-year-old daughter and attentive. Definitely a great place to watch a football game!
