    Enjoyed being able to eat out. Their breakfast burrito is really good - and so big each of us took half home with us. It's a small patio and they did their best to make it pleasant. Server was very attentive.

    Overall was good except I didn't expect them to use "eggo" as the waffle for chicken and waffle, chicken tastes good. Server and hostess were both attentative and friendly. Would definitely go back again to try other items.

    Great place if you want to get out of the house. Not thrilled about To-Go containers while dinning in. I expected real plates. Maybe mention it on Open Table.

    This is the second time in as many months that I have dined at this pub. It is a nice pub, with very good food, but both times I have had appalling service. Both times I have been with a small group of friends, both times the food was very good, and both times I was there for 3 hours and had 3 rounds of drinks at the most, because the server would came around every 45 minutes-1 hour. It seems that there are regulars and their servers were at their tables a minimum of every 15 minutes. The most recent experience I had, we were pretty much ignored for over an hour before we finally flagged someone down to get us a 2nd round. We saw the very sweet and friendly busser far more frequently and ended up asking her to help us. I really like this place, but they have to do some decent server training. I was a bartender for years - you can't ignore tables just because you don't know them, especially if you're going to spend most of your time chatting and laughing with other tables that you do. It's borderline offensive. I would love to try this place again, but given the service both times and the amount of great restaurants and bars in the area, I think I'd like to give my business to a place with decent customer service and decent food.

    Macallans is amazing! They're always introducing new items to their menu that are so delicious. Their staple items are top notch. The drinks cannot be beat - they have hundreds of choices and the best mixologists to make new and exciting cocktails for you. When they're allowed to have entertainment, it's awesome! Great bands and duos. The staff always goes above and beyond to make sure you have the best experience.

    We came here for a lunch celebration after my future daughter-in-law's wedding dress shopping trip. It was only one of the only restaurants that took reservations during this Covid-19 time. I was disappointed that we had to sit on the covered patio during a rainy day as there was a private party inside. However, it turn out to be fine. The food was OUTSTANDING! I had the traditional Bangers and Mash which was the best I've had in years. The bottomless champagne was a pleasant surprise too. The service was very slow as the restaurant seemed pretty packed but the servers were very accommodating and kind. Overall a good experience and we will visit this place again.

    Macallans never fails to deliver! The food and drinks can't be beat! The staff is incredible. I couldn't ask for a better place to enjoy a nice meal with friends and family; especially during these strange times. I know we are all safe and protected when we are there; we get to feel "normal" for a change!
