   We went for a late lunch so it wasn’t too busy. The room is very nice, clean and service was excellent. The menu was rather small and they did not have my 1st choice available. Fish and Chips were delicious. The grilled Caesar Salad was mediocre. The added chicken was spiced with curry (?). Odd to put with a Caesar. Overall we enjoyed but would like to see more choices.

   Lovely. Nice environment like an old English library. The venison scotch egg was adequate, but didn’t really hint at venison (some might appreciate that :-). Unfortunately they were out of the prime rib sandwich, so I selected the chicken tikka masala: hot, fresh, and seasoned just right. The chicken was tender and well prepared. My wife had the shepherds pie and said it was excellent. We finished with the date sticky toffee cake: very nice finish.

   You would think if you ran out of a menu item the first thing your server would say is, “I’m sorry we are all out of the prime rib sandwich”. Nope. He waits till he takes out order and then says oh we always run out of that by lunch time. Really? Noise level is so high you can’t have a conversation.

   Amazing experience, authentic high quality British food, my English father was impressed with the fish and chips and he grew up on London fish shops so that speaks for itself. It’s also the only bar in America I’ve ever seen pornstar martinis on the menu and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Our server was wonderful and the ambiance is perfect as well! Thank you for a great night!

   Excellent Indian British fusion. Very expensive for lunch though. Special occasion definitely.

   Service was super slow and we were one of five groups in the restaurant. Food was pretty good though.

   Food was excellent and came out quick. The date sticky pudding was a great way to end the meal!

    From the moment I walked in and saw the beutiful modern wood bar, to the impeccable service by every staff member we interacted with, to the wonderfully prepared and presented food, everything was wonderful! I do not usually give out 5 stars in all categories, but this establishment deserves it!!
