    We were charged extra when we requested a substitute for sides, which I find ridiculous, especially since we were not informed when we ordered. I also think being charged extra for bread at the beginning of the meal is not right. Again, both requests were honored but there was never mention of additional costs.

    We ordered fish and chips which was offered as a special. Both means had seriously undercooked fish. We notified our waitress and the food was sent back. Then we weee served overcooked fish. Terrible meal. We were very disappointed.

    One of our favorite restaurants; a go-to to dine at with friends. The food and cocktails, especially the Pear Martinis, were delicious and the service excellent. We were not rushed and enjoyed a nice leisurely lunch.
