My wife and I were visiting San Francisco for our wedding anniversary and made last-minute reservations here. We had a great experience. Molly was our server and did a really good job, as did everyone else. The food was really, really good. So were the drinks. We will definitely return!

The waiters worked disorganized. They didn’t communicate each other. They took our desert menus incorrectly. Instead of confirming with us, they assumed what we wanted to eat. There is room to improve the service.

We were there for thanksgiving dinner. The food was really disappointing. The stuffing was the worst, it was just seasoned soaked bread. Have to say the pecan pie and pumpkin pie were good. And for starter we had stake tartare that was also good, but their Thanksgiving menu was FAIL.

Ambiance and decor is super unique, feels like an upscale British countryside manor, but service and food is slightly lacking (B- as a school grade). Would come back and sit at bar for a light bite and cocktail.

Favorite choice of our to dine before a show at The Warfield. Oysters are always a good choice, salads are great, brussel sprout chips worth it, deviled eggs, fish and chips, great burger, mushroom tart was exceptional as was the tomato tart, great mashed potatoes - the roasted chicken was a tad too salty, but otherwise good. Nice wine, beer, and cocktail selection. The place is solid. Nice service in a good setting. Sometimes they are slow, but they do get slammed as can happen.

Unfortunately this is our third bad experience in a row. We loved this place when it opened but the last few years it seems to have lost its way. The menu used to be high style pub food, now it seems hodge podge without any sort of identity, certainly not British. The food and cocktails are good if a little uninspired from dish to dish, but the biggest disappointment is the lack of personality or vibe. The staff seems very unhappy and aloof, it was hard to tell who was our server and who was just delivering food. Zero personality or connection to make it even remotely special, and for the prices there charging you should expect to be treated at least a bit more attentively. It just very lackluster and dull right now, as if they’re having real management issues. The gentleman at the door who greeted us and sat us at our table was the nicest part of the entire meal, a real gentleman. I wish I could recommend this place as we used to really love it, but they’ve just lost their way. And for the love of Pete please bring the lamb scrumpets back!!

After we were served, the service was a bit oversolicitous. They knew we had a show to go to at 7:30, but they began eagerly clearing any plate shortly after 6 pm. Different servers were doing this. One would come by and ask if they could clear an empty dish, then a few minutes later someone else would ask if another dish (not yet empty) was ready to be cleared. Then we were asked if we wanted our dirty plates cleared before our last new dish had been brought. Then they dropped off serving utensils. Then cleared another dish the moment it was empty. It began to feel a little oppressive. And again we were not in any danger of missing our show. We arrived comfortably early. It was odd. We’ve been here before and didn’t have this experience, and we’ll likely come back but I hope the service gets a little less urgent.

I went during the coronavirus panic in SF so the restaurant was pretty empty with only one other party there. The food was really good, as was the service--but the environment was a little awkward and the service was a little too attentive. I'd definitely go again as I really enjoyed the food, especially since they can't control the panic around an outbreak.

Had dinner at The Cavalier recently with my daughter. It was overall an enjoyable experience, and it is a place I will go back to for dinner. The staff were very pleasant, although there were some delays in getting orders (the table next to ours, which ordered after we did, got their entries before we did). The ambiance is great, however, and we did not mind waiting. The food was good, albeit a little pricey, but it is San Francisco.
