We probably just went at the worst time (st.Patrick day weekend). Noise level super loud and the crowd was a little rough with a man yelling obscenities at the bar while watching a game. That’s expected at a sports bar but that’s not what we were going for. Food was good, our server was great!

Been there for an anniversary, Read that they have piano playing that evening, yet the place we sat we could not see the piano . The noise eas too loud for a conversation, beacuse of people chatting loud, you could barely hear the piano( So it is useless) . Definitely not a romantic place for the evening. The food was good.

The restaurant was not busy and we were trying to have a conversation. The waiter (Daniel) was trying to be helpful but just kept interrupting. It was very intrusive. Then he cleared our plates while we were still eating.

$35 for a hot lobster role sandwich (arrived barely warm) which amounted to probably 4oz of meat and a small side of fries is not good value. I could eat the sandwich with one hand, seemed more like a slider. Staff was friendly but seemed more interested in socializing at the bar than ensuring the timely delivery of orders. Also witnessed who looked to be the manager pick up trash from the front of the restaurant with his bare hands and then touch eating surfaces with his hand inside without washing them. Off putting.

We walked out before even being seated. The volume of the music throughout the restaurant was deafening. We were looking forward to having a pleasant meal there. Why must the music be so loud as to make conversation impossible?

Booked the reservation, because I was in a he mood for Coq au Vin, which was listed on their menu online and on the menu handed to me by the hostess, only to be notified, that it was no longer an option by our waiter. Our waiter Jorge, was wonderful and did everything he could to make our experience a good one. So, on that end, his service was 5 stars. However, my meal came under cooked and when I got it back, only a portion was recooked and the rest of the meal was now cold. The manager, that delivered my meal to me, literally threw it on the table at me and ran off, which was extremely rude. Our waiter had to go let him know that he needed to come back. Not sure what was up with the manager, but he seemed wired and anxious and offered an apology, but it was rushed and seemed forced. Place was very loud and not what was expected. Everyone else enjoyed their meal and again, our waiter was terrific.

Went here for my birthday. We had a reservation and were sat by the front door which was a bit chilly. It was packed and very loud but manageable. Staff are super friendly, attentive and polite. Food was good quality. Enjoyed their raw tuna. Would have liked to see a bit bigger portions for the price. All and all good experience. Will go back but maybe on a Sunday for hopefully a smaller crowd.

Entire visit was wonderful except one minor detail. I couldn't get a draft beer upstairs. It was your house lager and I was really looking forward to trying it. I cant understand why it couldn't be brought up from downstairs.
