    The service and food were amazing. Everything was on-point from the moment we arrived to when we left. The beef Wellington and salmon stake were perfect. The only suggest I have is to turn down the music a tad as I couldn't hear half of what my wife was saying. Otherwise, the ambiance and decor were great as well. The bread served at the beginning of the meal was so flavorful and delicious.

    We went there for Mother’s Day brunch and the service was simply horrible. Food was late, incomplete and didn’t taste that good. The ambiance is poor - the restaurant has very bad lighting overall. Won’t be going back

    Steak was surprisingly good. Halibut was not bad. Other than these two, appetizers and cocktails were very very basic and also lack of creativity. Not worth the hype unfortunately.

    Great place to catch up with some friends and really be able to hear each other. The dining spaces are intimate, with high ceilings and an array of arty photographs that give a modern edge to the classic decor. Each of us loved every dish we ordered. Save room for Baked Alaska for dessert. The presentation is as memorable as the taste and texture of the dish itself. Stopping at the bar for a drink beforehand is also a good idea.

    The service was terrible and the food was cold once we received it. There was a patron watching and talking on his phone with the volume high and the staff just let this continue. Very disappointed.

    I love the space and the food was delicious. The service needs improvement and it seems as though there isn’t a clear standard of procedure. When serving the beautiful plate of baked goods it’s probably best to give everyone a side dish. The coffee service came without spoons and the requested milk leaving the coffee cold by the time it arrived. The full English breakfast did not come with fried bread as advertised although the toast was good to the plates it made it to. Additionally when serving dry toast, it should come with butter. The first juice ordered came fresh squeezed and the second order of it came in a different glass with ice and tasted different. The staff are very eager to please but need some direction and training.

    Fairly limited menu with smaller than expected portions for the price. Staff was polite and attentive but food took a very long time to come out (the kitchen got backup up with only 3 tables dining). Overall, just ok - probably a bit overhyped.

    Candidly it was just okay! Overpriced for just decent taste and very small portions. Service while she was very nice she made us feel very rushed to order. Cocktails were very well done. I’d go for drinks but maybe not the sit dinner.

    Great place for small gathering. Staff was attentive and invisible while being visible, which is always a good thing. The Shellfish Platter was great for the table. Coquilles Saint Jacques deliciously melts in your mouth and the Strip steak was enough to take home leftover. The Baked Alaska was amazing and Spotted dick was good but was a bit dry.

    Went for my anniversary dinner and had a wonderful experience. The food was not only great, but I was very impressed with the service. They took our coats and leftovers (from the starter) to a “coat check” for us to grab after our meal which was very nice. The ambiance was beautiful as well, the framed photos on the wall are very lovely. Overall a nice place for a romantic meal or a nicer meal for business meetings.

    Celebrated 30th birthdays with my friend. The restaurant made a point about it when we entered and left but our server didn’t acknowledge it at all. When I told the host when leaving he didn’t react, which is weird since he asked how the birthday dinner was on our way out. Tuna carpaccio and beef Wellington were delicious. $7 fountain Diet Coke was the worst one I’ve ever had, which my friend agreed. I hated the Mac and cheese but my friend did enjoy it. We were hotel guests which is the main reason we dined, but since it was a staycation I would honestly say I wouldn’t return here given the overall experience.

    Food was AMAZING! Rich, delicious flavors. We especially enjoyed the Berkshire pork porterhouse, beef Wellington, and the mac and cheese. And the “After 8” mint chocolate baked Alaska is a show-stopper. Service was warm and attentive. Ambiance is comfortable and cozy with a lot of dark wood and the feel of an upscale English pub. Loved it and will definitely be back!

    We waited 30 minutes for the table, but the service was good, the staff did everything in time during dinner. The food is deliciously prepared, the oysters are a little sweet but very fresh. A little disliked that as a compliment for the fact that we waited long for the table brought a dish with meat, although I do not eat meat at all, the fence to ask about it. There's billiards, which is really fun and you want to stay and play, have fun. Overall the place is good and tasty food with good service, will come again.

    Maybe it was just what I ordered but the food was under seasoned / under salted. I got the lemon poached fish as my entree. Service was also a bit overbearing; the waitress, while sweet, kept trying to engage in lengthy conversation even after I told her I was there with my out of town guests trying to reconnect. She couldn’t take a hint. Would not recommend.
