Very enjoyable dinner. The trout was amazing. It was relatively quiet upstairs so we could actually converse, a rarity these days at popular restaurants.

The food was good but it was truly too dark in the restaurant to see it. The service was not good. Server would disappear for long stretches. Didn’t check in to see how everything was.

Had afternoon tea with my wife for her birthday. Enjoyed the bar before getting seated. Bartender was awesome! My wife loved the tea and snacks. All around, we had a great experience for our first visit.

The restaurant gives me vibes of old quaint British pub but the food inside is way better than what you would expect from a British pub. The Rabbit pie, shepherds pie, and Chicken & Duck Liver Parfait are must haves!

My daughter gave me a gift card for Mother’s Day, and we enjoyed a wonderful lunch yesterday. The food was absolutely delicious! The hostess who sat us was so sweet, and our waitress was fabulous. She was able to recommend the whipped ricotta and sourdough appetizer (so good!!), and also gave us a wonderful recommendation on our desserts. My daughter had the fish and chips and they were perfection. I had the brioche french toast and it was heavenly! I can’t wait to go back again. I highly recommend!

Fun experience. Charming place but we found the dog bar room to be a little loud and out of character for a tea. Tea and food were delicious.
