The tavern burger was cooked nicely and my husband’s fish and chips was great as well. Seems the like the open table reservation system might need some work because staff said they were overbooked and seemed overwhelmed. We originally had a reservation for the piano bar and I received a call two hours prior telling us they could not put us in the piano bar room because of over booking. However they were able to accommodate us later in the night upstairs after dinner. We really enjoyed the drinks in the upstairs piano bar and would recommend it!! Thanks for a great night, all in all it worked out great.

We were lead to an isolated room were we sat by ourselves. We were not offered this option. It was separated from the rest to the restaurant. It was cold and we had to look for our waiter several times for our food and bill. We could not enjoy the beautiful decorations and were very disappointed in our experience.
