    Overall the experience was good. Wait times for drinks and dirty plates to be cleared were a little longer. The food recommendations we received from our server were great!! I had a beet salad, and pub burger and substituted the house made tots instead of fries. We also got the deviled eggs. My boyfriend got the NY strip steak. Cooked perfectly rare and nicely seasoned. He subbed the horseradish mashed potatoes instead of baked potato. Over good experience.

    We went for happy hour. Every appetizer we had was amazing. The oysters were fabulous as was the pub burger. My cocktail and the wine were great too. You can’t beat the happy hour prices or the exceptional service we had. Our server Jordan was the icing on the cake. She was exceptional!

    It was so expensive but so good. Be prepared to spend at least $100, but otherwise, the service and food are excellent.

    Brunch menu had great options. Food & service were both excellent - chicken and waffles was a great choice but come hungry because it’s a large portion.

    Wonderful experience! Drinks were amazing- the best old fashioned I’ve ever had- and the seafood tower was so fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back!

    Food was good. Really liked some of the items on the menu. Service was however poor. Waiter generally ignored us and really did the bare minimum.

    Food was great. Service was not. We waited a considerable amount of time for just about everything. Ordering, appetizers, mains, drinks. The server didn’t really check on us. We had to flag them down. My daughter was especially disappointed that the canned cider she ordered didn’t come till she was almost done with her fish and chips even though she ate extra slow.
