   Always a pleasure! We all had pickerel, delicious! Loved the way it was on top of the medley of foods, equally delicious! :(Seated in the front, first table, was very noisy and the event didn’t help!

   The cosmopolitan was perfect! Also reasonably priced wine options. Food and service were excellent and we requested and received a nice table!

   Have been a few times so I do know what to expect. Waitress was excellent. Caesar salad and steak tartar was EXCELLENT but took over 25 mins to be delivered. Main courses of shepherds pie was honestly really disappointing. Lacked veggies and was very greasy. Chicken Korma was okay. Very expensive meal and left feeling main courses were a big let down.

   The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and professional. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and cozy, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. However, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations, especially for the price. The prime rib was slightly overcooked, and the Yorkshire pudding was on the dry side. The veggies were well-prepared, the escargot was decent, but nothing standout. Surprisingly, the fries ended up being the highlight of the meal—crispy, well-seasoned, and delicious. Overall, while the ambiance and service were great, the food didn’t quite justify the cost. I’d consider returning, but I’d likely try something different on the menu.
