The dinner rolls and crab cake are a must! Cannot go here without getting one or the other. Steak Frites with the butter and the fries with garlic aioli was very addictive. The polenta needed a bit more salt, the braised beef could do without the crumble and could have more beef. The sticky toffee was incredible. The piano playing was good and added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend for a date

Short rib needs to come back. Wasn’t a huge fan of the new calamari on the menu and the 2 seater booth is tight for two giants (6’3”). Either way, I’ll be back next week.

Taylor Swift trivia was better than I even expected! So many amazing details thought of by the staff (friendship bracelets, custom tote bags, cocktails, music, etc). The signature cocktail list was above and beyond in creativity!!
