We haven't been here in a few years, and we were excited to see it's improved in so many ways! Still a charming, classic English cottage atmosphere, with solid wines by the glass and great beer options. We both loved our cocktails, Queen Bee and Golden Wreath, and the prime rib dinner truly delivered.. Chocolate souffle was perfect. Tm, our server, was fantastic. We'll be back soon!

Fantastic service, great food. Only issue is that the noise level can be a little high once the restaurant fills. I am not sure how they can given the acoustics. We were also in the atrium - wonderful setting but I guess you have to put up with the acoustics. Despite the fairly busy restaurant, the servers, bar tenders etc. really do a wonderful job making you feel welcome.
