   Our server was very attentive as well as the rest of the staff. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Their recommendations were great! Easy parking and no crowds.

   Beautiful restaurant, for sure. The food was delicious. We had the scotch egg (kinda too spicy for me, personally), the Caesar and the fish & chips. Loved the fish & chips. Huge portion, super tasty. French fries were good, too. The four stars is because the service was super slow. Waited awhile for our food. Too much time between apps & entree. Will probably go back because the fish & chips were fire.

   Lizzie, I'm happy to hear the menu offerings were delicious. I am so sorry to hear about slow service, we certainly strive for timely, genuine and kind service so I'm bummed this was not the case and will be eager to touch base with the necessary team members. Can't wait to have you back again and ensure service that meets expectations.

   Best fish and chips I’ve ever had, and the stone fruit sour is an excellent cocktail

    Unfortunately we dined the same evening that the restaurant rented out their front patio to a private party. The noise level from the live music (sliding doors were wide open) interrupted what should have been a lovely, quiet dining experience. Food was good but I see that the smashed pea concoction is still on the menu, lentils on my salmon plate were undercooked and flavorless. The lemon scones were a hit with the table as were the fish&chips. Would I go back? Well, yes, but I won’t order the salmon plate and I would definitely get a substitution for the peas. ;)

    Hi Karen, I'm sorry this was your experience! With the holiday season ending, the restaurant is sure to be a bit quieter so I definitely encourage coming back! Thank you for your feedback on the Salmon plate, I will absolutely pass it along to the kitchen team and I'm sorry this didn't meet expectations. I'd love to welcome you back into the space and I'm sure we can find offerings that exceed expectations! I'm pleased the service and ambiance were standouts :) Thanks again Brooke Chief of Staff
