    Wow! First of all, Dutch Courage was beautiful —all decked out for the holiday. I had eggnog—delicious. My husband and daughter’s drinks were great—and my daughter’s drink was lit up by the waiter tableside to infuse it with smoke. Fun! And because it was our daughter’s birthday, we wee surprised with Prosecco, which was a nice touch. Service was so personable. We loved everything about it.

    The cocktails and small plates were super fun and tasty. The patatas bravas and Brussels sprout salad were highlights. Our server seemed to have forgotten about us.

    We always enjoy being at this restaurant. However, the noise level is too high (perhaps do not have music) and it is hard to have a conversion when there are more than 4 people. This was particularly the case for outdoor seating. We are grateful that they were able to accommodate our group to an indoor seating.

    This is a place I usually absolutely love. This experience wasn’t as good as past. The service was way below average. We were sat at the bar and didn’t get a drink for 15 mins, the bartenders were in front of us never acknowledged us or the wait. Once we were asked for drinks orders it was an additional 10-15 mins before getting our drinks. The food wasn’t bad but just wasn’t as good as usual. Again, I love Dutch Courage, one of my favorite places, just wasn’t a great night .

    Wonderful drinks and great food. The food should be a larger quantity or there should be options to order multiple small plates at once. The service was slow but the environment, ambience, and the wait staff were excellent.

    The server was relentlessly annoyed with us, a buser tried to clear plates that we were eating off of, and the host reminded us (and the table next to us) that there were reservations waiting. I’m sorry that I inconvenienced the staff by decided that my wife I should have our anniversary dinner here.

    Loved that there were non alcoholic options!! Only wished they weren’t as expensive as the alcoholic ones though. The ambience of the place was amazing and the staff were great!

    Despite having a reservation for an indoor table, we were asked if we wanted to sit outdoors or at the bar. When we refused, they had us wait at the bar, while they conjured a table at a random corner of the restaurant crammed between 2 people. The food is overpriced and doesn’t do justice to the description on the menu. Extremely underwhelming. The only good thing were the drinks.
