    We were a table of nurses looking to drink fine quality rum as we have in the past. We had to settle for awful Sailor Jerry or Appletons?? Too sweet. Why can’t you carry a standard bar rail white rum or keep the Eldorado or Havana Club ?? It’s so disappointing when the owners continually ignore the request of we regulars.

    We came in for dinner and after ordering and waiting for a while, we were then told there was a mix-up with our order which resulted in waiting some more. Even though there were approx 20 people in the restaurant, 2 servers plus the manager, the 3 of them walked by our table several times, even asking if we wanted another drink. They did not inform us until some time had gone by about the mix-up with our meal. They did offer us a free dessert for the mix-up and all the time we had to wait.

    this was our first time at this establishment and we enjoyed the whole experience. the quality of the food was great and it was even delicious. I had not had a scotch egg before but had heard it mentioned on some British tv shows and wanted to try one. so off to the pub to scratch one item off of the bucket list. I was not disappointed. we also had the honey wings - very yummy by the way - and the Eton Mess for desert and we loved it as well. Also had the British fries - cooked twice - also went very well with the meal of starters and apps. doesn't seem like it, but we are actually fussy when it comes to restaurant food as it is costly but can be very rewarding if you get a place that puts in the effort and they do. very nice and friendly staff also. good job!

    Authentic British pub experience with great food and even better service. The French Onion Soup and Caesar Salad were outstanding. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are looking forward to going back!
