I recently visited this cozy little pub with a friend, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. Despite its small size, the place has a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Our waiter, David, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, which added a personal touch to our evening. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone looking for a relaxed and enjoyable time. Highly recommended!

Alright. As a service industry professional, my experience here really frustrated me. To start, my party of 3 came in on a slow Wednesday night. We were one of three tables, with one person sitting at the bar. When we came in, both the server and the cook were leaning on the bar on their phones. Fine, it's a slow night, maybe all side duties were done. But after waiting a moment I had to greet them myself, and ask if we were okay to seat ourselves. No one said anything, both just looked up, so we grabbed a booth. Our server came over shortly after and gave us menus. We placed our order and my drink was dropped off. After some time, the drink was finished, and I ended up needing to go to the bar to order it myself because our table was not checked on. The second drink was dropped off in a reasonable time frame, but the food took a long time (30+ minutes) despite us being one of two tables with food. One item was, I assume, rung in as an appetizer, but it was meant to come with the rest as it was for one person, who clarified that upon ordering. The first dish also sat in the window and was cold upon arrival. The server was distracted by her phone and what I assume was a friend at the bar. After 40 minutes or so, the rest of the food came. The food was tasty and the portions were generous, but again, there were no checks, and we had to ask again for a replenishment of condiments. Waters were not refilled once finished. Our experience was soured by the lack of attentiveness from our server and we left disappointed and frustrated. Overall, the food was good, but the service was incredibly lacking and we don't plan to come back, despite living locally and having visited before. We may order takeout in the future but don't look forward to another dine-in after our experience.

The drink selection was fine, but I wish there were more options. We tried a few food items, and while they were decent, nothing really stood out. It’s a good spot if you’re looking for a casual place to hang out, but I left hoping for a bit more from the overall experience. I might consider returning, but I wouldn’t rush back.

Went tonight to sit on the patio for a drink. Lovely Victoria (one of the many amazing servers) hosted us. I decided to take food to-go....ribs and wings (served with fresh corn bread, fries, coleslaw and veg sticks/dip). Holy. Wasn't expecting how good this would be. My taste buds are singing. Thank you for your hospitality and this delicious tasty meal. We are lucky to have you in the neighborhood. Please don't ever change🙂

My first time here, and unfortunately, it was the worst experience. I chose this place because a friend recommended it for a casual meeting. The day was nice but cold; however, inside the bar was freezing cold all the time. Prices were normal for a Bar & Grill. However, the reason I am making this review is because of this awful experience during our dining. My friend asked for the soda options, and the lady gave us two choices: a can or direct from the machine (both the same price, around $3.75, with no refill). We chose a can. I was facing the entrance, but my friend had a view of the whole bar and saw how the lady opened the cans (we didn’t ask for that) and poured the drink into two glasses full of ice. She filled up one glass and half of the other with just one can. When she opened the second can, she only poured a little and kept the other (almost full) can of soda for herself! When she brought the drinks to the table, my friend asked her (in a funny way) if that was all the drink. She got nervous and said, “yes, this is from the can, not the machine, blah, blah,” and left. After that, everything was uncomfortable, but being an introvert and tired, we decided not to complain and just eat. At some point, she asked if we wanted a soda refill, and my friend thought, ‘Oh, maybe she is going to give us the rest of the drink,’ but she said, "This is extra, not free." When we asked for the bill, we requested separate bills (one drink each and shared food). She tried to make us pay for one plate each. When we said no, it took her 8 minutes to do the math and bring us back the machine to pay. While my friend was paying, she left for another 8 minutes, so I ended up adding my share myself in the machine and leaving. (At this point I was considering not to pay, but I am not that kind of person) I feel this is the worst experience I have ever had. The place was empty when we arrived, so there was no excuse for all this. She was just talking with a guy while the kitchen guy was always working. I’m not coming back and I’m going to look for a refund, sorry not sorry :(
