Went to this restaurant on a weeknight to celebrate a family members birthday. This is not my first experience at this restaurant and the result is always the same. Getting your steak cooked as you requested is hit and miss. This time half of the group of 8 had their steaks cooked as ordered the other half were overdone. My... More

I have been to this restaurant several times(mostly at the request of friends) to be met with disappointment time & time again. The hour long wait standing in line to order far outweighs the poor service & what are essentially average meals. $41 for a chewy steak full of gristle that was ordered (med) & to be honest, no better...

Typical 1800s pub with a sympathetic restoration. Good mix of locals and visitors. Popular for the lunchtime "suits"to do deals. More

(after booking) b) stood in line for over 1/ hr to order -... More
