I want to love this place. I really do. The things I do love about it are its energy and its atmosphere. Wait staff does a nice job, and I think the cocktails are above average. The bartenders seem to take pride in their pours.
But the food isn't what it should be for a place like this. It's good, don't get me wrong, but it's definitely not much better than good.
And somethings aren't good, for example I had some oysters on the half shell that I wouldn't recommend.
The brussels sprouts are good, but it seems like everyone has good brussels sprouts these days. Pork belly mac & cheese was OK but not great. The luxury pie was a bright spot. And one genuinely great dessert is their sticky toffee pudding.
I will keep returning here, because I love the energy and the atmosphere and because the food is good enough. But it could be better.
