The Queen and Beaver is an English pub. It looks more like a well-decorated living room than a pub. Then again, I haven't been to very many pubs. But it doesn't matter. This place is classy and quaint, and has pretty decent food and wonderful service.
I came for lunch with three co-workers last Tuesday, and the first floor was packed. Thankfully, we had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server was quick to come by to fill our glasses and to explain the menu and specials to us. I ordered the wild mushroom pithivier -- puff pastry with scalloped potatoes and mushrooms in between. Three of my favorite things! It tasted really rich and delicious, but was a little too greasy. But it came with a side salad so I told myself that it all balanced out. One of my co-workers ordered the lamb curry (which he has eaten here before) but ended up having to get something else because it was too spicy. Our server was really friendly and apologetic about it, and took it off our bill, which I thought was nice. I'd give the food 3.5 stars and 4 stars for the service and ambience. Not sure if I would be back just because I'm not a huge fan of pub food and I think it's a little expensive, but this is definitely a good option for a business casual lunch!
