After checking out the Willoughby area, we decided this place had a very nice feel to it looking from the outside and decided to check it out. It's seems like one of those gastro-pub place with good food and good beer selection.
Unfortunately, the food was not up to our standard. The service was also really slow that day. We waited for about 15 minutes after we ordered for their bread to come out. And then another maybe 25 minutes for the food to come out. This is probably one of the slowest service.
My boyfriend ordered their aged steak and I ordered a pesto penne. The steak was A-OK (using the Yelp word). Nothing was wrong with it but it definitely wasn't outstanding. The cost of the steak wasn't any cheaper than a nice restaurant. My pesto penne was the same - it had some good ingredients, but they did not do a good job with the sauce. A pesto sauce should not be like water. As a result, a lot of the pesto flavor didn't get into the penne, so it tasted somewhat bland.
When it comes to paying, our waitress was also taking forever. I understand they're busy, but that's still quite slow for a busy restaurant. Highly doubt I'll go back again unless they have some cheap special.
