When I went here last night for my brother's birthday I had never heard of it before. I honestly thought it was sort of like a Firkin-ish type of establishment. I was very surprised by the atmosphere upon my arrival and even further intrigued as I perused the menu. It's all old English pub fare! It was really a nice change of pace and a learning experience.
I played it safe and ordered the fish and chips. It was delicious! The chips were particularly good and came w. a creamy dill dip and a fresh tomato dip as well (which I wasn't as fond of, the dill dip was divine though!).
For dessert, my sister and I were both interested in finding out what canary steamed sponge was, so we got that to share. Honestly? I wished I'd gotten my own. It was THAT good. It was light and fluffy steamed lemon sponge cake with lemon curd cascading out of the top into a sea of velvety custard. It's served hot which makes it all the more satisfying. There was definite spoon-dueling going on for the last morsel of it!
The drink prices aren't too bad either, my gin and tonic was only $6.
If you're in the area, I would definitely say this place is worth a try! Make reservations if you can, because it was quite busy.
