| - Went here for lunch a few weeks ago. I really dug the decor. This is first and foremost a pub, but they've switched up the traditional pub look with a modernist beer theme (lots of casks and gold liquid used throughout the space).
As an appetizer, my lunch-mates and I ordered the pretzels, which were fine--nothing different than you would find anywhere, and I thought the sauces weren't especially tasty. For our entrees, the waitress steered me away from the bland (her words) veggie plate and to the chicken & dumplings. When it arrived, I was disappointed to learn that the chicken was all dark meat--possibly my least fave thing to eat! I went back to the menu to see if it had stated that chicken was actually dark meat but such info was conspicuously absent. And, yes, I know that it is fashionable to eat dark chicken meat these days, but I just cannot get with that. I loathe sending food back--LOATHE IT!!--but dark chicken meat is too much for me to bear, so I finally flagged down our waitress and asked if the uneaten dish could be returned. She was highly reluctant to send it back, which rubbed me the wrong way, and I actually had to push her to send it back. I get the feeling that she was new, but, given that this is probably the third time in my life I've ever sent food back to a kitchen, I was pretty shocked by her attitude. When she finally took my food back to the kitchen and permitted me to reorder, upon the advice of my lunch-mates, I chose the fish and chips. This dish was quite good, and I would highly recommend. Unfortunately, my meal arrived long after everyone else's, so I had to do that awkward eating-after-others-have-already-eaten-and-want-to-leave thing. Not so cool. We considered dessert, but they only had two options, and our waitress didn't do a very good job of selling either one.
Rereading the above, I'm not exactly sure why I'm giving the Liberty 3 stars. I actually started with 4 stars, but after reflecting on my experience, quickly dropped it to 3 and now I'm even questioning that high of a score. I guess my gut tells me that most of the issues I had were a direct result of having a yuck waitress and a poorly described menu, and, despite everything, I am willing to come back and give this place another shot. So, I would suggest that the Liberty keep their interesting decor and fish and chips but update and refine their menu descriptions, train their waitresses better, have more desserts and a dessert menu.
