| - 3 stars, huh. Could a Ramsay place be only 3 stars? The Yelp rating says so, are the people right?
$30 for Fish & Chips? Ridiculous, right? After all, it's nearly 2x what I've ever paid even though it was super beautiful white fish; 2 smallish pieces with a generous amount of fries, and a very little ramekin filled with fresh peas (and a bit of mint). The flavor of everything was great even though I didn't have one bite with both fish & coating -- it broke when cutting it. (3.0 stars due to price)
$18 for Sandwich? It was terrific, though. Chicken pesto with roasted peppers, arugula, tomato, caramelized onions. Cold chicken, but the toasted bread was so good, it made up for it. British? (4.5 stars)
$11 dessert? Sticky Toffee Pudding (available at all Ramsay eateries) is to die for. Served with sweet cream ice cream and warm caramel poured over before your very eyes. Mmmmm. (4.5 stars)
Service was slow to begin with, but when Daisy finally made it over, she was all over my dining partner and I. Very responsive, fun, and efficient. (4.5 stars)
It's a really excellent pub, with drafts (Boddington's, $11) but expensive/costly/pricey. Beautifully constructed, painted (like a pool table), and many different rooms offering a little different feel depending on your desire. But, it's really expensive. For that, I came and conquered but may not return.
