I have been here twice already and I am impressed. First time I came here for drinks with colleagues after work. They complained that there are no televisions and no wings, nachos or regular bar food on the menu. Instead it has inventive food and great selection of beer and wine. I had the waffle grilled cheese. Cheesy and good. What a difference a waffle makes!
Buoyed by my previous food experience I went with a good friend for lunch. Oh boy! Service was great, friendly but not overly chatty. The banquet seating was sumptuous and I felt a bit spoiled considering this used to be a smelly pub with worn out chairs. Now it is leather with tucks and real silverware. I had the salmon Wellington and I must say I was blown away by this perfectly cooked meal. The salmon was perfectly cooked, flaky and yielding and the pastry was melt in your mouth. I felt gobsmacked with the caliber of this food at a pub?!?? My friend had the puttanesca pasta which was delicious as well filled with fresh ingredients.
I am seriously thinking of graduating this to a dinner destination. With great food and service I will be happy to come back here again and again. And with the very nice digs I will not hesitate to come here for a business lunch.
