| - I picked this place as a last minute alternative to our first choice for dinner that was closed on Sunday evening (Lolo's in closed?!). I was showing my British boyfriend around Phoenix and on our last night in town, we decided to try this place out. First of all, I'm glad it's labeled under American food, because the menu is most definitely not at all British. I came in with my family - 3 kids (two older, one 3 year old) and my sister-in-law who has been in a wheelchair due to an accident. The place wasn't busy so they were able to accommodate our group of 7 with special requests quite quickly. Although I noticed if our table wasn't available, it would have been difficult to seat us since the other empty tables were located a step up above the normal ground level (which would have been very difficult to get to in a wheelchair).
The menu was expansive, although the children complained the kid's menu had a lot left to be desired. Nonetheless, I ordered the pecan salmon, my boyfriend ordered the chicken breast, my sister-in-law the fish and chips (the only British item on the menu! No bangers and mash?!) and my brother ordered the fajitas. Fajitas were not available (ran out of tortillas?) so he opted for the chipotle mac and cheese. In addition to my own dish, I tried the chicken and the mac and cheese, and they all were quite delicious (my favorite being the mac and cheese!). I even stole some of the kids' pepperoni pizza, which is hard to mess up. The salmon dish was great, although a bit outnumbered by the mass amounts of mash and greens, but the contrast to the sweet pecan sauce was amazing.
The service was average, as we had a trainee helping out our table and getting a few drink orders wrong, but nothing that wasn't immediately fixed and forgiven.
As far as my review on this slow Sunday night, all things were good, but seeing some other reviews, it will be interesting to try this place on a busier night.
