| - Waffled around between three and four stars but I'm feeling generous. Four stars it is.
As previous reviewers have said, a bit pricey, delightfully English, and delicioso! (Can I mix languages like that?)
The interior definitely floats my boat. Imagine the den of an English professor--fires, armchairs, wooden panelling, the whole nine yards. Beautiful decor.
Going along with the atmosphere of the inside, I ordered an old fashioned. Solid choice, a little on the sweet side but the citrus was strong like I like it.
Had the pork belly. One word: perfection.
We were here with ten people, so the bill split out pretty messily. I know requesting separate bills is a lot when there are so many people, but if you're going to automatically add an 18% gratuity charge, I feel like it's a small thing to ask for. Instead, all the items came on one big bill so we had to take turns going to the register to pay. The last person to pay ended up with an extra $15 on his bill so clearly our group did some dubious math, but as we were trying to work it out, the server was noticeably pretty impatient and anxious. She might have been worried we'd leave the extra $15 on her, but coming by to confront us about it made us all feel uncomfortable.
On the other hand...great tasting food and drinks, love the feel of the place. Probably would come back for a semispecial occasion to justify the price, maybe with a smaller group.
