WOW! What an improvement!
I've been here a few times, two of which were only for a quick drink. Definitely a good place for just stopping by the bar and having a beer. The bar staff was a little awkward and stared a lot the second time, but other than that, no problems. At least I got served (cough, Black Dog, cough).
The food is also pretty tasty. A friend and I split some bites including the chicken skewers and mussels. Both were good, nothing wrong.
The only reason I'm at a 3 is because there's nothing spectacular about this place. Maybe if I try a full meal here or just go more I'll find reason for another star or two, but overall, it's just average.
