Sir Ed's:
Have to say I was there the first night they opened their doors and have been returning ever since. It has the best of many worlds, go early enough, it is a great Restaurant with a "different" menu than what you would expect (You have to try the Ostrich Meatloaf!).
Go a little later in the evening, it is the classic "pub". I enjoy them both.
I have been to restaurants and pubs all over Europe and the USA. Sir Ed's ranks right up there with the best of them.
It is a great place to go for a celebration or just to grab a beer in the evening.
Draft selection is great, a true bonus if you like English beer! (and Guinness!) I have always found the staff to be outstanding..Over the years, they have had a couple that were not up to the task but thankfully they did not last.
Bar Staff is always wonderful and accommodating and over the years have become friends. Great place to go!!!
