We loved it. Our waiter, Sean, was super. He was very attentive to us. Checked on us frequently. I had the chicken pot pie and I loved it. My sister had the oysters and a Scottish egg and she really liked her food. Highly recommend.

I showed the email and was told that they are very busy and will need to wait. I did not wait long when i was offered the tavern area. We went the tavern area and was seated at a small table. We waited over 45 minutes for the food which was just ok.
