   Service was great. Fish and chips were good. Beef stew was terrible. It was more like a tomato based vegetable soup with a few pieces of tough meat. The pretzels are amazing. It was. It was on the noisy side but it was the saturday before saint patricks.

   Date 2/14 , and while the experience had its highs and lows, it’s definitely a place worth talking about. First, the service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and professional. The ambiance was also very nice, making for a pleasant dining atmosphere. The meal started Very thick potato and leek soup, which was not flavorful. The main course, a beef Wellington, was unfortunately served cold, which took away from what could have been a great dish. The biggest disappointment was the dessert, which was downright awful—definitely not the best way to end the meal. Overall, the service and setting were excellent, but the food was inconsistent. I’d consider giving it another try, hoping for a better experience next time.

   Beer bottles not cold. Booth very high walls and felt closed in. Servers never asked us if we wanted another drink. Scottish eggs were amazing.

   We arrived with a group of 9 with reservation and were seated promptly. The Waiter was attentive and efficient. Comfortable environment and I recommend the bacon wrapped dates

   Seated 20 minutes after reservation time. Slow service, seemed really understaffed. Fried food was burnt like the oil was needing to be changed. Food was mediocre. Barely anyone there. Sad! Won’t be going back

   Won’t go back. It took 45 minutes for the food to come out. Beef stew was terrible but the fish and chips were decent. Poor server was running around so much he was physically sweating. They clearly didn’t have enough staff on the floor or in the kitchen.

   Service was quite poor. Took a while to be seated, longer to place our order, and even longer to get our food. I ordered the stew and it was cold and had three pieces of meat in it. Would go back for drinks but doubt I would go back for food service.

   Food and service were excellent. Bring a sweeter- it was cold inside.

    Lack of proper staffing resulted in slow service. The front of the house staff were trying hard despite being overwhelmed and our server was always smiling despite the difficulty. We waited too long for our drinks and the bartender looked harried given the workload. We tried Bear & Crown during restaurant week and the dishes available were poorly conceived and executed even worse. The starter was bland and presented poorly on a thin layer of wilted greens. The beef stew was more of an oily, tasteless soup while the alternative cod chowder tasted okay if maybe a little thick for made to order. The steak was undercooked yet somehow also tough and chewy served with cold fries that stuck together - likely caused by crowding in the fryer. The pat of herbed butter would be better suited to a flatter cut of beef as it was difficult to spread evenly across the steak. The alternate entree was a filet of bland, overcooked salmon on a pile of rice that tasted like something from a box. The crowd was lively throughout the large bar and restaurant. Parking was difficult. The inside stayed too cold thanks to the front door being kept open on a chilly January night.
