Great relaxing dinner, interesting menu

by gabrielleharris at Citysearch

The true surprise was how interesting the menu was- nothing seemed 'ordinary'. Even standard items like wings were slow cooked and tasty. Loved my rockfish and the hubby liked his Shepards Pie. Service was great and prices were reasonable.

• Pros: food, menu, service

Fantastic neighborhood tavern in old e.c.

Love this place. Scotch eggs and burger were both phenomenal. My lady friend enjoyed her steamed rockfish very much. I was surprised to see the reviewer before that said portion sizes were small- I had trouble finishing my 1/2 lb burger and the rockfish filet my lady had was a good size. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back!

• Pros: Great food and service

Awful experience

by brownshoesinbmore at Citysearch

Food was way overpriced and poor.

The 10$ Fish Bites appetizer was 4 tiny (marble-sized) pieces. (although I admit they were tasty - but TEN dollars???)

The 6$ Crab soup was one of the worst examples of a dish I've ever had in my life. It was tomato soup with stewed tomatoes and a few shreds of crab meat. That was it!!! NO other vegetables other than tomatoes and no flavor other than tomatoes. Stay away from this place.

As I said the waitstaff was nice.

• Pros: Waitstaff was nice
• Cons: Food was terrible
