    Unpretentious upscale pub. The food and service are always dependably good. Very much a comfortable spot for a good dinner. The staff is flexible about mixing entrees and side dishes. Reasonably priced. A good choice for a quick casual meal.

    Was surprised to learn that if you reserve in the bar you need to specify a table with chairs vs a table with benches which is what we were sat at. One member of our party had a sore back so we asked to move to a table with chairs. They said they could not make any changes even though there were empty tables ( with chairs) waiting for reservations to arrive. When I asked the waitress about this she said you have to specify upon making a reservation! Never heard this before and we have eaten there many times! Good to know for the future!

    Food is consistently good. Atmosphere is comfortable, easy to talk and not too close to another table. We all had salads which were fresh and delicious.

    Excellent spot for lunch or dinner. Reservations always a good idea! Everything is delicious, but especially recommend the salmon sandwich (with greens, pickled onions, and garlic aioli) and sweet potato fries!

    We love this restaurant. We dine here often. Our only complaint on this visit was the table at the kitchen door even with a reservation. That was noisy and distracting.
