My group of 5 were seated at the bar in the restaurant. My partner and I arrived last and the waitress quickly took our order for food and drinks. However, after 30 minutes, our drinks still hadn't arrived. When we asked, the waitress promptly brought them to us. Our dinner took 1 hour to come out, even though the restaurant was not busy. Unfortunately, the waitress accidentally dropped our garlic bread on the floor, but she placed a napkin underneath to prevent it from sliding around. Two orders of mac and cheese were served cold and had to be reheated in the microwave. The other meals were decent and tasty. When the reheated mac and cheese was brought back, the garlic bread was dropped again, but this time only one napkin was placed under the bowl. For dessert, we ordered a variety of sundaes, but the pistachio ice cream was not available so we settled for salted caramel. The desserts all came with a pancake, but we were informed there was no pancake available. The vanilla ice cream lacked flavor and seemed to be of poor quality. Despite these issues, no compensation or apologies were offered. We were extremely disappointed as we had previously enjoyed dining at the restaurant for many years, but this experience tainted our view of it.

I came for lunch last week and enjoyed a delicious salad! I can't wait to come back and try more dishes.

I went to this restaurant today for Sunday lunch with a group of 5 people and had a fantastic meal! The service provided by Chloe, Lani, Megan, and Ruby was excellent. I will definitely be coming back again.

This pub was reopened only a week ago with new ones and employees, and tonight our first visit was there for three years or more. my wife and I had drinks and a meal and I am so glad to report that the place back to his old is even years ago: nice service, nice eating, beautiful atmosphere and cheap in a charming country pub. the new people get the dinge right; so much better than in recent years. we will definitely come back.
