Food was excellent and arrived quickly for our party of 5. Mac n cheese and dirty fries were favorites of our group. The sticky toffee waffles made a great dessert! Our only comment for improvement involves the (small) restoom facilities. Singles meant always a line. Overall we loved it and will return for our next pre-concert dinner.

We dined on a Sunday evening; the restaurant was very busy and the noise level was high. Three of us ordered specials were excellent. The 4th person ordered lasagna which was very good. Our waiter provided excellent service and was very accommodating to any special requests.
