    Perfect location for a group of ladies to split some appetizers, pub grub and bevvies before catching a show at Mirvish. Menus were a bit sticky. When we first arrived, there seemed to be some issues with staffing, but the second person that took care of us was outstanding.(not sure what happened to the first one I think she went on break or left or something?) food was tasty and cooked as to what we would’ve expected.  not outstanding or anything but absolutely perfect pub experience. Would recommend.

    We went there for my wife’s birthday. I accidentally made a booking for just 2 of us instead of 5. They were flexible enough to manage the change without making us wait. We loved the spicy Margherita and the buttermilk chicken bites. A must try!
