Just went here with my husband to meet family yesterday and we will never go back . First off you walk in and the music was incredibly loud you could not hear the person sitting next to you. The place was not very busy yet with the music so loud everyone had to shout to talk to their friends / family . It smelt like a public restroom. The menu was very basic. Doesn’t give good description of what is on certain dishes. My BIL ordered the bruschetta and it was under done . The bread was soggy. Chicken tenders were over done and not the best batter. Over all the food was not the best very low grade . Wait to even take the order was very long . Over all the experience was not great and I wouldn’t waste your time going. If you want to be deaf and unable to hear your guest and don’t plan on eating then you will be fine.

We ordered nachos, and there was more than enough for all of us. They were delicious and fresh. The people working there were so friendly and made everyone feel so welcome!

Level 5 local guide here. Food was pretty bad to say the least. Waffle fries nachos were soggy, ground beef was over cooked. Perch was under salted. Waited 40 min to get food after ordering. Overall, this is what I would call bad bar food. Service was fine. Atmosphere was dead, it's Monday.

Ordered the British Burrito, which was described as "Yorkshire pudding wrap stuffed with tender roast beef". The roast beef was lunch meat heated up. It was not pleasant! The processed lunch meat was rubbery & did not taste good. The server offered a discount off my bill ( I really should have sent it back), but when I requested a take away box because I didn't want to waste the food, but instead feed it to my dog, they refused to give me the discount. The server did not tell me this, but then tried to get me to pay full price. It was only when I challenged him, that he told me that management said no discount if I took it home, only if I let them throw it away. I had only taken two bites. I didn't appreciate the server not being upfront. If I wanted heated lunch meat, Arby's would be a better choice. It was gross! Won't go back.

We really enjoyed our 1st experience. Went for dinner and drinks. Food was yummy, excellent and friendly service. Live music was nice. If any "complaints" or should i say tips... a little more sauce on the ribs next time ;) ;) and French onion soup could of been a little hotter (bowl was hot but should of been under broiler a bit. Crispy top) But other than that food was very great and we left by eating it all! Looking forward to going back, thanks!

Had a great experience! Greeted immediately upon entering and seated quickly. Appeared to be only one server in the place and while there was a decent amount of people dining he was great and very attentive. My burger was fantastic and full of flavour, the mac and cheese was so tasty that even when full I couldn't stop eating it. The Irish nachos were a delicious appetizer. Had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend this place! 👍Only downfall was several missing menu items.

I will never eat here even though its the closest restaurant to my home. I like to check out the menu before I go to a restaurant to see what they offer. I was blocked from there web site for no reason. If you dont want your customers to know about you, Ill take my business elsewhere.

If google allows me give review without giving a star, that would be my first choice. My family went for their new year eve event, but the place is not set for new year celebrations at all! There is no celebration atmosphere at all, and the food was discusting, the veggies are not cooked at all. They even do not bother to put salad, the bread they serve are old like rubber, I barely can chew it, we didnt enjoy at all, and as my daughter said, its just food for hunger. Beside that, the place is too loud with the game, other people were yelling and scream during the singers performance, the screaming even covered the singers singing and music, I just feel I am really in the wrong place for such a nice event. In short, nothing was special for new year celebrations and it is not a place to host new year celebrations such! We really regret to book here Please dont come honestly!

my friend and I went for dinner a couple of weeks ago, loved the look of the interior, and it seemed to have a good selection of beer and I thought I would come back again for a drink that weekend. that is where the positives end for me unfortunately, we got in and it wasnt terribly busy they took our order and we waited 2 hours for our food! when the food did come my friends dish was cold noodles with overcooked chicken. mine was also cold and somehow they undercooked the rice. i mean how do you serve what was basically uncooked rice. needless to say i wont be back for dinner anytime soon.

We went for breakfast. I ordered a standard bacon and eggs it was very good. My husband ordered Sir Richards breakfast bowl. It was good but needed to be much warmer. The cheese curds did not all melt and were cold. The plate was cold causing the gravy to cool quickly. As far as the flavor it was good just need to improve on the cold issue and it would be great. Service was excellent.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful meal on the patio this evening. We shared 2 pounds of Chicken Wings - large size, good quality, with no gristle. They were perfectly fried and the meat pulled easily and cleanly from the bone. The fresh-cut fries were nicely-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our sons enjoyed an Apple Crumble and Warm Brownie (both with ice cream for desert). Drew (our server) recovered nicely after a small spill - he checked on us often and was excellent. We will be back again soon!

Ordered the sir Richards burger for takeout with side of fries for four people and all four orders were messed up and had wrong toppings.

December 23, 2022

Ordered steak and ale pie. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Puff pastry flopped over a serving of canned beef soup with a tip of I think vinegar or Guinness splashed in it. No steak whatsoever. The soup was so watery I had to eat it with s spoon. I took the puff pasty that was not even baked on top of pie off and ate it separately. The pastry was buttery but not cooked properly. STEAK AND ALE PIE SHOULD BE EATEN WITH A FORK AND HAVE VEBETABLES THAT ARE NOT CUBED, gravy that is not soupy and can be eaten with a FORK. Gave it 1 for puff pastry otherwise GARBAGE.

No I didnt take a picture.... Sorry The Goat cheese, beet, and quinoa salad YUM. Ratatouille also YUM!!! I must admit I have never had the opportunity to try this before so I am simply going on my opinion of the flavors.... If you love stewed tomatoes then this is a must try dish! It was delicious, I would definitely have again. The only change I would make is, rather than the cheddar, I would request the goat cheese with the quinoa.

Disappointing. Service was good but food was poor. Pirogies were deep fried and the cheese on top was not melted and neither was the cheese on top the Mac & cheese. Ruben sandwich would have been ok if the bread had spent more than 20 seconds in the toaster. Wings were OK but the Cajun rub was way too salty. We enjoyed the beer and the waiter was good otherwise it would have gotten a 2 star.
