    The pizza was fantastic, wings were a bit salty. Service was extremely slow and then they tacked a 20% gratuity on the bill with no option to change.

    First time going to National on 7th. My daughter and I were happy with everything- especially the service. Everyone we interacted with was absolutely lovely. About the food, my 15 year old said “this is a lot like Cactus Club, but with Ranch!” So NTNL keep that Ranch dip coming, one of the most important condiments- at least for my kid. 😉

    Food and service were great but it was uncomfortably cold. Server let it slip that the manager wanted to keep a door open and it made the entire bar cold. We ended up leaving because it was so cold in the establishment, and heading to the bar next door. Otherwise we would have stayed all night.

    They confirmed they have a big screen for watching the Euro final, but it was a lie. Just bunch of 40” TVs that you barely could watch the game. The waitress who served us did not even bring us some water to drink (they usually serve water on the table). No cutleries for the table. Not recommended to anyone.

    Fries portion with burger was pretty small comparing… and otherwise regular tasting, so only 3* for this. also had rigatoni and a yuzu salad. Latter was great, however the chicken again fairly small. Service was nice, but forgot the starter completely without even noticing or mentioning. As the main had already arrived we decided not to insist. On the positive side, the ambience is lovely and the food came fast, and even the soft refills without even asking. So overall a 4*

    Always love this location! The staff are so friendly and service is always quick and seamless. They were willing to accommodate a very large group of us last minute for a work lunch which made our day so special.

    Went for happy hour on the patio. Drinks on special were okay. Service was not the greatest. Ordered some food items and had they seem to forget about it until you ask an hour later. Wouldn't come back
