    Each staff member was absolutely gracious. The manager came to our table and extended further exceptional service on an item. The chicken and duck liver pate was dee-freakin-lish-us. We enjoyed all the starters and entrees. We are coming back. With all our friends!!!

    We were a party of six & they accommodated us very comfortably. The atmosphere was « British Pub » which was unique. Our orders were taken & everything arrived without a problem. The food was « Pub-grub » and very good.

    I loved everything about this place. The food was great, the service excellent, and the ambiance is eclectic and unique. As well, I have a gluten allergy and my husband is vegetarian. We were both cared for well. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and careful to warn me of potential cross contamination. There was a gluten free menu and my husband had no problem finding (delicious) vegetarian options. I highly recommend this place. My husband and I will be back. Probably many times over.

    Ate in the bar room. Remembering a different menu when we ate upstairs. Food was good not knock your socks off. I ordered the rabbit pie in puff pastry and my husband ordered mussels. Mussels were wonderful, large & meaty but the broth they were in was boring. The rabbit pie was just okay. Not in a very interesting sauce. Looked pretty. My friends ordered bangers & mash and shepherd's pie. They seemed to like them but made no comment.

    the ambience, food, and service were fantastic. Some of the menu items are pricey, as is the parking nearby ($40 for 2 hours!).

    Great food. Tried two of their appetizers that I would never think of eating and both were great. Our waiter was very attentive and bread absolutely delicious.

    Everything was spectacular. The lamb shepherds pie was rich and delicious. The absolute star of the show was the tandoori chicken. The chicken literally melted in my mouth. Drinks were fabulous and the sticky toffee pudding was the perfect end to a delicious meal. Service was great - perceptive to our needs but not overly attentive. We will absolutely be back the next time we visit Philly.

    Food was delicious! Our server was great. It took longer than expected to get our food, but went at lunch time and it was busy.
