    Great vibes, very cozy spot, would be great for a date. One of the best meals I've had in a long time. I'd recommend sharing plates. It was a great experience for a great value. Don't skip dessert!

    This prettily appointed joint has feel-good vibes with gorgeous cocktails (the Iron Lady, a tart, rose-infused gin sipper) and hearty fare (a fat, juicy pork chop glazed in a bacon-fig vinaigrette). Read more

    "Eggs & Butter" Soft-boiled eggs are smoked and served with horseradish butter and green-peppercorn salt. The yolks achieve that perfect gooey-but-not-runny balance, which isn't easy to accomplish.

    Great atmosphere - the bass, tasty but too many bones which didn't make it enjoyable. I've never got charged for gin and tonic like this: gin $8 + $1 extra for the tonic? bit overpriced if you ask me.

    The gastropubby menu changes daily, but you can count on thoughtful, comforting fare often finished with a surprisingly delicate touch.

    The carrots and smashed potatoes are phenomenal, and the pork chop is simply divine. Worth every penny (even if it is a lot of them).

    Make sure to request a seat in the back. For some reason, the staff always request I sit in the front even though the back area is superior.

    The Windrush: bitters, rye, rum, cognac and other wonderful things. Highly recommend.

    Great looking place but overpriced for the area and the portions for brunch. You'll leave hungry if you expected a good sized meal.

    Really good happy hour. Get an old fashioned and sit in the second bar area out the back.

    Yorkshire pudding blew my mind and then the bacon collected all the brain pieces and made me whole again. I know that's a confusing metaphor.

    Servers and food are great. Weird seating policy. Despite having over half a dozen free tables, patrons were asked to wait 10 minutes at the bar before sitting everyone at the same community table.

    Oyster mushroom dish delish! Chocolate pate is unbelievable = sweet and salty spicy wonder.

    For 3 people, get 3 small plates and 1 entree to share! Don't forget the bottle of Malbec

    Seriously. Don't skip dessert. Apple walnut tarte with sour cream is eyebrow-raisingly wonderful.

    Made a meal out of the side plates/apps, showstopper cocktails and dessert. Such a neighborhood gem.

    Pretty good food but Jesus our server seemed to have abject hatred for us. Really ruined the great food.

    The food is high quality, but the portions are *juust* a bit too small. Try the shirred egg.

    Be careful about the Happy Hour prices from 11am to 1pm. It sometimes doesn't translate to the bill :)

    I'm English and this food was such a disappointment. The chef might want to visit the UK at least once before attempting to make a ploughman's again #letdown

    Sticky Ginger Bread is good. Had the Salt Cod Potato Pie at brunch. Extremely small portions. Half the plate was salad. Will not come back.
