Food was great except for burger which hd no taste. Our first table was near the front door and it was so cold you could not sit there without a coat. The manager was great and moving us to a new table.

The cocktails and beer selection were both top notch. The food was also really tasty with their own take on some pub dishes that raised the bar and elevated the experience. And it’s amazing inside. We will definitely go back regularly!

Great place, great location, great food & superb service! The only negative is that it’s a spec building so the acoustics are HORRIBLE! The super high open ceiling without any sound insulation makes it super loud. The one in Annapolis (Parole Town Center) doesn’t suffer from this poor acoustics problem. Delightful dinner experience - just needs sound work 😃
