Everything was great. I would say the cocktails are on the smaller side for the price tag, but I guess that’s the norm these days. Server was absolutely lovely.

The service was very good and our waitress was very helpful. I found the Lamb to be excellent. The beef tartar I ordered was covered with small black chips. Seemed like a great idea over having crisps on the side. Unfortunately, the chips we're incredibly salty. They had a great beer selection of Stout and IPA as well as wine by the glass. Overall, I would return and recommend this restaurant to others.
