   Worst dining experience in years. We arrived on time for our reservations and waited at the hostess stand for around 5 minutes and no one showed up to check us in. A bartender yelled over that we could sit anywhere. This was St. Patrick's day and there was only 2 other parties at tables. It took 15 more minutes before a waitress came. She asked us what our order was but no one even gave us a menu yet. We ordered drinks. 10 minutes later she brings my husband's beer and told me my "hot toddy" would be a few more minutes. Well, I did not order a "hot toddy" so I reminded her I ordered a whiskey and coke. Finally my drink came and we placed our food order. Bangers and Mash for me and the smash burger for my husband. She did not write down our order. Food finally came and I got a brat sandwich with fries. I told her that is not what I ordered and she took the plate back and told us it would be another 5 minutes. In the mean time she brought us a "free" appetizer of their loaded fries. Well, they were cold and cheese was congealed. Totally inedible. Finally my dinner came out and it was truly awful. The bangers were luke warm and just awful. We did not see her again until she brought the check. My meal was at least taken off. Husband though the burger was ok but not worth the $16 price tag. Yikes - that was rough. Otherwise - it's supposed to be an English Pub sort of vibe. Well, the music was BLASTING loud house music and they were playing BET music videos on the TV. Wow. I expect that this place will be closed within the year. Terrible food, service and vibe. We won't be back.

   Nice place for a casual dinner. Food was good and so was the service.

   Good deal on the all you can eat Friday Fish fry. I’d pass on the smashed peas though.

   This used to be the old Bar Louie…space is great and some small tweaks to decor! Great service and food came out timely. The food background is UK based so everything was delish! Must experience this small town feel outdoor mall with everything at the touch of your fingertips!
