    Very nice food and interesting beers, especially the pork and the chicken are delicious. The music was a bit loud.

    This gastro pub is very good. The staff and service throughout the night was very good, very friendly people. The menu was hard to choose from as everything sound good. The food matched the description, it was excellent. Portion sizes are huge so make sure you are hungry. I thought I got way more in quality and quantity than what I paid. And a good beer selection. The IPA I had was very good. This place is worth multiple visits to get through the food and beer menus.
