"When you walk in the door, there is a sign at the check-in desk that says something like sit anywhere and let your server know. This was confusing as we had reservations. When I asked about our reservation, the host says he didn't see our reservation. When I told him we made it on Open Table, he brushed it off with an, "oh There were plenty of tables open so I could see that it wasn't going to be a problem. On the way to our "reserved" table, I noticed this place was bar with some seating area pushed off to the right side that is the "restaurant" seating area as you enter. Once seated, I was observed the establishment and checked out the menu. The menu on Open Table for this place was nothing like the menu in front of me. I could clearly see that the menu had "pub food" and clearly wasn't the restaurant menu that I read about on Open Table. My husband and I were tight on our plans for that evening and didn't have time to try to find a another place to eat so we relucantly decided to take a chance with there food. I ordered fish and chips, which were touted to be one of there menu items they are known for. It was blah. Considering we are in Seattle, I expected to be blown away. The fish was simply breaded with some french fries that were cold. My husband ordered another item that was supposed to be unique for this place, the shepard pie. When we say this item was overly salted is an understatement. The good under the mashed potatoes was unrecognizable and looked and smelled more like something you would plop out of a Dollar Store can of dog food. The beans that accompanied the shepard pie we're soggy and bland... Not sure how you can mess up beans but, here you go. The server was more interested in my husband's bar needs as just to choke down this food, had to order a couple more beers to try to get rid of the after taste. This place is NOT a restaurant with a bar.... It is a bar that serves bar food"
