"Let me start by saying, the service here is fabulous. Our waiter was just attentive enough without being overly so, and he kept our beverages coming without our having to ask even once. The food, however, is another matter. My compatriots ordered the fish chips and the salmon fish chips. According to my family, the regular fish chips was very soggy, which is indicative of the fish being fried at too low a temperature. It was cooked through, but soggy. The salmon fish chips were severely overdone it was very obvious visually, and they were dry. Personally, I have a celiac disease, and the waiter was extremely knowledgeable about which items I could or could not have, and many of the items can be modified to be gluten free. I ended up ordering the citrus kale salad, which wasn't the best choice. The dressing was nice, as were the toppings (e.g., cranberries, etc. , but the chicken was a tad dry. In addition, the kale still had the stems in it I didn't expect this and halfway broke a tooth (I exaggerate, but you get the point . The kale stems were very hard, and the kale itself was quite dirty, such that you could feel the grains as you were chewing. The salad overall tasted good, but I don't think I would order it again. Now to dessert. They were very accommodating in treating the birthday boys to dessert. I cannot have the desserts personally due to my celiac disease, but the birthday boys elected to try the donut holes and the carrot cake. Reportedly, the donuts were a little over fried, but still decent. They serve them with caramel sauce. The carrot cake, which is apparently made with their red ale (unusual, right? , was apparently exquisite. They make it in house every day, and the birthday boys thought it was just fabulous. It's also HUGE, more than enough for two to share. Overall, I could see visiting this place again for dessert for someone else, and possibly to see what other items could be made gluten free. We shall see. ;"
