    We really enjoyed the atmosphere here. We sat by the real fireplace, which was wonderful on the wintery stormy night they were having. All 5 of our party ordered something different and we all enjoyed our food. Good tap selection, too. Our server was kind and helpful since one of our party members were late; she was very accommodating in our orders for them.

    The facility has a cool history and unique architecture. I dropped in for lunch and a beverage. The shepherds pie was amazing and the service was excellent. Take some time to look around and read every in the walls. Great place to grab a quick meal and drinks.

    I previously rated as 5 stars but I'm really upset and disgusted by my latest experience. The place was full, ahead of a target center event, as expected. There were 5 out so groups waiting for a table but NO WAIT-LIST. We were told to CIRCLE UNTIL SOMETHING OPENS UP. Are you kidding me? So all the people walking through the door enter the restaurant and everyone is walking around hawking other guests trying to snag the first table that opens up. What a complete joke. Rude to your waiting customers and extremely rude for people sitting and eating as everyone just stands around with their party dispatched to try to grab the table that opens next. What a complete joke.
