Salads & appetizers/mains are complemented by specials, including (that evening) tasty steamed cockles with chorizo, and an over-salted yet curiously bland Berkshire pork soup with pureed vegetables. ”

the shoesting potato fries were good-- accented with rosemary and garlic. ”

The fries are pretty great (says a lot coming from someone born and raised in Montreal) and the lamb and burger are both great choices. ”

- “
It was a disappointment because I though I found a diamond in the rough, and now I don't think I'd recommend this place other than to grab some drinks, flirting and fries. ”
