My partner and I stopped in after catching a movie and were not disappointed.The service was quick, our server a little too rushed for the restaurant not being very busy.I was super stoked to find a full list of working taps with Stone Brewing available!! This was amazing.Food was tasty. Wish the fettuccine came out a bit warmer.All around I was glad we stopped in and we will probably be back within the next month!

Five of our ROMEO group went here today for lunch. Immediately seated and the waitress took our dink orders. We ordered a starter of Onion Rings and for the entrees we had four Fish N Chips (2 small and 2 large) and one Corned Beef and Cabbage. The Onion Rings were the big hit of the day. Probably the best onion rings we've ever had, and along with the fabulous honey mustard sauce it can't be beat. The Haddock fish was excellent. Lightly battered and flaky white. It could've been a bit more crispy but it was excellent. The only issue is that the small Fish is $17.95 and the large is $19.95. The only difference is the small fish is 4 oz. compared to 8 oz for the large. One of our guys, after tasting a bite of his small fish, said I should've ordered the large for $2 more. She. asked the waitress if he could covert to a large, but she said that'd be like $12...so..nevermind. Tip- order the large..you'll like it. Great menu with so many items I'd like to try. Great atmosphere and our waitress was very good.

The food, atmosphere and the service was definitely 5 star. The cost of the food and portion size is what removed a star. Our waitress was amazing! Kind, helpful and attentive. I ordered the fish and chips large portion and the husband ordered the curry extra hot. Large fish and chips were $19.95. Described as" A British tradition: Haddock (a Royal favorite) hand battered and fried golden brown. Served with freshcut English chips, a grilled lemon and a side of housemade tartar sauce." I received one strip of fish that was hand battered w steak fries. There were what appeared to be fried spring onion ( might be wrong ) and they served no purpose except to express this was an elevated fish. It wasn't. It was good but nothing fancy. It was plated in a high end way. I expected a more beer battered, crispy exterior w maybe 2 good sized fillets as a large portion. Tartar was passable. The Curry was extra hot and no plating flair. It's a pub so I get it. It was $16.95 though. Plopped on a bit of rice w 3 broccoli heads as the vegetables. It was def spicy and delicious. The texture turned him off. We boxed it up for later. Hoping we could doctor it up and coax its excellence out of it. I had a red draft that was delicious. The bill with tip turned out to be $65. There was an added on cc fee and a $1.99 up charge on the fries on my dish that no one explained to me. This was too rich for my blood for what got. I'd have been satisfied for $12.95 with the fish, curry plated better w smaller portion for $13.95, beer $4. Nix the extra fries fee ( extra cost for large fries?). Loose the card processing fee. That's $5 right there added w $7 and $3 I'd have seen $15 reduction. I'm coming back to try other stuff and hope I find a happy medium. Bout $35-$40 for a down to earth meal for two.

I love Irish or British pubs. I do enjoy brewpubs and they seem to be everywhere. British pubs know how to create a space where sports (mainly soccer), beer and food that goes with beer come together perfectly. When I read there was a British owned pub in Columbia SC, I couldn't believe it. I was here for business so even better. Had two Kilkenny Cream ales, ordered Scotch eggs to start and had the corned beef cabbage for dinner. Undeniably a great time. My friend/co-worker had the fish and chips. Wanted a pie, but they were sold out. Waiter was perfect. Highly recommend.

Walked in and the restaurant smelled of burnt grease. I should have left at that point but because we were meeting friends we stayed. Entire meal was terrible. Worst experience anywhere in a long time. Fish and chips/ breading was undercooked and mushy French Onion soup had a very bad taste. Big dog- sausage was burnt and sauerkraut was dry. Service was spotty. Restaurant had taken a terrible turn. Will not go back. They’ve been there a long time, but I bet they want be there by the end year.
