This is the place to go if you want to be “bad” and eat really good fried food.
Live music and no cover charge on weekend evenings.
They had a menu of local craft beers on tap, which i liked (Anderson Valley, Dust Bowl, for example, and a few more).
They have Fullers and Guinness, for those looking to get the more traditional “British pub” experience.
Starting with the food, I got the Dover sole with lemon caper sauce. It seemed to be a lighter (and presumably healthier) choice compared to burgers, pasta, etc. The fish came with broccoli and rice on the side. Everything was very tasty; the fish was soft and flaky and went really well with a squeeze of lemon. The rice was soft, fluffy, and had a good flavor from the pico de gallo.
The main selling point tonight was the atmosphere. We had front row seats to the show: a local swing jazz group.
Overall, great place to eat and share a drink or two with friends and chat.
The big draw for my family is the large kids play area over in a corner. It lets us all enjoy the wait (me with beer, my 4 year old with pirate ship). There’s also a large chalkboard for little artists.
Come early though, it does get crowded at night and eventually the play area becomes a music stage.
We happened to be sitting in Jenny’s section, and she was so lovely. She took care of us and even though the place was packed, like multiple turn over on tables packed, Jenny made sure to keep us updated on food times, and drink orders. She was the epitome of what good service is! She even brought out extra onion rings because our food was taking longer than expected! Did she need to do that? Not at all- but on top of all of that, the owner came out to apologize about food times! It was incredible! this place gets it – if you want repeat customers, you make them feel like family, and that’s what we felt like, family.
Now let’s talk about the food and the quality of it. My husband convinced me to order the rib eye, which I had no intention of doing, but my guy has a special talent for instantly knowing a quality kitchen, and let me tell you, he hasn’t been wrong yet! The quality of the steak they serve is better (and larger) than most restaurants in SF. It was a marbled thing of beauty (not to mention, bigger than my head!)
This place is gem, and if you happen to be around at the right time of night, you might just see the mayor, Odin, stop by for a special treat!
