This is a pub/bar first and foremost and as far as pub food goes, I'm rarely disappointed here. I love the atmosphere. Cozy (because of the fireplace, dim lighting) and lively at once. I usually stick to the burger which is usually on target (with a side of to-die-for fries) but tonight for some reason they missed the spot. The waitress did not ask (and they usually do) how I liked it cooked and was off before I could tell her. It was way over-done and shriveled a la McDonald's. And for some reason they'd replaced they're usual scrumptious steak fries with dry, skinny ones. Skip the cheesecake. It's dryish texture will leave you gasping for water. Proceed with caution for anything that requires some culinary skill. Again, on a good night you can get a good, reasonably priced hit-or-miss burger but just drive about 6 blocks down the street to The Elysian on Pike for a burger that for about the same price is much, much, much, much better.
