I made a reservation here after reading that they have great fish and chips. I didn't realize that this place is really three restaurants, and the person who answered the phone didn't tell me that either. Maybe the downstairs bar area doesn't take reservations? Anyway, we wound up eating somewhat fancier fare in "The Dining Room." Here's what we gotxtail cottage pie for 2 ($295): Extremely tender and savory, with very creamy cheddar mashed potatoes on top.

Oxtail cottage pie for 2 ($295): Extremely tender and savory, with very creamy cheddar mashed potatoes on top. Not really piping hot, but not cold either. The menu says it's for two for sharing, but we only ate about half of it and had the other half the next night as leftovers. A-
Organic greens: The pie comes with 'organic greens.' In this instance, that meant Chinese broccoli. It was OK, but I've definitely had better Chinese broccoli (and it's far from my top choice of green anyway). B-
We decided to go with beer rather than wine, and my heart sank when the server recited the beer list. "Tsingtao, Carlsberg,..." I didn't catch any British beers on the list at all (though I'll admit, even though the server repeated the list twice, I only understood about 2/3rds of what he said). I settled for a Leffe and my wife had a Stella.
All in all, it was pretty good. I don't think I had enough of the food to rate the restaurant as a whole. I'd come back, but probably to the bar to get fish and chips. I will say that the price for the pie at $295 for what was ultimately 4 meals between the two of us was eminently reasonable.
