simple food done well – It's not the most adventurous, it's not the most in--your-face, but it's arguably some of the best food in North Park. There's a lot to be said for simple food, cooked well, and served in a friendly dining room. I've been twice, and each time had gracious staff experiences, knowledgable beer/wine pairings and, on the menu, we love the burger, the cheese board and the fish and chips. The patio seems to be more popular for seating, but I totally prefer the cozy inside tables.

I don't want to give a poor review, but here it is anyway. – Let me first start by saying that everyone who worked there last night was very pleasant. It is with a heavy heart that I have to write a negative review. Upon arrival we were greeted quickly enough and offered drinks as we waited for a table. Then we waited, and waited, and waited, 40 minutes to be exact. They forgot about us, or more specifically the host forgot about us, when we went to go check on our table for the second time, we finally got seated at a table ... read more

Euro beer, great shepherds pie, fun night – The staff was friendly and groovy. The cute waitress had geek chic glasses and knew about the beers. The fish/chips were great, the hamburger was...a hamburger... the shepherds pie was great. Belgian beer on tap, delicious! Good lighting and low but not quiet volume level. It's not as close as my 'usual' so this will still be my alternate pub and it's not cheap, but otherwise this is my new favorite. Try it out.

Average food; below average service – A group of us, 4 to be exact went there last night for dinner. This is the first time for us to visit this place and we were quite excited given the good reviews that we've read. Upon entering, we were impressed with the simple but tasteful set-up of the place. It really evoked an old pub feeling. The food was in itself disappointing. We ordered the scampi (shrimps were overcooked) and the sauce was limp, to say the least (it tasted vinegary and lacked that garlic ooomph). The onion ring... read more

Wash down a gourmet shepherd's pie with dark German lager in this gothic North Park gastropub. – In Short On a quiet North Park corner, the tavern's lanterns and heavy wood patio allude to the cozy, Old World atmosphere inside. The pub's food sounds standard--burgers, onion rings, mashed potatoes--but the restaurant prides itself on finding ingredients from sustainable and ethical suppliers. The bar serves up bottled beers from across Europe as well as local brews on tap, plus a decent wine list by the bottle or glass.
