A little spendy but worth it if celebrating or treating yourself. Order a large kale salad with salmon and an order of fries. Enough for two! If not convinced add a pizza or the crab cakes. But you MUST have the kale salad. It’s that good. I don’t even really care about kale.

Get the burger and an Old Fashioned. Day changer. Fish & Chips excellent too. Not great for vegetarians. But the speakeasy bar downstairs is worth a visit just for a cocktail.
