🫤 Over-hyped and underwhelming. From everything that we had seen online it looked as though this was the place to be. The concept and location are very appealing, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. We were seated by a server and then when we went to get our food (self serve) our table was t...

Classic pub setting for beer & lots of whiskey, offering with Scottish-inspired fare & patio dining.

😠 I don't like writing bad reviews but this one should be a warning to others.

Had the buffet breakfast and there was a good variety on the buffet. The plated breakfast looked good, but I didn’t have time...

😠 I will guarantee every review on this restaurant is false advertisement. The food was very bad in about an hr after leaving all our stomachs were in pain. The waitress said it’s the best pizza but my pet fish can make better pizza in its fish tank. Last but not least the waitress was very pushy towa...
