Food is not bad at all though probably a bit pricey. Service and athmosphere are both very enjoyable.
Selection of craft beers is the best in town.

I’ve tried to eat here a few times but it has always been empty at lunchtime and there are no staff out front to greet you so I’ve usually just given up. I needed to book dinner for a big group so I thought House would be good because of it’s size. When I went to book I had the same problem though, there were no staff to be seen anywhere. After waiting for a while the chef came out and took my booking. The food was good, and the one waitress who was working was very friendly but everything was slow. The food, our drinks, even clearing the plates took longer than it should. I recommend they get more staff on and have a front of house person because nothing is worse than walking in to a restaurant and not knowing whether you sit yourself, order at the bar or wait to be seated.

Had our Engagement Party here last year. Started off brilliantly with the Manager being so lovely they even matched some money on the bar for us… Finger Food was great and brought out at perfect times. the only thing that let them down was there was no-one to stop or keep a eye on drunk idiots coming up and interfering with our private function, to one point when I asked a guy (that was not invited) to leave he was violent and ripped my partners shirt buttons off. The Manager informed she would pay us back for the shirt as the staff did not step in to help in time but never heard anything back from them. Would go back however as has a real nice relaxed and comfy atmosphere.

I like this place quite a bit, and frequent it often. I need that selection of beer to keep me going. The food is perfectly good bar food, if on the expensive side. For the price you pay, this place is not good at high-volume times and can be irritating. Regardless, the beer selection and the friendliness of the staff make up for all of that, and I really enjoy my sunny afternoon drinking on the porch!

Had lunch there recently, pretty average food, nothing to rave over, but staff are very friendly.
