Agree about the yo-yo-ing but the food has been good for several years now. I think it also has wifi should you want it. The Portland is my local (about 50yds away) and it’s great.

It seemed to vary with the landlord and chef, and since visiting was a lottery we stopped going. So good news for locals if it is back on form under new managers, since it has the potential to be a great "local". The new menu looks good on the website, and it looks welcoming too. Will return to give it another try.
