Food-wise, it’s reliable but plays it pretty safe. You’ll get solid, well-cooked British and European classics, the steaks and Sunday roasts are always a safe bet—but it's not going to blow your mind with anything groundbreaking. Just keep in mind that it can get pretty loud when it's packed, and it's definitely on the pricier side for what it is.
