I want to start by saying the ambiance and service here is 5 star. Great bar! My espresso Martini was delicious and they had an extensive bar menu available that listed all of their offerings. We ordered the tuna tar tar, wagyu burger, chicken tikka masala, the lamb, & the ribeye. I'll start with the good. Everything tasted delicious. The lamb was amazing, burger was good, as well as the tikka masala. We would definitely go back for the lamb! Probably our favorite dish of the night. The tuna tar tar appetizer was also a favorite. My only complaint is that while the flavor and cook of the ribeye was good, the quality of the meat made it hard for me to believe it was worth the $60 price point. Ribeyes are known for their marbling & tenderness, & the melt in your mouth fatty goodness that you expect from a ribeye just wasn't there. I ordered it medium rare and it wasn't overcooked, but unfortunately the meat was tough and had little to know marbling. The fat that was present was gristly and inedible. I still ate it and enjoyed the flavor but I was disappointed I spent $60 on it.

What up, Deepak, Mr. Armenian! Sorry I'm bad at identifying Indians, Pakistanians, Armenians, but you also proved you couldn't tell Cambodians, Filipinos and Chinese either! ;) Fun guessing game! We are one, human race! 8) He made it fun! We had a great time hanging and banging (with the mash ofc)! Thnx 4 being a cool photog too, btw! I liked my English brunch cocktail. Food was good, nice, chill place. Loved the comfy, huge booth we had, like Bri'ish royalty (working on my accent). The decor is modern and hip, love the clear view of the bar from our booth.

First time here. A coworker had brought this to my attention a few times. She really likes this place. So finally today (02-22-25) my wife and I had lunch here. We both ordered the Fish-n-Chips. Mind you that I already have a "Best Fish-n-Chips meal" mentally, so I hardly order this and the wife never orders this because it's to oily. But we did, and we were both surprised. This came sooooo close to my NEW favorite Fish-n-Chips meal. The only reason why it's not my favorite is because, not enough chips. Kidding Bigger surprise is that the wife thought it wasn't oily at all. Lunch was a good time, not to busy or noisy. Our meal came out quickly. Our server Sulma was very gracious and friendly. I've already texted friends and family about this place. Looking forward to having dinner here real soon.

Modern spot in Lodi. The theme is London. Cute red phone booth reminiscent of all things London. Cute photo opportunity. The bar is stocked with seasonal drinks. Plenty of space and lots of room for everyone. We went on a Saturday night and they were busy but not full. The bartenders were really nice and great about drink recommendations. We ordered the calamari thats was very small in portion and the drinks on the pricey side. We had Margaritas and also Valentines drink that had the bubbles you pop and smoke comes out very trendy. Their parking lot is tiny so you have to look for street parking. We came here before dinner and was a great pre- dinner spot. A variety of people and ages that made for interesting ambiance. 2 couples with 4 drinks and 1 calamari about $200 with tip.

2/17/25 visit for lunch. We thought of choosing full-size entrees which appealed, but decided ultimately to try a few smaller bites from the appetizer list. The cauliflower, bread rolls, scotch eggs, chips and curry sauce and beets salad won the draw. Our gracious and professional server was attentive and helpful with our numerous questions. Lovely lunch visit. Can't wait to return.

Really delicious food! I was really happy and fulfilled with my food choice. The service was nice and quick. Presentation of food and location were giving the vibes of London for sure. As you will find plenty of artifacts based around London. We passed by this location at least 5-6 times over the last few months before stopping in. And I'm glad that we did. They also take reservations for events as well. I found their restroom unique in placement as the stalls are facing each other in the woman's bathroom once seated. But we're also clean. Which to me is of importance when visiting a restaurant and dining out. They also have patio seating in n the roof top and sidewalk seating. They are tucked away in a corner but a small gem once located.

Amazing service .... And I'm so full. We went for a birthday and they treated us impeccably the entire time. Food was great.. you can see the picture and yes they tasted as good as they looked. Give this place a try - you'll leave going "yeah, I'll be back"

We came for an evening drink with friends. It's such a cozy and warm feeling when you walk in. Very welcoming. I really craved a chocolate martini but the bartender explained that he could make one but not like I was expecting because of the chocolate they had. He made a martini from Kahlúa and whatever else. It was so good and the presentation was elegant. Thank you to him for the topper to my evening.

I made reservations ahead of time thinking it would be busy during the week of Thanksgiving. As you walk in, you see a bar with an alcohol bottle backdrop to the left. It's decorated in a London theme, with a London payphone on the left. They sat us in the back on a long table. It felt private as it wasn't in the main dining area. I feel like it took a while to get our drinks in, but once we ordered our food, that came at an expected time. I ordered the spicy shrimp linguine, which was just as expected. Flavorful, with a bit of spice. I really enjoyed it. I heard the salmon was a bit dry. The ribeye could have used more seasoning. The Marsala was good. Overall, I enjoyed my time.
