Menu is mainly american barfood (wings, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers...) and a big drinks menu. I just had a snack and drink, some wings with a "Cork Libre". Wings were good and hot, very tasty, lips stinging. The Cork libre is a wee hoot, It's a cuba libre cocktail (rum, lime and coke) but with Tanora instead of coke, and with some stripy red and white straws and a couple of random jellys. All very styled in there, the menu's are in cute penguin style notebooks, ceiling is a painted goose, one of the bar taps is a gooseneck. We enjoyed it anyway. mixed crowd.

You know the drill - my dad's fairly averse to anything that isn't a fish/steak/potato - an old fashioned lunch menu would suit him best. My mother likes to complain about restaurants - a place where the service is good and the presentation's on the ball would be ideal.
