We loved the different places to sit and it had lots of TV's for watching games. Our waiter started out pretty good but that's where it stopped. It took almost 30 minutes to get two burgers. No one bothered to refill our water or see if we needed another drink. Asked a few times right after our food arrived about how things were tasting but paid zero attention to the drinks. And then we continued to wait....gave up on any more drinks and finally went to the bar to get our ticket. The longer we waited the more disappointed we became. Now to be fair, our server was also the bartender. Not that the bar was really slammed.... Even so, you would think that the manager would come around and help. But he did not. And he knew this was our first time coming there. So at the end he asks what we thought. We said it was overall ok. The food tasted good but the services were lacking. He made an excuse and told us to come back again and they would take good care of us. First off, they won't remember us. And if you barely acknowledged the experience we had tonight, WHY would we come back??? I would give the food around 4 stars but the service a 2 and our overall experience a 3.

I saw that a local influencer visited this place and thought we would give it a try. The food he…read moreposted looked pretty good, so why not? We arrived at 7:31 pm made our way into the bar. We were pretty much immediately greeted and told that we can sit where we'd like. We found a table and had a seat. The waitress took our drink order and went to go do her thing. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes later she came back with our drinks at last. I always hate eating dinner at places that are primarily a bar because the service is usually terrible and that's pretty much how it went with our visit. 45 minutes after ordering our food , we were still waiting on it, even our appetizer, and our drinks were in a constant state of needing a refill with the waitress nowhere to be found. I planned to have a couple mixed drinks while I was there, to try some different things, so they literally lost money by not coming back to the table to check on us. I didn't have the opportunity to order more drinks. The food finally arrived. My sad potato with chicken was nothing special and was pretty small for the price. My husband didn't like his food. I can't recall what he got. The manager was nice when he swung by, but by the time he came, the damage was already done. The whole visit was disappointing. We won't be back. This place really hasn't changed from what it was before they changed names and ownership. It was disappointing before and it remains so.

We came for the fish and chips they everyone raved about on the reviews. We ended up getting the seafood sampler. We stated off with a small salad and French ok ion soup. Took quite a bit of time before we got either. Once we got the food the soil was good, the salad was just a salad. We were disappointed in the seafood. It was way over cooked, the shrimp was tough and the fish had no flavor. The Cole slaw tasted like someone had just sliced the cabbage and put it in a bowl.

Enter The Grotto west coast food. Since I lived on the west coast for 40 years I thought it was appropriate that I come to judge the West coast authenticity. This place is awesome. My friend had a Baja bowl that looked and smelled divine and I had the steak Gorgonzola salad, the meat portion was huge and the candied pecans were delicious. I might even bring my super judgmental west coast rude family here since I think even they would be pleased at how delicious the food was. We sat in a comfy booth and loved every bite of our meal, the balsamic vinaigrette was the perfect complement to the savory steak and sweet pecans. I can't wait to go back to the grotto

The location itself was very clean and staff were going through table by table and cleaning everything (I was shocked because it was already very clean).

Every detail feels intentional, from the food to the service to the overall experience. You can tell it's run by people who genuinely care about what they're doing, and it shows every single time. The menu leans a bit British at times -- you'll see things like bangers and mash -- but more than anything, it's just relentlessly high-quality food done right. I've been going here for years, and it never slips. That kind of consistency is rare. It also strikes a great balance: arguably the nicest restaurant in town, but still comfortable enough that you don't feel out of place in a t-shirt. If you're in Springfield and want the best overall dining experience, this is it.

If you're on the hunt for the best Scotch eggs around, this place is an absolute must. We…read moreunexpectedly went on a scotch egg tour this week. I will not drag the competition, but Dublin's Pass was the clear winner. I won't use specifics, but you get so much more bang for your buck, purely from a financial aspect. Let me first say, the eggs arrive on a plate with a light breading that adds the perfect balance of crunch yet balanced with the soft egg. All brought to you with a mustard that is the perfect combination of pickled veg and punchy mustard. The meat was cooked perfectly. The combination between the meat, egg and mustard marry one another beautifully to lend to a flavor roller coaster in your mouth. What really sets these Scotch eggs apart is the attention to detail. They taste like they are meant for a flavor rollercoaster. Each element feels intentional. Whether you're a longtime Scotch egg lover or trying one for the first time, this restaurant sets the bar high. Simply put: these are the Scotch eggs other places should be aspiring. Eggs aside, we also had an order of the boneless wings. Not a hard thing to get right, but we had roasted garlic parmesan with garlic aioli, to die for. I am from out of town, and this place is absolutely a must. It will never not be on to do list.
