Cock and Bull
Inspired by the finest Traditional British Taverns and Ale Houses of yore, at Cock & Bull we aspire to a simple maxim – EAT, DRINK & BE MERRY – all to your heart’s content!
Our menu is influenced by the finest Gastropubs of Great Britain. Using the best local ingredients Chef Mario Arnero creates his interpretation of classic British dishes such as Scotch Eggs, Fish & Chips and Beef Wellington as well as signature dishes using the freshest seasonal produce.
Our bar program has 10 beers on tap, 2 British style Real Cask Ales, a robust wine list, an extensive selection of wines by the glass and fun British themed cocktails.
We will open our doors in June 2012.

"I expected good British food, but this was British in style as refracted through the mind of a non-British (?Italian) chef. This food is truly exceptional; high-quality ingredients beautifully handled and service to match.
I strongly recommend this place. ."

"This is not the place it looks to be in the pictures (which were too tarted-up) or in the write-up. As a neighborhood pub it's fine, but its description promises more than it offers"

"Though Great Britain isn't known for it's food, we thought this would be fun for a pre-theater dinner. Drinks were fine, but my macaroni and cheese dish was not very cheesy. My dining partner's meal of fish and chips was so-so, as the fish was mushy. The meal was very affordable, but not good enough to have us return. The space was beautiful and the wait service was excellent, but the food was simply lacking."

"It was a quiet and comfortable dinner. I was looking forward to dining in a British pub, but the ambiance was unexpectedly devoid of much in the way of obvious British influence. The imported beer selections were substantial, and the waiter was very helpful in deciding between the unique brews. The shepherd's pie is the Americanized version, served with beef instead of lamb, but is still tasty. I'd like to return and try some of the other items, especially the bacon-wrapped meatloaf."

Even the Mac n cheese was not kid friendly.
Our waiter was extremely good. I wish all waiters

"No words can describe how wonderful my dining experience was . The servers were friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. They were attentive with out being intrusive, everything a great server should be me being a server myself i aspire to be every bit as great as our server was. The food was absolutely phenomenal and brought out in a timely manner. The communication between the staff was excellent and they pay great attention to detail as i had specific request for my reservations. I will definitely return!"
