Honest review about how I feel. Even slept on it.
Food was meh, and definitely not worth the price from a flavor and execution standpoint. Love that they're going for making most things from scratch but they really need to refine the dishes. Our onion rings (Ogre rings) had mushrooms in them most likely because theyre using the same bowls to coat everything ahead of frying. It also didn't taste like anything was seasoned. Very bland. They're definitely headed in the right direction with the new menu, however, they also need to figure out Togo orders. Food was delivered in a liquor box lol, and none of the sauces had lids so everything we ordered was covered in mustard/ranch/tartar etc. And even if they weren't, literally everything was soggy. This is due to not timing dishes correctly, so some dishes clearly sat in the window longer than others. Ex: The Wyvern Wings were warm, while the Fish and chips and Ogre Rings were cold. I'd blame it on the batter theyve chosen but my fries were soggy even when they werent covered in tartar. Definitely not the drivers fault here, and we are avid DD users (like 3 times a week for 4 years)...plenty of restaurants deliver crispy fried food over much longer distances (less than a mile) and make their food from scratch. Just poor planning/execution overall. Maybe under experienced kitchen crew? We'll try them again later this year. Hopefully they'll have ironed things out by then, we recommend giving them some time, as they are definitely working through it and will probably be awesome in about 6 months.

1/5 stars: Vampire Slayer Fries are soggy and have literally NO GARLIC. Like not light on garlic, there is NO GARLIC to be seen or tasted.
4/5: Ogre Rings fried to a crisp in a light batter, would give 5/5 if it werent for the slight bitterness and over salting.
Overall: 3/5 stars, would eat here again with the condition that the Vampire Slayer Fries be actual garlic fries

The stew was greasy with only 2 baby carots for the vegetables and the meat was fatty. They didnt follow the instructions for my order on the app. I do not recommend

Tavern stew was nothing like pictured, watery with one piece of meat in it, insanely disappointing for nearly 20 bucks.
