If you're an Anglophile and you love a beer so thick you could stand a spoon up in your mug, this is the place to soak up both the suds and the British street culture. "Wenches" serve up traditional English fare—fish-and-chips, shepherd's pie (available only at lunch), and the ever-popular bangers and mash (sausage over mashed potatoes). Potato and leek soup or smoked Scottish salmon on a potato cake make good appetizers. Vegetarians will even find a tasty vegetable curry with Italian bread. For dessert try the chocolate Scotch cake or the warm apple crumble with ice cream. If you're not driving soon after the meal, try the Imperial Ale sampler, which includes five 6-ounce glasses for $9.35. The terrace has a splendid view of IllumiNations.

We made a priority seating reservation for this restaurant for two reasons - their covered porch has a respectable view of IllumiNations, and it was my daughter's birthday. So we combined those two elements and made our reservation here. The food was excellent, although I thought we were never going to be seated despite our reservation. Our server brought out a piece of cake with a card for my daughter's birthday dessert which was nice and unexpected. They allowed us to go out and select seats on the deck for the viewing as the deck had been closed due to heavy rain earlier in the evening. The only negative part of the experience - and that depends on your view - was going to the bathroom. The bathrooms are located in the bar section, and to reach them you have to squeeze your way through a bunch of English locals having a rowdy night at the pub. I was sure I would be drenched in beer as I navigated the distance between points A and B, but I made it back to the restaurant section with only a story to tell.
