Yummy pub food, convenient location. I have no pic, but I had the between the sheets cocktail and it was yummy! My group had a pretzel, fish and chips and sliders. They were all very good. The pretzel had a nice crunchy exterior and a chewy middle the dips were very good too. Fish and chips was seasoned well, the batter was nice and crisp and not thick and greasy. The sliders were my favorite. The sweet onions and pickle relish was so tasty and yet they didn't overpower the angus beef. I prefer the shoe string over the steak fries.
I was downtown in San Jose and needed a quick lunch before jumping on a call. I saw "The Britt" open and hopping, so I decided it would be a good option to try out. So, they're set up to deal with seated folks (unique menu QR codes at each table) abc no place marked for takeaway, after getting a fellow's attention, he quickly got me a menu and took my order fir Fish and Chips. He did give me an accurate tune, but no waiting place to sit besides taking over one of the tables. For ToGo, I was a bit taken aback by the total, but n outrageous. I was able to pay touch less and this was good since the next time I saw him, he had my food ready in a box. He then got me a bag and I was on my way. I was sad to arrive at my desk finding no napkins, tartar sauce, vinegar packets, etc. for what I just paid. The Fish and Chips were very tasty, but the Take Out process is lacking the quality that should be second nature given how recently we left COVID-19 lockdown. I would hope their delivery does a better job of the side pieces which are part of the overall product. Looks like they're shifted into caring only about sit down guests at the moment, at least fir lunch.
This is the first review for this revived and remodeled restaurant! This is not your normal Britannia Arms. First of all, the interior is beautiful. The booths are my favorite part. Each one has a tv and the decor is very classy. They have made the place very open and contemporary. There is also an open patio area with a big screen tv. The food: we ordered apps or " shareable". Street corn, brussel sprouts and the crab cakes were a treat. The crab cakes were not heavy and greasy- very light with some veggies. I couldn't get enough of those! I am looking forward to returning and trying their cocktails and entrees. Very excited for concerts and games to return. This venue is walking distance to SAP.
