Editorial Review for The Angel – by Tina Sozen
The Scene
Largely unadorned--not even a single Guinness poster--the Angel exudes a homey farmhouse feel. On any given night an eclectic mix of locals hunker down into velvety booths and handsome tables, while those craving a robust pint claim a stool at the large, centralized bar. Outdoor seating, with characteristic wooden barrels and long tables, is just about perfect on a warm evening.
The Draw
The Angel lures you to an English supper with three sweet words: bangers and mash. Hearty, but not heavy, with plump sausages, creamy mashed potatoes and a light Guinness gravy, the dish is utter satisfaction. In general, the Angel's chef takes pub grub to another level. Other tasty bites include blue cheese crisps with bits of bacon and scallion--a gorgeous complement to an icy cold pint--authentic fish and chips, pan-roasted halibut and lamb roast with couscous.

Unfortunately I found nothing “Angelic” about The Angel in Decatur. Although it was not exceptionally busy, the service was appallingly slow and incompetent. The food was average at best and the kitchen took for-ev-er to prep the simplest of brunch dishes (how can it possibly take an hour and 15 minutes to make toast?!?). To add further insult every neighboring table was seated, served and cleared before some members of our party had even received their entrees. Throughout this entire process Houdini (oops, I mean our waitress) failed to make any appearance or to offer any apologies. It was a monumentally horrible experience and I would rather eat dirt for my next meal than return.
Pros: Patio
Cons: Everything Else

My friends & I really had a horrible experience at this place this weekend - poor service, everything that could go wrong did, with no apologies and tons of excuses. The food is decent, but nothing to write home about, and the menu is extremely limited. No vegetarian options at all, and only 3 or 4 options per course. If you don't want a sandwich, don't bother. We had to beg for refills on our drinks, they screwed up our order and didn't serve one of our party until the rest of us had finished eating, and they took forever to get our check - and then got that wrong too. Really sad considering the venue is well-appointed and they could do great things with it if they tried.
Pros: Nice patio, music isn't too loud
Cons: Horrible service
