   Reviews and photos on Google made it seem as if this would be a little more elevated than it was. That’s my fault ultimately, but food was priced at a more upscale restaurant when quality and proportions (ie heavy pasta, light on protein) were similar to a chain. It was a cold night, they kept leaving the main door open, which was near where most patrons that evening were sitting. We all had to keep reminding them to close it and keep our coats on to eat. Again, I may not have read closely enough because it was definitely an Irish pub (not what I felt it was marketed as or I would not have selected that for a date night) with a menu of 1-2 items per cuisine (ie Italian, Indian, Irish, etc). Was just a little disappointing overall.

   Don't go here. Based on the reviews on Google, this must have been a good place at one time. Maybe it has just gone downhill or is under new management, but I had a terrible experience here. First, when we walked in, I could smell sewer gas. But it's in an old building, and I know that can happen sometimes, so I dismissed it. The hostess sat us at the tiniest table even though several larger tables were open, so we asked if we could be seated elsewhere. (Just so you know, this was around 8 PM on a Wednesday night, and they were not busy at all.) So we got reseated, and everything seemed okay. But the hostess ended up being our server. She took our drink order and then asked us if we knew what we wanted to eat. We said, "We're still looking." She kind of rolled her eyes and walked away. She came back two more times before we received our drinks and asked, "Do you know what you want yet?" When she brought us our drinks, we ordered an appetizer. (Pretzel with cheese dip and mustard, which was okay but very greasy.) After delivering the appetizer, she came over FOUR times and asked again, "Do you know what else you want yet?" In those words. I'm going to guess that it only took us maybe 15 minutes from the time we were seated to order our entrees. That shouldn't be unreasonable or unusual. The food... my husband got the chicken rigatoni, which was okay but nothing special. I got the Irish stew. It had so much oil on the surface – I literally scooped five large spoonfuls of grease off it. And it was full of fat globs. There was such a large piece of fat in it that I actually thought it was a piece of bread. Okay, now let me tell you about the bathrooms... SO DIRTY. There is tile on the floor and matching tile on the walls. The grout on the floor is black, and the grout on the walls is white. The floor drain was so filthy with grease and goo. The ceiling vent had "fur" on it. The ceiling tiles were moldy. I recommend skipping this place.

   Their front door was broken so it was a bit cold while eating. The service was wonderful, however the food was good, just different. I ordered a shepherds pie, which was tasty, but more like a Tex mex shepherds pie. My husband ordered Chilaquiles, which was really just a couple eggs on top of tortilla chips. Good, but, different.

   From the time I reserved the spot and my crew was seated the service was excellent. The entire vibe was excellent. I will be returning to this restaurant again. Gonna try the lunch menu this time.

   Seated next to kitchen and music from kitchen was loud and conflicting with the Christmas music. Steaks were all overcooked. Shrimp no seasoning. Steak salad was taken off bill as it was grizzly overcooked no seasoning and gross looking. Bread pudding was ok.

   It was just okay. The service wasn’t great, the food wasn’t great so ultimately I feel like it was overpriced.

   Great atmosphere, but restaurant was out of many items from liquor to food. And tacos are $24. Not worth the price. Service was slow. Food served somewhat cold. Could be a great place with improvements. We were the only.patrons from 5 - 7ish.

   This place was more than disappointing. First of all I ordered a specialty coffee the waitress came back and said they were out of kahlua so I ordered an Irish coffee with Bailey’s and then they were out of that . In addition, I only wanted the coffee because it was very very cold in the restaurant. We went ahead and ordered food I ordered a hamburger and guess what they were out of those as well . Service was friendly I felt bad for the waitress having to keep coming back and say they were out. We decided to leave . We did not dine there . And will NEVER return

    Overall the dining Was Mediocre at best. Under staffed and it shows But the staff they do have works hard and provides a decent dining experience given the circumstances.
