Lots of families coming in for lunch. We arrived just after they opened and everything looked and smelled clean. I got the lamb stew which was OK. Hubby got meatloaf with Jameson sauce and that was FANTASTIC. Server was very friendly and accommodating. Loved the atmosphere and how everything was decorated. Definitely recommend.

One of our go to spots. Went here for our daughters christening party, great service. Everyone 30 people had great things to say. Wife loves salmon, brother in law loves the JD sauce. I like the meatloaf a lot. Service is always top tier.

Im not Irish but have spent serval weeks there. This place is nicer than any I visited there. The Guinness is closer to fresh than any other bar Ive been to in the states. Excellent place to go for a pint. Happy hour price is also a plus.

I like the ambuance inside, its a bit dark and intimate dinner time. My favourite is their Irish Pesto Pasta, which you can choose the meat you want it to come with, or can be vegetarian. ...
