"A great Irish pub with fantastic food. The service is amazing...Michelle was our server and she was fantastic. We were a group of 12 for brunch and management and staff were super attentive. Going to make this a weekly spot!"

"Went there for Valentines dinner as veteran married couple with a kid, and it was great. We had to wait for a minute to get our reservation but they were great about it. The waitstaff was generous and attentive, and the holiday menu was expansive and properly priced. Although my husband didn't enjoy the food he ordered, the waiter, Billy was very sorry & attentive and accommodating.
We enjoyed the live pianist, and the overall atmosphere of community.
I went there for lunch for my birthday the month before and insisted to go there for this special occasion.
I wasn't disappointed. Cheers!!!

"Our "go to" place when we decide to eat out at the last minute. Always reliable and comfortable, and the food is surprisingly better than typical "pub fare.""
