"I was very happy with my Sunday brunch experience at The Liffey. I met some relatives there that live on the other side of the metro. I had asked for a quiet booth, and we were seated at a very nice private booth with curtains. The service and food was fantastic. My family and I enjoyed catching up with each other. I felt that the wait staff was friendly without being invasive."

"The Liffey is a great spot for a bite before heading over to the Xcel Energy Center for a game. We arrived an hour before game time, told the server we needed to be in and out in under an hour, and she made it happen. The service is great and the five 11 year old boys I was with really enjoyed their food. They have a great gluten free menu too!"

"Our family had a early dinner before the Swarm game on a Saturday. I'd heard about this place from a co-worker who said it was great. I made a reservation but there was plenty of open seating. The waitress was a little slow but friendly. I had the spicey chicken and it was fantastic, my husband had the fish and chips and said they were mushy. Looked like a great beer selection. We might go back again but will probably try some of the other restaurants in that area that we've heard about."

"Great food and ambiance. I'd been there prior for a large group and a lunch for 2 and received great food and service both times. The street view is fun to watch and the restaurant is clean and inviting. I'll be visiting again when I'm in the area."
