"We were a table of 12 celebrating a special occasion. Our drinks came in spurts. Food was delivered fairly quickly. Restaurant very busy and everybody seemed to be enjoying themselves. Even with a reservation we had to wait."

"Corned beef and cabbage doesn't equal sliced lunch meat and underdone cabbage. I hate to be picky but I did taste this the following day. Beer was good, though. So was waitstaff."

"I would definitely suggest this little place. Been there multiple times, and every time the service has been topnotch and the food delicious. Almost always there is live entertainment in the form of Traditional Celtic melodies to modern adaptations. This is also a great place to get a Guinness."

"Food was lousy. Had the meatloaf which must have been made several days ago.....gray and dry. Bread was dry with only 1 pat of butter for 4 pieces. Mashed potatoes could nbe lifted in one solid piece. Waste of money!"

"Great food, good service, need earplugs if you expect to really enjoy yourself. Way too loud inside, trying to carry on any conversation other than sign language is impossible. I have seen this complaint on other reviews so I would expect the management to take this issue as something that could help the business flourish."

"Food was just okay. Good wine and beer selection. Pleasant and very amiable server. But, music/noise level was much too loud. Almost impossible to speak over it to the person sitting next to you. After we ate our dinner, the four of us couldn't wait to leave, just because of the noise level, otherwise might have stayed for another drink or dessert/coffee. Everyone in the restaurant trying to speak over the loud music made it almost unbearable to be there. We brought friends who were from England, so they could enjoy a pub, but although they liked the food, they said you'd never find a pub that noisy across the pond... so none of us will probably return again because of this."

"Food was great and reasonably priced! The potato leek soup was delicious and taste homemade. Great variety of beers on tap....including Harp, Smithwick, and Bluemoon. Would befinitely go back...it's better than going to some chain restaurant like applebees or TGIFridays."

"Always great food here. Something for everyone. I had the oysters and clams as an appetizer and the portabello mushroom with mozzarella and mashed potatoes for dinner. Also had the specialty belgian beer. While they were really busy, they had my table reserved so when I got there, we were seated right away."
