The server was very fast and friendly. The food is hearty, wholesome, and very Irish (at least to an ignorant American). The seafood soup du jour was so rich and creamy we were all sad when it was gone. The mussels were swimming in equally thick cream and wine sauce which is a treat on its own... and great to dip chips in! The haddock is breaded perfectly and roast beef Sandwich was savory heaven. All in all, this is a great spot for a bite!

Nice grub at a fair price. Some dishes better than others, highlights being the Brie and Lamb Shank. Fish was only fair and chips weren’t great, just average.
Staff were good and attentive. Walks in! Only thing bad was music was way too loud.

Visited this restaurant and wanted to share my experience — it has a lovely atmosphere with friendly and welcoming staff! Special shoutout to Tara. Such a lovely lady.
We were a group of 10, and our meals were served almost all at once (just a few minutes apart), which was very reasonable.

The chicken wings were extremely delicious — worth coming back for just those! I had the steak, cooked medium, and it was delicious. Others in our group also had steak, beet burger or the beef cheeks, and everyone was very pleased with their meals.

Highly recommended!
