Sadly the food was not up to previous visits. The dry porks ribs were ok but the seafood pasta was bland and greasy. My table mate did enjoy his bread less steak sandwich, but it didn’t come with the cheese as ordered. The staff however were top notch. In short ambiance and staff are great but the kitchen output needs some work.

First we were seated at a table right next to the sports bar, which was incredibly noisy. We asked to move and were then seated in a quieter area. We were served glasses of non-cold water and then waited a good half hour for service. My wife finally trapped a bus boy who found us a waiter. Once she appeared, everything was fine, and up to our usual expectations. She explained that they had a few staff not show up for work that day, and we got lost in the service shuffle. Her service and the food were both flawless.

Good food and great service!

Sticky Wicket has an amazing interior and we love the vibe of the restaurant. Unfortunately, it is very, very busy. We ordered 3 items: Ceasar Salad, Baked Mac n' Cheese and Potato Skins. The Baked Mac n' Cheese was so delicious, it was very cheesy and savoury and the Ceasar Salad complimented the Baked Mac n- Cheese. However, the Potato Skins were deceiving as they looked delicious but were very bland and flavourless. They had no seasoning whatsoever, seriously, a little salt and pepper would've went a long way... Overall, we would come again to try more menu items, just not the Potato Skins.

We popped in here for drink after dinner and what a shabby dump. The bartender was great but can't say for the rest of the place. Lots of beer selection but my glass of white wine was warm. Hubby went to the gents and there was sick all over the stall. Digusting. We left in a hurry and went somewhere else.

Very nice place, clean and tidy. The server was very polite and patient with us and the food was awesome! Can't wait to go there again.

So I’ve been driving by this place for a couple months on my way to work. Today I thought I’d stop in and see what it’s all about. Great pub was able to meet many locals and had a really nice time. I asked the bartender Jordan if he could make me a margarita on the rocks. Not something you would order in an Irish pub. He did a great job higher than my expectations. Looking forward to my next visit.

There were two incredibly kind young gentlemen one named Jordan who went out of his way to find my bag, coat and phone the other dressed in a St. Patrick's costume. I thought I would be homeless for the night but thank goodness for Jordan. One other staff who dismissed me and had me leave the premises without my stuff, very unkind and thoughtless. In the end Jordan is the true hero amazing customer service. I hope I can go back to reward him.

Everyone was happy with their food. Baja bowl, impossible burger, chicken wrap.
