Great staff and good food

My boyfriend and I are regulars here! They might just have the best food I have ever tasted. They staff is so kind and personable to each and every person who enters. Highly suggest eating here or grabbing a drink at the bar.

Situated in a very cute neighborhood this local eatery has top notch crafted drinks and amazing food. The nacho fries did not disappoint and the Shepherd's Pie was a generous portion of deliciousness.

Super busy but the full house did not impact the service or the quality of the food. I had the Cherry Bomb burger. Great combo! There was great energy and it was a good dining experience. The menu was refreshing because they offer lots of pub staples and many with a delicious twist. BTW, perfect wings- crispy not dry served with a solid blue cheese. The bill was what you would expect. The servers were all trained very well, good service, knowledgeable, attentive, and smart enough to know when to move on. The manager was present but not in the way. Like I said very busy but totally in control. Well done.

Great food and friendly. People.

Visiting family in the area and decided to check this place out based on the recommendations of others. Overall a decent experience. Had a variety of dishes from the menu and no major complaints from anyone. For a "pub" style place, there is a unique menu. The shepherd's pie that I had was pretty good. The drinks are reasonably priced. The service was friendly.

My husband & I had eaten here for the 1st time just prior to the COVID shutdown 2 years ago. We had the delicious Irish Beef Stew with mashed potatoes & vowed we would be back again. We went there 3 days ago & ordered the Irish Beef Stew & it was fabulous! The mashed potatoes on top we’re nice & creamy with pieces of cubed potatoes mixed in. We each ordered a Demi salad made with assorted greens & tomato. There was a variety of dressings from which to choose. I had the Balsamic which was nice & creamy. Portions are generous.Kudos to our Server, Michael who ushered us to pleasant seats by the window. He was pleasant, & kind to all his customers. He checked back with us a few times to make sure everything was OK. He even answered my questions about how this delicious food is made! My beef stew never tastes like this, but now I know to use an expensive cut of meat & Guinnes beer (dark) ?We will be taking our neighbors soon & then my cousins! Oh, the place is comfy & cozy. Bathrooms are wheelchair accessible & nice & clean!

Sheppard pie was one serving!!!It was amazing.

My favorite pub this side of the pond. Fresh, excellent food and best customer service!

My fiancé and I went for a casual fun Friday dinner & night out and we had a BLAST!! The food is DELICIOUS!!! So fresh and the best flavors!!! We had the Irish nachos for an appetizer- TO DIE FOR and burgers for dinner (Gouda burger and cherry bomb)- literally 11/10!! Beers were AWESOME!!! Our server Michael was incredible he was so fun, attentive, and gave the best service- also gave great recommendations for drinks and food. This was such a fun date night spot and we will definitely be back!!
