Had a early Father's day dinner with my Wife and Two Daughters. First impression was the place was empty. Only one other couple at 6:45PM. Our waiter was attentive and pleasant. We had the Irish Nacho's which were very good. All our meals were good, burgers cooked to order. The Flat bread pizza was very good, so was the chicken wrap. I had a pasta dish with corned beef shavings. It was ok, just ok. Overall our food was fine. But I didn't get any Irish feel. No music in the background and it should have been cleaner. The place had that latenight, College drink till you get stupid smell from the night before. There was a uncovered DJ table in the booth with garbage on the floor. The kitchen door was propped open showing a typical restaurant kitchen, I'm sure there was no chef or owner on premises. The upstairs dinning room still had chairs stacked on the tables, lending to the disarray look.
I was in the business, and have been to Ireland multiple times. If you are going for the Irish atmosphere at least stream some Irish music. Overall all I would go back and hope for a better experience.
