    We had a delightful lunch. The food was very good and loved the french fries ! Coffee was as fresh and delicious. Our waitress was attentive but not intrusive.  She had just refilled my coffee cup and I commented how much I like the coffee. Unfortunately, we had to leave unexpectedly. I really appreciated that she  give me a to go cup!  Such thoughtfulness is unusual these days. She was really terrific.

    Very nice pub. Food and service were delicious! Only reason why I didn’t give it five stars is that the tables are very close to each other, so the noise level can be quite loud.

    The hostess was the most unfriendly, unwelcoming person. We actually felt like we were inconveniences to her by showing up . She walked us to our table and placed the menus down and walked away without a word. I guess she had to get back to reading her kindle 😳 Our waiter Matt was polar opposite, with his smile and welcoming manner. Dinner ended up being delicious. Steak tips , drunken clams w amazing Irish soda bread . I had the shepherds pie yum and my husband had the French dip . Matt was accommodating and professional! We will give it another go ….

    Made a 7:PM for 5 people. Got rushed out at 8:30. Food was so so. Corn beef was very dry ! Burgers sucked ! Why take a 7:pm reservation for 5 and then rush us out ?

    I love this place. It's warm, welcoming, great food, decent prices without breaking the bank, good drinks. It's a place that you can meet friends and have a good meal and some drinks and carry on a conversation without having to scream over the noise level. The service is wonderful, from the welcoming hostess to the service staff. Her timing and suggestions were perfect. It is a local gem that I will continue to frequent. I highly recommend. It is truly a local gem.

    Jude was the perfect server! The pre-appetizer appetizers were a treat. Loved the Reuben Tots - should be on the regular menu. The Steak Bites and Chicken Wings were first rate, as usual.
