“Well we started off with staying down at the mystic Marriott hotel in spa Looking for some places to eat and we hit Google then Yelp and Ryan's pub came up So we took a drive we couldn't find the place it's actually a little hole in the wall pub/bar next to a smoke shop, the food was excellent we had some bang bang shrimp, I had a bacon barbecue Burger With a couple Of Jack and cokes and my significant other had like a seafood platter & I will say the food was great. I wish I had gotten some pictures of the food as it was the last thing on my mind. The Atmosphere is like a pub/bar & friendly So don't be afraid of that I definitely recommend this place, Hit them up for lunch or dinner But either way I can say the food was awesome better than most restaurants.“
“A non-assuming Irish pub but was greeted by a very welcoming bartender/waitress; this young woman did EVERYTHING!! She was IMPRESSIVE!!! The decor is your typical bar type decoration. The bar was embellished with Irish flags, Irish Quotes, and had bench like seating. We ordered fish and chips, Irish nachos, western burger and Reuben sandwich. All were amazing. We were very pleasantly surprised and was happy with our pick for our lunch spot. Kudos to young lady who handled a room full of patrons and kept a smile on her face. Wish I remembered her name because she deserves and full shoutout.“
“Found this place by accident while waiting for a train, and what a jewel of a find it is. We got there right after it opened and it was quiet, but quickly a few regulars showed up and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. The bartender was nice, funny, and made us feel as welcome as the regulars at the bar too. The decor and just overall vibe was stellar. I can only imagine how great it would be during peak hours with more people and live music. It is on the smaller side, so I can imagine it gets crowded, but that's half the charm of a hole-in-the-wall spot like this“
“The Dutch is a awesome hole in the wall. You would never know this place was here. The place is no bigger than my living room. Great crowd of people and nothing is over 5 bucks on the menu, you can not beat that. If you are in the area you definitely want to give this place a shot.“
“Just tried V's Brick Oven pizza for the first time. WoW! Easy to get to, they make some really good pizzas!!! Not really too busy, so wait was like 20-25 minutes. The Holiday Hawaiian was excellent!!! The pizzas ordered were correct and hot. Nice to have something like V's in the Chesterfield area. Will definitely return for more eats...lots to try.“
“It was packed when we walked in, but they got us a table in under 5 minutes. The wait staff was extremely attentive, and the atmosphere was so warm and cozy on a cold, drizzly night. I loved the way they used the original makeup of the building and just added their own flare. The drink menu was extensive, and the specials were not your ordinary run of the mill. The regular menu wasn't huge either, but the choices were a great selection. I love pub style food and that's exactly what they offered. The onion soup was piping hot when served but delicious along with my Cobb salad. My husband Caesar salad was also delicious and so fresh and crisp, and it was the first time we've ever had crunchy chick peas. They added extra texture to the salad. Our entrees were cooked exactly how we ordered, and the flavors were spot on. We will definitely be heading back for another meal!“
“Our experience with Sunday Brunch was perfect! We ate in the dining room, instead of the bar (see below), and it was cozy and warm with the gas fireplace running. The view is outstanding, with southern views of the water. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive, checking in with us at the right intervals; otherwise just leaving us to enjoy our meals. The food was excellent (lobster benedict and a veggie omelet, both with spicy breakfast potatoes that got our attention!). The drink options are fun and creative. The crowd was small so the patron noise level was low in both the bar and the dining room. However, the live music being performed in the bar was loud. We could hear it in the dining room and the noise level there was fine. But diners should be aware that, if they choose to be seated in the bar when live music is being performed, the noise level could be uncomfortable and difficult for conversation. For others, it might be considered lively and fun.“

“I absolutely loved the cajun chicken sandwich and fries! Our server was awesome! My only complaint (not even a complaint really… well sort of) was the price of their espresso martini- $17… although it was a good drink, to me wasn’t worth $17… it wasn’t as flavorful as I would have hoped! I’ve had better martinis that were at the $12-$13 mark.“
“Excellent! From the outside it may not be everyone's first choice, but I've never been made to feel more welcome in any bar across the world. Shawn (the owner) was excellent company and even took the time to close the tavern to take his 3 British customers on a local tour. Great beers. Great prices. Fantastic welcome. When I want a true American welcome, with genuine people, I will be making a beeline for the Gatehouse Tavern! Thank you.“
