This restaurant is a great place for family and friends to get away from our daily stress. Great food and drinks and excellent service. Hagan was our server and he made us feel comfortable and at home there. The Irish band was excellent and their interaction with crowd was refreshing. We will be coming back again and again.

Absolutely one of the very best menu's I have seen in a very, very long time. Food was crazy good. Had the best time just reading the extensive culinary menu, staff was top notch. We will be back someday.

What a great meal. The Reuben was incredible, super tender corned beef and you could taste the caraway in the bread. Fries are crispy on the outside and tender inside. The burger was cooked exactly as ordered. Service was fast and friendly, meals came out in no time,will definitely go back.
