This restaurant is 30 years old. I love this pub. It is family owned and all I can say is the food is delicious and staff are friendly. I really enjoyed my steak tips with eggplant fries! Who knew eggplant fries could taste so good!? Wings were fresh and good and dessert was Irish soda bread with whiskey sauce! Yum! Love the pub ambiance. I look forward to returning soon!

Great service and atmosphere, food was just ok and overpriced. Host and servers were extremely attentive and let us sample a few beers to find the right one. My pastrami sandwich was not great, the meat felt low quality. The spicy fries were very good. Even though I liked the inside, I'd honestly much rather go to virgilios next door which has better prices and food.

Neighborhood Irish pub with good food and exceptional service. Nicely decorated with lots of handcrafted wood, historic photos, and a bit of café lighting. I'd definitely return, but during the week as weekends were too busy together a table on the first visit. There is free parking but it's not plentiful.

Very good local Irish pub. Tastefully decorated. Truely excellent service. Very good seafood cakes and schrod. Very crowded on weekends, it took us multiple tries to get in for dinner. Would definitely return.Parking: Small lot on site, most parking on street.

Been here many times. Last weekend they had a Guinness float that was amazing, with vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and candied pecans. Had the corned beef ravioli it was unreal. Check it out people you will come back again!

Best service ever! The fish and chips are great and you've got to try the eggplant fries! This restaurant is great for a casual night out.

Very disappointed at the quality,portions,and value.Ordered $23.00 Turkey tips and caesar salad not impressed.Iceberg lettuce with little creativity and small cubes of flavorless turkey tips.

It's an Irish pub in every sense. Great burgers and Guinness drafts. Friendly staff. Lots of locals.

If you love Irish pubs, then you will be home. Great service! I only gave 4 stars on food because it was salty. I didn't notice it while eating, it was much later when I was thirsty and drinking a lot of water before bedtime.Parking was a bit challenging.
