Great Irish pub, neighborhood spot. Cocktails are really well done. Fish and chips were top notch, my infant son loved his mashed potatoes, and my wife loved her salmon. 10/10 winner here.

After reading several reviews about this place, I decided to stop in for brunch. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the bartender/server Micah, and I was seated immediately. Even though the place is small, it has a real charm to it.

I ordered the cheeseburger, and it was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The fries were good, too, but a bit on the crispy side. The bartender makes a really good Bloody Mary as well to accompany my meal.

They have a good food (brunch) and drinks menu and everything is priced reasonably. Since the weather is still warm, they also have seating outside.

Overall, this restaurant is such a nice little addition to the Windsor Terrace neighborhood, and I look forward to dining here again in the future.

Fantastic neighborhood spot; we've enjoyed brunch (Irish breakfast and corned beef hash were authentically hearty) and dinner here and everything tasted delicious. The chicken pot pie and beef stew were rich and skillfully prepared...cocktails were creative and refreshing, as was the Irish coffee. The service is stellar, we were very well taken care of by the attentive staff. Rounded things off with the Guinness chocolate cake, which was perfectly balanced by the cream filling. Couldn't ask for better, hope to enjoy meals here for years to come.

I was hoping for a solid unpretentious neighborhood spot and instead i found the opposite.
I really wanted to like it since it was the new spot in Windsor Terrace, a neighborhood that really needs a good restaurant and instead it proved to be a spot i have no interest in going back to.
The service especially was what was surprising. Not particularly friendly or helpful and the food is average.
Bummer!

Great place for a brunch with family. Bottomless mimosas and good food is what you need some Sundays!

They should do a mussels special (mussels, pomme frites with a beer or glass of wine) one night a week.

Annoyed we didn't discover this hidden gem sooner! Recently opened in Windsor Terrace, we came by for a quiet lunch. Refreshing to sit in a Brooklyn restaurant that doesn't look like every other hipster Brooklyn restaurant. It reminds me of a modern UK-style chophouse or coastal seafood joint, with elegant decor and lots of natural light. It's classy yet cozy and has plenty of outdoor seating. Menu has great options for both food and drinks, and the dishes are prepared thoughtfully. I was craving Fish & Chips and theirs is served with hand-cut fries and both tartar and malt vinegar (essential!). The dessert was too big to finish so we took it home. Service is warm and welcoming!

Vegetarian options: A few vegetarian options!

Parking: Lots of street parking on the quiet blocks surrounding.

Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly and have a kids menu!

Terrible food. My eggs were burnt, soggy mush that was supposedly “eggs Benedict.” none of the food came out at the same time, and took forever. Save your money.

Never like to speak poorly about a local business but want to warn people: if you or your kids have food allergies, do not go here. Was excited to try it as it looked cute walking by. Went with a friend, immediately informed them of my allergies (nuts and sesame), then we ordered a starter salad which did not list any nuts on the menu (it listed all the other ingredients of the salad). Server comes out with salad, poke around a little and it looks like there's a layer of nuts. I flag her down (mistakes happen, I get it), and tell her about it. She apologizes and says they'll remake the salad. About ten minutes later it comes out again, there are no visible nuts and I eat some. Instantly I know something's wrong; my friend and I dig, and there are several nut pieces mixed through--not a cross-contamination thing; it was just fully in the dish. Had to leave immediately to seek treatment. They got an earful from me on the way out, and hopefully this will make them rethink their practices. But both on the front- and back-of-house side they are not aware of what's in the dishes. I don't expect every restaurant to be able to accommodate allergens, but I do expect them to tell me that they can't handle it and to either order something else (from the get-go no one told me where would be nuts in the salad) or to go to a different restaurant. Oh, and despite it being a Saturday night, we were the only table eating dinner so it wasn't a busy issue (I've also worked in restaurants and get it).

The space is beautiful and I was really excited before they opened. Then it was like, just meh. I feel like this place is trying to be something it's not. There's a real sense that they want this to be fine dining, but that doesn't feel consistent with the neighborhood. (Get those wine glasses and place settings off the bar!) Having the staff wear white shirts seems overly forced; you can tell who the owner is and it all seems too pretentious and tense. I don't know, there's just something inauthentic about the whole place.

Amazing twist on classic pub food. Waitress was very friendly

Pretty good Irish food. The chicken nuggets are house made and even have herbs in them. The black pudding is very good too. My wife didn’t even know it was pig blood she was eating. The butter is excellent. The scallops are perfectly cooked. The fries are excellent and still have the peel (which I prefer). Has all the classic Irish dishes and they are very well done.

Kid-friendliness: There are high chairs and a kid’s menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: The entrance has a ramp.
