Authentic Irish! Amazing Brunch and fare! If you want to go for a beautiful food and beautiful people, this place is for you! The variety of music and friendly faces, as well as other activities and specials that they offer on a regular basis is an extra bonus! My favorite was the personalized Guinness foam! Oops and I almost forgot the absolutely delicious apple bread, pudding with caramel sauce! Jordan was our waiter. He was fabulous!

What a great late lunch spot while we were staying in the area. A fellow transplant patient like my husband recommended to us as they were so accommodating and they did not disappoint . It was our first real approved outing after his double lung transplant . The Guinness casserole was the best we had ever eaten . I had the salmon wrap which was also just as delicious .It was honestly just great service , chill vibe and the food was fantastic . We came back to the Gift of life...read full review
