Yes, all 5 stars most of the time. I crave the curry and stack of onion rings. They are a hidden gem with great drinks and dessert.

Tasty lamb burger 🍔 and onion rings. Would have preferred the dining room atmosphere but unfortunately family member making the reservation chose the bar.

Beautiful Irish tavern. Generous size fish and chips. The chef really cares about his food and recipes, it shows.

This place was called the Griffith Tavern for many years. I had always enjoyed stopping for lunch there.

With new ownership and a new name there could be a decline in the food quality or service. I'm happy to report they are still a great place! The service was very good as well as the food. The beer cold and delicious i will stop again when i'm in that area

If this review was helpful to you please give it a thumbs up.

Came here for dinner after proposing to my now fiance! Made the reservation that morning and they were so accommodating to the last minuate request and made our experience so unbelievably special. All of the staff was so friendly and the exceptional food made for an unforgettable evening. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!!!

Pretty darn good! Not over the top but a constant Goto for us. A little short unserviced sometimes but all in all for a local restaurant and local food options, this is pretty darn good!

We stopped in on our drive through town with our 2 children and sat outside because it was a beautiful day. The children enjoyed exploring the garden and seeing all of the bees and flowers. The food was excellent. We ordered the crab cake sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, a grilled cheese and a vegan burger. The sides were fantastic - broccolini, sweet potato fries, thick Irish fries, and strawberries. Every plate was delicious.

We came here as a small get together with my family, to include my indecisive toddler, and the staff were beyond accommodating for us. There was live music the night we went, which my daughter loved. Drinks came out with great timing, even when my husband ordered one last minute. My dad greatly enjoyed his dark horse burger and beer. My sister and husband both got fish and chips, which really had a great, crispy breading to them. I wasn't in a meat entree mood, so I got the vegetable curry, which I was pleased with. Being an Irish version, it's obviously not going to be exactly like at an Indian restaurant, but I really liked the green onion in it. Pricing we found to be reasonable for the area, and honestly is what we would have paid at a big chain sit down restaurant. It was a rainy day when we came so we wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor seating. Between the food and atmosphere, my husband and I definitely plan on coming back.
