★★★★★ 5.0 Bill Green · Mar 2026

Had the Sunday Brunch here. First off we were welcomed by the hostess Cora who was very sweet and funny. She talked with us a bit while something opened up. Our server was excellent, very attentive and nice. Lastly, our food was very good and the brunch has something for everyone.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Chris K (Crispy) · Oct 2025

Our server, Colin, was excellent. He said he'd only been there a couple weeks and had never been a waiter before. I was totally surprised. All I can say is, he takes to it like a duck to water! Honestly, he was like a veteran at it. He was confident, charming, efficient, attentive, engaging, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Seriously, ask for this young man the next time you're there and you'll have a great experience. For dinner my spouse had the fish and chips that were delicious and a cup of French onion soup that was adequate flavor wise. She had her share of leftovers. I had the cheese pierogi w/smoked Polish sausage and red cabbage, which was pretty good. I also had a cup of leek soup that didn't have any in it, but was heavy on potatoes, bacon, cheese and some green onions. Per

★★★★★ 5.0 Emily Everard · Jan 2026

Really enjoyed this restaurant, it had a great vibe very welcoming and wholesome. The food was super good and for a good price! Portion sizes were good too. Our server was super nice and helpful he seemed like he was handling both our table and the bar so for that the service wasn’t maybe the fastest but after living in Spain for two years I appreciated the pace in a different way… we didn’t feel rushed and we were able to enjoy our meal over good conversation. The server was also super aware and even gave us a complimentary dessert because that was the only thing that maybe took a little longer than expected. Again we were in no rush and I appreciated the good food and good service! 5 stars all around

★★★★☆ 4.0 Petra Choi · Nov 2025

I’m giving this a four because my sister’s enjoyed their food more than I did. One of them got the grilled salmon. One of them got fish and chips. I got shepherds pie with my entrée was just mediocre. The filling was kind of bland and the Mashed potatoes were thin in texture.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Creative Trivets Too! Mike & Molly Gregory · Dec 2025

Tried an Irish Pub in a new town for us. We got a table quickly with no reservation.The flavors were spot on. The service was great, the menu had many choices. We chose Irish Boxties for an appetizer, Irish stew, and Mum's Meatloaf. Unfortunately, the potato cakes were thin, and over powered with the filling. The Irish stew only had three pieces of meat, but a lot of stew gravy. And the meatloaf needed more gravy. All the food was good, but proportions were off. Not a bad experience by any means, but could have been a better.
