Had the lamb burger with fries and was amazing! The food selection here is very unique and def. stands up to foods of the Irish culture. Waiter was very nice and the atmosphere was very relaxing having live music behind us most of the meal. Great place overall.

I've tried this place numerous times and it's always a disappointment. Every 6 months I try again hoping that things will improve but there's always something new to disappoint me. The shepherd's pie is terrible; No flavor and uncooked crunchy parsnips. I'm bewildered as to why they've won the best corned beef and cabbage in the WMUR poll.

They put us at a table at first that was clearly too small for our group. So 20-25 minutes or so after being there, another group left, we hadn't gotten any appetizers or anything yet, so they moved us across the dining room to that table. The service was horrible! We had to ask and then wait multiple times for refills on our drinks. We had to ask multiple times for things that we had already asked for. My French onion soup was cold when I finally got it, my friends burger was literally still bleeding when they set his plate down. There was actually blood on the plate. Our friends dinner was given to another table so he ended up having to eat alone which wasn't cool. I was invited by my friends so I didn't feel like it was my place to say anything or complain. But, they were clearly not ha

We were allowed to get a table 30 mins before time of open! I love the vibe and the ambiance! Loved the gravy on the Poutine. I also was impressed with the presentation of the meal. Beef stew was my favorite!!
