  • "This place has a nice atmosphere, good food, and even bingo on Tuesdays."

Food

Pros:

  • "Loved the Fish & Chips. Fish was crispy outside and moist inside."

  • "Will be returning for another Sticky Toffee Pudding."
  • "Food is fantastic as well. Got the fired chicken sandwich and could have easily eaten another one."

  • "The Adobo dry rub chicken wings were flavorful and perfectly cooked."
  • "Food is always amazing. Especially the Irish stuff. Just like home."

Cons:

  • "I was served a burnt Black Bean Burger with swiss cheese, instead of the cheddar, that I ordered."

Value

Pros:

  • "Their prices are good- better than a LOT of JC."
  • "Enjoyed the 1/2lb burger & draft Guinness."
  • "The roast potatoes rivalled those that my mum made, the mashed potatoes rivalled those that I make!"
  • "Everyone in my party loved what they ordered. The half roast chicken and shepherd's pie are both out of the ballpark home runs!"
  • "Great drinks. They know how to make a good cocktail."
  • "Food is good, half a chicken, steak served to temp, tuna and smoked salmon appetizers are great for sharing."
  • "The fish and chips were crispy and not oily at all."

Cons:

  • "A Jack & Coke for $14 (same as specialty cocktails) is quite high for the area."
  • "$10 for Estrella upstairs and $10 for a guinness downstairs. Not worth it. You can get same beer across the street for almost half the price."
  • "Disappointed with lack of featured menu items. Waiter stated no salmon, only one steak when ordered four."
  • "I ended up paying $22 to enjoy only the fries."
  • "I was pretty choked to see what arrived for $28."
  • "It took so long to get our food and to even get service and the food is decent at best and it’s overpriced."
  • "The bread was especially disappointing. It was dense and dry."
