This Houlihans definitely gets a lower rating than it should. The food is homemade and amazing, our waiter, John, was really nice and extremely attentive. This location is nicely decorated and and everything I mentioned suggests there could be higher prices on the menu, but it’s very well priced. Overall, this place is an absolute bargain considering other places charge twice as much, and the food is not nearly as good as this was. No brainer!

Interesting and diverse menu. Great service. Need to be more conscious of lighting: a little too bright this time, previously too dark.
