    Always an authentic experience at The Irish Heather. Tonight’s Long Table dinner was delicious (as we knew it would be!) Warm atmosphere, friendly service. No better place on a cold wet November night. Thank You!

    Great Gluten Free options. The service is amazing, all the staff are super friendly and I love the GF fish and chips! Great Irish pub atmosphere. The separate little dinning rooms are really cool. Five Stars!

    It was a lovely "going away" evening for 5 of us. The Irish Heather is always one of my top "go-to" spots when friends and family are in town. The service, draft, and food are always top-notch!

    Our server was so knowledgeable and friendly. He very well versed on the burbons and whiskeys. All the staff are. Our server continually checked in with us and enhanced our dining and drinking experience. I was hosting several people from out of town and they loved the ambience and menu choices!

    We were a group of 7 so we sat at one of the private booths (a snug). It was cozy and fun! We enjoyed our whiskey flights and some excellent food (even good offerings for the vegetarian and vegan in our group). The lovely staff checked in on us regularly to ensure everyone had what they wanted. Overall a delightful evening and we'll be back in the future!

    Fish ( in fish & chips) was greasy and corned beef was especially salty. Waitstaff were courteous and friendly. Just wish the food was better.
