Food was good. Service was definitely not. Our server left sometime during our meal. Someone else took over. 8 of us and no one could even split the meal. You use Toast. It should have not been an issue. Not a place for large groups.

First time to the new Guinness Brewery. We started with the Winter Warmer Brown Ale, which has notes of vanilla bean, cinnamon and nutmeg - A MUST TRY. It was very good and very smooth, even with an ABV of 7.1%. We got the brown bread appetizer, which also incredible, but I do think they are missing an opportunity by serving it cold, it would be so much better if served warm. The reason for the three stars: 1. I wish they had more stouts/porters on nitro draught, they only had the standard, extra and NA, maybe because others wouldn’t be Guinness, but in my mind, I was expecting it given the similarity in beer types. 2. The food was very rich, they didn’t have much in the way of lighter/non-rich options - although we didn’t try any of the salads, but there can be a happy medium between salad and rich/heavy entrees. We got the Ruben, which was super rich but lacking on flavor (I know that doesn’t make sense, but not sure how else to describe it.). We also got the fish and chips and cheese curds. Couldn’t finish the cheese curds and the fish and chips I had to take the fish out of the batter to finish it.

This was our first visit to Guinness and it won't be our last! We really enjoyed the food, beverages, service and vibe. Parking was rough, but fortunately we got the valet. In the future we'll most likely train in from the burbs. I was afraid it would be too loud to hear each other in our party of 6, but even though it was on the louder side, we were able to talk without yelling. Four of us have been to Ireland recently and though the beer wasn't totally that Ireland taste, we all really enjoyed it. Most of us had the beef stew as recommended by our server and it was delicious! The curds and wings for starters were also tasty. The Guinness sauce on the wings was delicious on its own! Then for dessert we had the creme brulee and the churros with ice cream - again recommended by our server. Don't usually love churros, but this was a great combo with the ice cream. Overall super fun night for a little family reunion!

My wife and I celebrated her her milestone birthday. We were greeted upon entering the building with enthusiastic staff that assisted us with taking our photo that we intend on using for our Xmas cards. I had the full Irish breakfast and didn’t leave a morsel on the plate. I recommend this place for anyone interested in Irish cuisine. My only complaint is that they didn’t have Barry’s Irish tea to accompany my wife’s birthday cake.
