    Lots of delicious choices on the brunch menu — from Baltimore typical (crab omelet) to traditional Irish. We enjoyed Irish coffees and an Oktoberfest flight. Our server was friendly and made good recommendations. Definitely would come back for brunch.

    The whole experience was worthwhile. The Shepherd's Pie and Fish and Chips were delicious and plentiful. The brown bread and butters gave us energy. Overall, we would definitely dine here again.

    Live music is great. Location is great. Food was quite good. Service was sub par. They were nice but not attentive. Our server took too long to ask if all was ok with our dishes so much so that we had to get up and go find someone when our dish was incomplete. The manager appeared to not have control of anything. The servers were backed up at the bar and chatting rather than ensuring their tables were good. While we enjoyed the food; we will not be back.

    Despite having a reservation with OpenTable, with a note for an intimate table for two, the hostess seated us by the front door next to the band speakers. When asked to be moved to another table (restaurant was empty), the hostess moved us to a table in the corner of the restaurant with no view and next to the toilets... We ended up sitting up at the bar and left after decent dinner to find a more enjoyable and welcoming venue for our Friday night out on the town. When asking for an extra slice of bread for the delicious sauce on the mussels, we were charged an extra fee for the bread.... not cool! The live music was supposed to start at 8PM; however, the non-energetic artist was still setting up at 8:25PM when we decided to move on to a more enjoyable and happening venue. Thanks, James

    An Irish Pub that doesn’t serve half pints!?! The service staff was more interested in trying to get the football game on than in creating a cozy setting where people can talk. The volume of the TVs were too loud.
