    Had to wait a long time for the table even with a reservation due to half the restaurant being held for a holiday party. But the food and service was good once we were finally seated.

    If you’re looking for a restaurant experience that blends fantastic flavors with a cozy, rustic vibe, this spot absolutely delivers! From the moment you step inside, the warm, earthy decor sets the scene for a meal that feels both comforting and exciting. The atmosphere is all about laid-back charm, with wood accents and soft lighting that make it easy to settle in and enjoy every moment. Now, let’s talk food—because it’s the true star here! Every dish is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented. Each bite feels crafted with care, and you can tell the chefs take pride in their work. Whether it’s a hearty entrée or a delicate appetizer, the balance of flavors is spot on, making for a truly memorable dining experience. One tiny hitch was the spicy mezcal cocktail I ordered. It looked beautiful and started with a nice, smoky kick, but the spice level was a bit intense! If you’re into a big punch of heat, it might be right up your alley. For me, though, it was just a little too fiery, but that’s easy to overlook when everything else was stellar. Overall, this place is a gem for anyone who loves great food and a rustic, inviting setting. I’m already planning my next visit—and maybe trying a different drink this time!

    We really like having this restaurant in our neighborhood. The menu has something for everyone and we’ve always enjoyed the food quality and taste. The kitchen is accommodating for any changes we’d like when we order. Service is friendly and casual. And their prices are not nearly as gouging as most of the restaurants around here. Highly recommend.

    The service was attentive. The food was delicious- mussels and sheperd's pie. Both with fries. The peach cobbler was great too but the peaches did not seem as fresh as they should have in August. The margaritas were fantastic. The bar area is very much Irish pub as expected. The bartender was very friendly and helpful.

    My husband and I went for a casual dinner with another couple. Initially, we were seated right across from a table of 10-12 people, half of which were very small children. It was very loud, which is to be expected with small children. But, what we couldn’t understand is why we were seated so close to this table when there were many empty tables. This seems to be an industry practice as it’s happened at other restaurants. Fortunately, the staff graciously accommodated our request to be moved to another table where it was quiet. The drinks were good, food was delicious and our waitress was excellent! We had the Hound burgers, fish and chips, a black bean burger and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Would definitely recommend for a casual dinner with friends.

    There small pieces of shattered glass on our table which the waitress wiped down after we told her. They need to do a better job wiping down the tables. Food was not bad. Wings were great. Everything else was just good. Fish & chips were good but not worth the $20 happy hour price (normal is $25)...3 small pieces of fish. Atmosphere had a nice decor but the noise got louder as more people came in. Toward the end we had to talk with raised voices. Overall a good place and we will probably be back.
