I ordered the Lamb Shank (recommended), which was delicious -- the lamb was falling off the bone, surrounded by a nice jus, but the side of wild rice with almonds & cranberries it was accompanied with also hit really well.

Restaurant is fairly small and the tables were too close to each other, it felt cramped. Overall food and drinks were okay, but service could have been better. Food was pretty common for American bar type food. Nothing mind blowing, taste was good and we were able to get full off of our dishes. Our server wasn't as attentive, also, we asked for extra condiments but it was mixed up. At the end, she gave us the bill so we paid, and 5 mins later she said she forgot to add more items to the check, and made us pay a second time. We tried to order drinks at the bar after settling our dinner tab, but the bartender just ignored us--we know he saw us but didn't even acknowledge us, terrible service. Parking wise, there's a garage across the street you can park at!

We had the chicken karage and pork XLB to start. We were too polite to fight over the four small dumplings but chopsticks certainly clashed in the karage bowl - luckily the portion for that was large enough that even my cantankerous husband declared he could have been happy with that alone. For the main I had the garlic noodles with shrimp, and oh my gosh. Think of the scene from Ratatouille (yes that one) only with buttered noodles. This dish perfectly evokes comfort-food coziness while somehow also displaying complexity and class. Delicious. The cocktails are unique but passable. I had the nimbus cloud, an interesting mix of ingredients that earns the highly coveted designation of "not too sweet." Aforementioned cantankerous husband declared his old fashioned "the worst he has ever received in his life." Though probably his fault for not choosing something from the extensive menu. The new space in Crystal City is a nice vibe with a Paris streaterie/speakeasy feel, but watch your step in the alley as it's fully open to cars and therefore always steps away from chaos. We sat indoors and had a hard time hearing each other over the loud space (who doesn't love shouting WHAT? directly in your dining companions' ears through a mouthful of garlic noodles?) but honestly, once the food arrived we sort of forgot each other existed for a time. I'll be back for sure, don't judge the solo diner in the corner with enough garlic noodles to feed a family of four.

Best pornstar martini I have had in my life, plus really cure glassware. The truffle popcorn was unbelievable and had fresh parmesan on it. YUM. I also tried the femme fatale and it was acidic and fruity and fantastic. I ended up also getting an espresso martini another night and it was iconic. Jay was my waiter and he is one of the best bartenders on this earth. He made drinks quickly, made sure everyone was having fun, and kept the vibes wonderful. He was absolutely amazing and was a big part of the reason I came back a second night in a row. His positivity and expert cocktail making skills make him the IDEAL bartender.

One of the best cocktails I've had in a while. The drinks are pre-batched, so keep in mind they can't be customized. I also loved that this place feels a little tucked away, like a hidden gem. It's connected to a hotel on the other side of the block. It was crowded on a Tuesday night so you need reservations.

This place doesn't have the atmosphere, staff or the attitude or the service or the food that Irish pubs deserve. The few TVs are nice. But the tenders belong at a dive bar. -- Sorry... But I bet if you ask them yourself they might agree. Too sarcastic but not Irish sarcastic. Kind of a simpler ash hole sarcastic and bad service that isn't European bad service, just American bad service. The 50% off wine is nice each Wednesday and I see why. Get the wine. Then go. Food is "meh" too. Not really worth the stop. I gotta update: the many plugins under the bar don't work. You must give your phone to bartender or go sit in the corner if you want to charge. What a crapper. Thumbs down. Drab. Not an Irish bar. In any sense other than the name. Still crappy.

One thing og note: They do not really deviate from their limited menu of drinks. These bartenders are not like those of speakeasy's from other, larger cities I've been to. I don't drink alcohol at all, so, I tend to ask them to make me a mocktail. They didn't seem very inventive and only offered basically ginger beer in a cup for $14.
