This place continues to underwhelm. The food is always just…read moreokay to good. Never great, never spectacular, never delicious. On our most recent visit, however, it was the service that was horrible. We didn't get the server that we often have, but we were willing to give a different server a chance. She. Was. Horrible. It took more than 15 minutes to get our soup and salad! My husband had to flag down the hostess to ask for a refill on my water, TWICE. The server never asked if I would like a refill and my meal was buffalo chicken!! As a matter of fact she never asked me anything, only my husband. "How's your meal?". "Would you like another drink (twice)?". "Do you need a carry out container?". All directed at only him. Then, to top it all off, she didn't come back to the table for a solid 10 minutes once we got our containers. She had us, one table that needed their order taken and a third table that was still looking at menus and she was flustered. Once we finally did see her she asked if we wanted anything else, again speaking directly to my husband! He said "Just the check, please." And here comes the best part, we watched her get drinks for her third table, take orders at the second table and walk by us at least six times. We waited nearly 15 minutes for her to bring the check. It was ridiculous. As I said, the food was good, at best. The service horrendous. Usually the food is nothing to write home about but the service is good. This visit was just BAD. We live less than a mile from this restaurant and still only go 2-3 times a year. That number will go down even more now.

The host was friendly, our server was upbeat and attentive, and the owner came by to chat late in the meal. A truly welcoming experience. We started off with two Black & Tans (Guinness and Harp) and an order of the Irish Fritters and mini potato pancakes. Generous enough portions of both, that we set aside half to take home for the next day. Our entrees were the Irish Meatloaf dinner and the baked haddock dinner. Both arrived perfectly timed and perfectly cooked. Again, we couldn't quite finish them, so we boxed up the remainder for Sunday. For dessert, we opted to drink ours. We ordered a strawberry Martini and a whiskey cocktail named after the title of Ireland's Prime Minister. All in all, it was 2 hours from start to finish, the bill was $110, to which I added a 25% tip. If you're looking for a real taste of Ireland, look no further than Kitty Hoynes.

I sometimes just…read morecrave simple basic food, no frills.( Although they do have many options for add ones and "fancier" burgers). This bar still has the best value for food, in my opinion. The basic burger is 8 oz and priced to include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and chips. Sides like fries, onion rings, macaroni salad or regular salad can be purchased to add on. I got the basic burger, medium rare and added a small size Caesar salad. My total was $12.... UNBELIEVABLE value. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. My friend had a burger with several toppings and the onion rings looked amazing. My Caesar dressing tasted homemade.
