It certainly won't be the last because I definitely will come back for a drag brunch, drag show, and or dance party! The servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was lively decorated. There were many tv screens and a large projector on the main wall for everyone to watch. Not a bad seat in the house! Many tables and booths were filled with couples and parties. It's highly recommended to book a reservation for a spot. And there were plenty of street parking available. And did I mention that the food was delicious?? Don't sleep on the beef empanadas! The spicy sauce and guava sauce perfectly complemented the fried bites. The legendary steak tips were perfectly cooked and so tender. It was paired with a Mac salad and French fries. The half chicken was also surprisingly filling and satisfying. Both dark meat and white meat are served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The whole meal left no crumbs. Come to Blend for a good time and leave with a belly so full!

Came to McGonagles on a Friday evening before we had to attend a wedding. We wanted to grab a bite…read moreto eat and a drink as we weren't sure what the spread was at the wedding. We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

This spot has been on my "I should try that someday" list for a few years, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally made it in. The first thing that surprised me was how much seating they offer. The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

My husband enjoyed the Margherita pizza with buffalo mozzarella and the Zucchini /squash blossom pizza was excellent! We also got a huge sourdough to go (2nd place winner in a bread competition), a blueberry muffin which was full of blueberries not too dry or oily, a coffee cake that my husband said wasn't bad and a brownie that he liked. The cornmeal honey cookie had a strange sour taste I didn't like. I also had an Oatly oatmilk cappuccino which was pretty strong (I think I'd ask for a single shot next time) because I like the small size. They use Fazenda beans.

Went here the other night with 6 friends. We were excited to try the newly revamped space…read more We were nervous about getting a table, but then the place was empty, with a couple of people at the bar and 1 other table. What we got: - Gnocco fritto - Bruschetta - Arancini - Orecchiette - Bolognese - Sausage and lentils - Chicken parm - Skillet chicken - Radicchio salad We had high hopes, but besides the apps, everything was disappointing. How can you call yourself an Italian restaurant but not cook pasta correctly? The pasta for the Orecchiette, Chicken Parm, and Bolognese were all VERY overcooked. The pasta for the Bolognese was basically mush. We actually sent that dish back and came back just as overcooked. They need to figure out how to cook pasta. Service was also bad. Our apps and mains came out at different times. Water glasses went unfilled, and I had to go find salt and pepper on my own. Also, there were two employees, maybe a manager and kitchen staff, who were sitting at a table next to us doing event planning while talking on the phone on speakerphone. It really ruined the vibe. Slim chance we will go back. Very disappointing.

There weren't many options for someone with dietary restrictions like me. The cocktails were not my favorite, but if you're into something a little more bitter, you should be fine. The Arancini was amazing! Not sure that I tasted squash, it almost tasted like a mac & cheese. Nonetheless, it was very good. The shrimp risotto was nice. The rice was very thick, but I would have it again. The chicken Parm was also very cute. Not too much sauce, which was perfect. I'd be interested to go back as the menu changes.

The coffee was pretty good and staff quite attentive. I had the corn beef hash Benedict which was very good, but the home fries accompanying were room temp and not crispy at all. My dining companion had the waffles which were fine. Overall, if you are looking for a place to have some decent and more up scale brunch this will serve your needs next to mom and pop stores, Vietnamese restaurants and shops, the JJ's Irish Pub, and the B-King nearby. As we sat up front by the door I didn't get to venture inside where there were more seating, but the place seems inviting and food fairly decent.

We ordered Bacon , eggs and pancakes w. a side of home fries Steak Burrito French toast slides The sliders were too eggy and lacked simply french toast components and yes , it was the cinnamon and sugar. Everything else gave generic. Make sure you ask for juice sizing because I ordered OJ and when the check came there was a $1 up charge for a large. However, the menu didn't state any presences on sizing. The restaurant looks amazing for a small modern diner. All-in-all, I had to question why the waitress attempted to charge me for more than my bill was despite looking at the slip before entering it on the POS device.

We dropped in for an early dinner for our group of 8 with kids and had a wonderful time. When you first step inside, you are welcomed with a buzzing atmosphere of live music and conversation. The decor is a mix of modern bar with nice touches of an Irish pub. There was live music from 4-6 which set a nice festive mood but does result in a louder atmosphere. A beautiful bar with large TVs were available for catching the game. I got the fish and chips which I recommend. The fish was tender and flakey and the breading was a proper batter that added a nice crunch. The portion was quite large, and I was a big fan of the spiced curry sauce that came with the dish. My wife had the sausage roll which had a nice flakey pastry crust to it. The menu had quite the variety of Irish dishes, and I can't wait to come back to try more of them. The restaurant is also kid friendly. They provide crayons and coloring sheets and offer a decent kids menu. It's nice to finally have a higher end and more modern Irish restaurant that I'm certain will become a neighborhood staple.
