Went today, Easter Sunday for a snack as we celebrated early (Saturday) due to poor weather today…read more We ordered a Rueben because Patrick (owner) said it was good. Well, no lie from this Irish Chap. Golden crispy rye bread, hot French fries, great snack we shared. The restaurant is so clean, decorated for spring with tulips on the tables. We sat at the bar, and while I don't know this bartender, she is 27 and has been working since 16 (heard her tell our neighbor). She was welcoming, friendly and helpful. We shared the sandwich because we had a large breakfast. My half was missing corn beef lol but this was quickly fixed and wow!! A flavor fest. Tender, delicious corn beef, wonderful sauerkraut (taste homemade), and grilled perfectly. Another great day at Castle

I went here for a drink on St. Patrick's Day because online showed they had cocktails, but…read moreunfortunately the bar wasn't making cocktails that day. The place was very lively and crowded with people enjoying celebrating. there were live performers dancing in an outside tent, which would have been fun to see, but it was just too really packed for us. We ended up having one Irish cider and left. Definitely a busy, energetic live spot if that's your vibe.

Came to The Shebeen for the first time on St Patrick's Day and honestly... I was kinda bored…read more They don't have a drink menu, and the 3 drinks I tried to order they didn't have. After that I didn't feel like playing guessing games, so I just skipped getting a drink altogether. Service was confusing. No one greeted us when we walked in, so we weren't sure if we seat ourselves or wait. We ended up asking the bar, then once we sat down, we were still unsure if someone would come take our order. Eventually figured out you have to order at the bar. We ordered the Irish nachos and shepherd's pie to share. The Irish 'nachos' were actually tasty, seasoned waffle fries, nice and crispy, super flavorful. Only downside was they were a little light on the cheese. The shepherd's pie was good too. Overall, I just wasn't feeling the vibe and didn't stay for dessert, just wanted to head out. I will say though, Sean came over later and was very nice and professional, definitely stood out and gave manager vibes. The rest of the staff wasn't attentive, but it was St. Patrick's Day, so I get that it was probably a hectic night for them.

But didn't really have what I was looking for drink wise but I did enjoy the nachos and the Shepards pie! Made fresh, tasty and hit the spot.

The service wasn't bad and there are plenty high top tables to sit at but mostly taken due to st patty's day

Service is with a smile. Sometimes there is a little wait because most dishes are made fresh. BRYAC has excellent lobster rolls, fresh shucked oysters and clams and shellfish served different ways. If you like steak, beef or chicken you will always find something to your liking. The prices vary which is not unusual with fresh seafood. The ambiance is great and welcoming to people of all ages. There is always a small selection of nice desserts. I look forward to the fried ice cream! Oh l forgot to mention, the beverage menu is complete from beers to cocktails! Soft drinks always. You will not be disappointed

Whatever reason, I thought I did a review on this place years ago, as I've been coming here for…read moreyears, and I always have given it 4 1/2 five star rating because the food was fantastic and they had by far the best clam chowder ever. It was a type of place that I would say don't judge a book by its cover, it was a sneaky good place with incredible and creative seafood options. The lobster pot pie was delicious, the lobster quesadilla out of this world, the steak tips, very tender, oyster, Rockefeller, sinfully addictive... a lot of great offerings. Came back after a long time of not being here back in the fall and had a wonderful experience with my girlfriends. Came back today, and it was absolutely catastrophic! I don't know if it's under new management, but the whole place was chaotic, the service was awful, and the food was terrible... The clam chowder wasn't clammy in flavor like it used to be, it it was heavily laden with bacon bits, which, if you're a bacon fan is all the way for you, but I'm getting clam chowder, not bacon chowder. I ordered the mac & cheese lobster which was described as a creamy mac & cheese with lobster and truffle oil... There was not one single sign of truffle oil on this dish at all. It actually did have generous amounts of lobster, but it was far from creamy and the pasta itself was dry. My other half had the fried clams, they rate as some of the worst clams we have ever tried, and the portion was extremely skimpy, and the clam composition was mostly that grizzle! ( the attached photo is the dish as it was delivered to us... It had not yet been touched. )The fries were ice cold, and to boot what made it worse, no signs of life from our server...hello, hello...I felt like Adele! The gentleman who took our order was busy going outside, taking care of the tables outside went by us countless times and didn't even pay mind to us-you've thought we were invisible! The other waitresses that walked by, couldn't even understand body language, maybe they did, but didn't care because it wasn't their table, but we sat there for 40 minutes and no one ever came to check on us. Never had this issue with this place before, which makes me think that it's really under new management, given how the food was, and the lack of care of the personnel. I doubt I will be coming back here again given the experience, and I never do this, but for the first time ever I didn't leave a tip because they were not deserving of a tip. We finished our sodas, we were thirsty, and we were never offered anything more to drink. Why - because again no one came to check on us. When I finally called one of the waitresses over, she came and asked if I want to wrap up the food and I told her I needed a container and I pointed to my husband's food and I told her that the clams were god awful and why they were bad and unfortunately, we were neglected by our server and all other staff for that matter. She told me she would take the clams off the bill and she would come back with a container for my dry lobster mac & cheese. Five minutes goes by no sign of the waitress 10 minutes goes by no sign of the waitress or my container, finally I call the person who looked like she was manning the floor and checked on all other tables and how they were doing except for OURS Was there something wrong with us? We weren't dressed like bums, we sat in the corner, we didn't have extra sets of eyes, we didn't have an extra arm attached to our body, we were just regular, typical people, but she ignored us. Bill came out to $33.50 for bacon chowder, dried lobster mac & cheese, and two Ginger ales... Never again! Honestly, the way we were treated was shameful, hopefully they learn from this lesson and they do better... No one deserves this, especially with the cost of food these days. It took us 50 minutes to get here, and we made it a trip because we've had great experiences in the past, but seeing that all three dishes were disappointing makes me believe that this is not the same place that it used to be.

I wanted to like this place but I got bad vibes. We first walked in and and there was only 1 bar…read morestool (party of 2) so we sat at a high top. They could have easily fit another 3 stools at the bar; people were actually standing in the places stools could have gone. The place felt like an old neighborhood bar where guys went after work for a beer before heading home. Everyone seemed to know each other. Besides the bar scene it was empty. I walked to the bar and asked for menus and a few beers. We had to go to the bar each time to order. We got the buffalo wings and Sikorsky sliders. Food took a while but it was worth it. The wings were breaded so they had a nice crunch to them. The sliders were great - grilled chicken, bacon, sharp cheddar and cracked pepper mayo. The food was really good, I always appreciate a breaded wing. The beer and wings were supposed to be on happy hour at $5 each as noted on the menu. When we got the bill we were charged full price for everything. We asked the bartender why they weren't discounted and he explained that they weren't on HH. We asked him to look at the menu and he said he would honor the prices but the menus were wrong...? I wonder how many times people were charged full price for these items before and didn't take the time to look at the bill. I don't know if that's a normal practice in this place but its a shame because I definitely will not be going back.

Sliders are good, also got the buffalo chicken egg roll which was really crunchy. There's usually a dog hanging out inside, well behaved and friendly. I don't mind that at all. It's such a soft environment. As far as drinks, there is not a very good draft beer selection, basically your usual basics and a seahag. Why not some local craft beer?! Service was great until our waitress disappeared (went home?) I ended up going to the bartender to cash our our lunch check from the table. Still we will likely be back because the food is yummy.

Excellent meal, fresh and tasty. One area they could improve is in their wines. They only offer low quality, cheap wines such as Vendange. The service was great as was the sandwich so we will be back.

Parking is street parking only, so be prepared for that. The biggest downside was the service timing. We felt a bit rushed to place our order, but then waited about 45 minutes for the food to arrive.

Overall, it's a cute place with a nice vibe, but the long wait and cold food made the experience a little disappointing.
