    What's left of my black and tan
    Marc L.

    Came here with wifey after a day of errands. Blues session was scheduled for 5pm so we were lucky to hear some good music for a bit. Service was definitely slow. Not sure if the event impacted the system but it seems like it wasn't due to a lack of personnel. Kenny Cobb Salad was okay. Not enough dressing. The fish and chips were very good. Not overly battered and greasy. Coffee got cold quickly, and no refill offered. Crème brûlée was the winner even though wifey noted no whipped cream and no raspberry. Over mid level experience, but worth stopping by the menu has plenty of options so maybe it was just a down day.

    Got a reply back from the owner. But, I think he was basing his reply on my very first review from years ago when the restaurant was under a different ownership. Like I said, we are *not* coming back even though it's walking distant from our home. This restaurant needs to have a better communication system especially when the customers bothered to make a reservation days ahead, stating that they need to seat outdoors and only to be surprised with Matt Denny not wanting to accommodate us when we showed up!!!

    You can immediately feel the warmth and energetic vibe walking in to Matt Denny's. The sound of laughter from various tables, the music playing overhead, and the lightly carrying sounds of the outdoor band from time to time. We went on a busy night just after New Year's. The place was hopping with merriment. The colorful interior is welcoming as well, begging you to have a seat in a booth and take a load off for a while. We were a party of six and had made a reservation. It appeared we had the largest open table seating indoors, but there were plenty of places on the heated, covered patio to accommodate large groups. There's also a bit of a private enclosed space in the dining room area for a larger group. Our waitress was friendly, personable, and attentive. She got each of our drinks orders, food orders with modifications made as asked, no prob splitting the tab. Our meals came out a bit at a time, with enough time in between for us to encourage others to begin eating. This is probably because we had separate orders. Everything came out as ordered and quite good! Everyone was happy with their meals. Our waitress checked on us regularly, for another round, any extras, and such. Dessert at the end, and before we knew it, the place was wrapping up and shutting down. You know a place cares about the good time of their customers when they're not hurrying to get you out! We appreciated that. Want classic comfort food in a casual and lively dining experience? This is your place!

    Awesome place, Scott takes care of this place.. great live music, huge patio.. greatest patty melt around... drinks top notch .. long island Quick fast service.. never an empty plate.. to look at.... drinks always full.. Clean restrooms ...

    Ribeye steak with sides of sweet potato fries and garlic bread. Highly recommend garlic bread.

    Nice environment and excellent selection of food. Though service could be slow sometimes but friendly servers more than made up for that.

    If you go for the drinks and service and don't expect much more than bar food level quality, you will be just fine. If you expect anything more, you will be disappointed. Buddy and I tried the fish and chips, buddy suggested the place cause he wanted their roast beef sandwich. We were both disappointed. Fish was ok, but the batter was oily and didn't have much flavor. Didn't have any of the crispiness you would expect from fried fish. Fries were ok, but also tasted like they were cooked in old oil. Sandwich was dry and onion rings had the same texture and characteristics of the fish. All edible, but wish we had been drinking alcohol first which might have made the difference. The cook also made us a fresh batch of cocktail sauce which was really good and helped some which is my four stars and not three. That and the server. Been years since I've eaten or drank here, but it's close enough I'll try them again and hopefully change my rating.

    Food was a good portion. Service was great and food came out quickly, minimal wait. It was definitely fresh and straight from the grill. Ambience was great. Nice and cool on this hot weather.

    First flight for now

    Beer. Thats primarily what I come for here. The food is Ok. Can't complain too much because it's not bad but also not impressive. Bar service is good and the beer options are fair. Parking is out back but it takes a minute to find if it's your first time. A straight forward dark mahogany finish with dark and dim tones to what most traditional Irish pubs go for, but falls a bit short when it comes to apps and entres. I do hope the food improves. Service is great and so are the beer and cocktail choices. It's safe to say that there is food in case you have a few drinks.

    Chicken Vechia
    Cassidy I.

    I dined at Matt Denny's during a Christmas work dinner. They put us in a private room that was a little tight for 18 people, but very doable. The food was decent, though very salty. We also found that the meat dishes, particularly the steak, were overcooked by one measure of done-ness. For example, the person who ordered rare got medium and the person who ordered medium got well done. I got the chicken vechia and it did not have mushrooms. The sauce was good though.

    I've lived in Arcadia for nearly two decades and had never stopped here to eat because I assumed it was just a bar. Wow--was I wrong! I was pleasantly surprised when I finally decided to give it a try for breakfast. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I'll definitely be back for dinner in the near future.

    Edamame
    Steve W.

    Local pub that needs your attention!! The feeling is warm and cozy. The food is comfort times 5. Beer and spirits flow easily and the bartender has a good hand if you get me Arcadia has some kitschy spots and this is right up Ami get them. I had a pastrami, excellent. Edamame was yummy and garlicky. Salads and chicken gumbo excellent. Service was fine and we have zero complaints

    New York Steak
    Loren L.

    So, was a bit hesitant to try this place based on some of the reviews, but remembered that this is Yelp where everyone has an opinion about what they experienced and a lot of times some one star reviews are unfounded. My bro has been searching for Fish n Chips and I wanted a steak. Seeing that they use Cod for their Fish n Chips, we headed out to try this place. One reviewer stated that service was rude and inattentive, our server Myranda was extremely attentive and very friendly. Our food came out pretty quick. I ordered my New York Steak medium and it came out medium, unlike what another Yelper stated. Only thing that I would change is having my steak without sauce, I prefer just light salt and pepper, but that's my preference. Fish and Chips were good according to my brother, he prefers a heavier batter but said he would order it again. The vibe is lively as it should be, it's an Irish Pub! We will definitely comeback soon to try other things on their menu! Remember, Yelp is a great place only when people are not arbitrary in their reviews based on their emotions.

There was plenty of shade, comfortable seating, plants used as décor, and an overall relaxed atmosphere. It felt tucked away enough to enjoy the meal without too much noise. Convenient for me as i had my little one with me. I ordered a watermelon jalapeño margarita, but with vodka instead of tequila, and Tajín on the rim. It was delicious!

The tacos were tasty and cooked really well, but the portion size was a little disappointing.

She had a warm personality and took care of my order within a reasonable amount of time. Place was worth trying.

    The food at the Nordstrom Café was actually really great. I have celiac disease, so I can't consume…read moregluten, and it's not always easy finding places that have genuinely good gluten-free options. I really appreciated that and was excited to eat my meal. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by how I was treated by one of the staff members. I had ordered online ahead of time since I only have a short lunch break and planned to dine in. There were plenty of open tables, but I was told I couldn't sit because online orders weren't considered "dine-in" and that seating was reserved so staff could make tips. That explanation didn't make sense and honestly made me feel unwelcomed as a paying customer. I was really looking forward to my meal, and the interaction completely killed the vibe. If you plan on eating here, I would recommend ordering in person to avoid any confusion. I'd also suggest the café clarify this policy, because the inconsistency took away from what would have otherwise been a great experience.
