I would highly recommend Grace O'Malley's for the atmosphere, service, and quality of the food…read more We had a group of 37 for dinner and the Manager, Sabrina, was very accommodating and had everything set up perfectly for us. Our server, Max, did an awesome job looking after us. He greeted each person & made us all feel welcome. We were not rushed, the drink and food were served promptly with no issues. Everyone raved about the food!

As soon as we walked in this restaurant, I knew it was going to be wonderful. The atmosphere was…read moregreat. It was dimly lit, the wood was painted black, candles on the table. It just had such a great vibe, a true Irish Pub. I ordered the corned beef poutine, which was phenomenal. My husband ordered fish and chips and a Guinness beer and he said it was the best fish he's ever had in his life so we were super happy. Our waiter was Anthony and he was wonderful. He was so pleasant and helpful. He was always there when we needed him with a smile. The only complaint was the fish and chips comes in a basket with wax paper and the wax paper tears while you're eating, and my husband thinks he may have eaten a little bit of the wax paper. Next time he's going to ask for his fish and chips on a plate . I can't wait to go back!

The signs, the hints of Irish detail are adorable. The highlight of this visit were the Leprechaun Balls. Crispy balls of Irish cheddar, cream cheese, and jalapeño, I really didn't even need the ranch that came with them. Not too spicy, just the right amount of jalapeno flavor. Yes the pub burger was good. The fries were delicious!!! My husband enjoyed the fish sandwich (which he did not let me get a bite of, lol) But again the show stopper for me were the Leprechaun Balls and I literally ordered them because the name was cute but they were mouth watering.

Our service was solid, and the food came out pretty fast. The Reuben and the Fish & Chips were both excellent choices. My only critique is on the drinks--the cocktail menu is a bit limited (both for listed drinks and off-menu requests), though they have a decent beer list. I'd love to see a more expansive bar selection in the future! I also visited on St. Patty's Day and it was packed as you would imagine, but had a great vibe and quick service.

It was fairly busy, but we walked in without a reservation and were seated indoors right away. We ordered two Guinnesses, the Mussels appetizer (with garlic bread), and split the Fish & Chips plate. Everything was incredible. The cod was perfectly beer-battered, the hand-cut chips were crisp and hearty, and the green peas and tartar sauce rounded it out beautifully. The mussels and garlic bread were also delicious (even ordered a second garlic bread). I would 100% order both dishes again. Our server was also friendly, attentive, and gave honest, helpful recommendations. Prices felt fair for the quality, and the overall experience hit all the right notes. We've already recommended it to friends and will definitely be back. A cozy, welcoming spot for comfort food done right.

The place looks like a pub, inside and out, with a huge patio in the rear. All the workers we encountered were really polite and personable. It was very clean inside, even the bathrooms. We pretty much knew what we wanted but enjoyed looking at the menu anyway. Started off with a 20 oz Black & Tan and a 16 oz Harps. So good. My husband had the Fish and Chips. Perfect fry, thick and flaky fish, served with a side of malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The slaw was crisp and savory and the fries crisp. He loved every bite. I had the Bangers and Mash. The sausage was tender with a delicious onion gravy. Some veggies were included (green beans, cauliflower and carrot). The mash itself was creamy and chunky, just the way I love it. Complete comfort food. We ended the meal by splitting a dish of Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was sweet and savoury, with a hint of salt to balance, topped with vanilla ice cream and more toffee sauce. (I haven't had a Sticky Toffee Pudding since I was a child and this was such a delicious treat to share.) The whole experience was exceptional and we cannot wait to go back.
