We were looking for a good restaurant that had a dog-friendly outdoor seating option. This was perfect! We ordered an appetizer, two entrees, and two sides. Every single dish was delicious, including the Irish soda bread and raspberry butter that they provided free of charge. It was all homemade (try the authentic baked mac and cheese). The outdoor seating is well spaced and comfortable. The server was very attentive and friendly. The portions are generous. We should have probably ordered one less entree, as one of them came home barely touched, even though we were both starving and it was very tasty. We will definitely return.

We had a party of four and they were busy but we were seated right away. Our server was new to the restaurant but she did well. Our group all enjoyed our meals and the food was well made. The portions were huge and we ate too much. Next time we split more appetizers

You can order just about anything from the menu to go, except alcohol if course. The kitchen generally closes normal menu item orders by 9pm, and offers a trimmed up late night menu, good until around 11 or midnight (call in advance to verify, late timing could be based on availability of the cooks).
