We were seated promptly upon arrival on the 2nd floor as requested. Our server helped to make this a very enjoyable evening. She was very knowledgeable about a menu and was able to make a very good recommendation for a wine selection. She also provided a complementary glass of champagne as it was our anniversary.

Simple Irish Menu. Too many potatoes for my taste. Irish stew was tasty, but 80% potato and three bites of meat. Giant potato wedges, with one thin piece of fish in the fish and chips, again tasted fine, just overwhelmed by potato.
