Highly recommend!

Loved the decor and the understated holiday decorations. Especially loved the " George lassos the moon" decoration from my very favorite Christmas movie:) Their drinks are on point. The fig cocktail was to die for. My wife had the Paloma which was outstanding. The owner served us and she was a delight. So gracious and welcoming. So appreciative that we were there. The food was outstanding. I had the NY deli plate. Very good, the pastrami could be sliced a bit thinner, but it tasted great! Fries were hit fresh and crispy!! My wife had the Sunday special, derby dunker. Just wow. So good!! The truffle fries just kicked the whole thing into the stratosphere!! Can't wait to come back and try more of their food as well as their cocktails

I had heard about the lobster grilled cheese but they were out of lobster so I had the mushroom Swiss burger with bacon and it was excellent.

I did not have dinner..just a slice of cake and coffee. I found the atmosphere surprisingly nice and very relaxing. Of coarse you could hear the noise from the other area but it did not bother me all that much. The dessert was quite good and prices reasonable. The only thing I did not like is that it was freezing. I will have to read some other reviews to see if anyone else noticed this. Not a huge deal though.

Happy Easter Day to everyone who celebrates Christian Faith…read more My Sister and I had reservations for dinner at one of the best restaurants in West Haven, in most people's opinions. Duffy's is an Irish American Pub/Restaurants owned by Christopher Walsh. Being a holiday, Duffy's is offering both their traditional and brunch menu options. The dining room and bar is decorated with strong oak furniture, tables and chairs. The historic backdrop is filled on the walls throughout the restaurant of baseball, football, political heroes and of course, a touch of Irish heritage and American pride. The staff immediately make you feel welcome and right at home with their warm demeanor and bright smiles. My Sister had the Brunch Wrap with a side of Home Fries (Sorry no picture) I had to Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli and Carrots. Washed it down with 2 Smith Wick's Irish Red Ales. Our waitress today was Kenzie.... She was attentive and polite, did a very good job, especially with it being very busy. Highly recommend visiting Duffy's for any occasion, holiday or any other reason?

I visited Duffy's with three friends on a weekday night and, man, what a great little place…read more Located in the middle of a neighborhood, there's limited parking in the back but street parking is also available. Once we walked inside, I was smitten. Duffy's is that neighborhood pub you find across the pond, beautifully decorated and with a great vibe. The place was clean and our waitress was the sweetest. After getting some recommendations from the waitress, I ordered the fish and chips. These were different than what I'm used to. Instead of a big piece of fish, I two small pieces of fish. It was interesting and there was nothing special about them. The coleslaw was okay, as were the French fries. One of my friends ordered a steak (medium rare) and it was tough and overcooked. Overall, the food wasn't great, but the ambiance made up for it. Would I return to have a pint at the bar? Absolutely! Would I come hungry next time? Probably not.

That said, it does seem like the owner could benefit from hiring a few additional staff members to better keep up with customer volume. My party waited a noticeable amount of time for food and drinks, even though it wasn't particularly busy compared to times I've seen in the past. The service itself was great, and the staff worked hard despite being stretched thin. Overall, the food and drinks were excellent, and with a little more staffing, the experience would be even better.

The cringe is cringing here…read more Food- Basic; not enough vegetarian options. Waitress: She was kind and attentive; good energy. A lady behind the bar, (apparently is an owner) SO RUDE. I just adjusted the chairs to make sure my guest and kids were comfortable and not annoying the adult customers in bar area etc. She yells "MAY I HELP YOU WITH **MY** FURNITURE". Im not interested in your 1975 chairs but I am INDEED moving a chair so my nephew can sit down. Im thinking Im being HELPFUL so I don't have to bug anyone but instead, she tried to sh*t on me in front of other patrons. After that, our vibe was not vibing and we did not order drinks as we had planned and left. I was really hoping this tanking restaurant would have been a winner as we have a LARGE circle of friends in the town & I we all love giving business to mom and pops hanging by a thread. Too bad.

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.
