Neither was very obtrusive. Our waiter was Benjamin. He was so kind and congenial. Even friendly. Our order was relatively simple...onion rings and a chopped sirloin dinner. Benjamin was so good about the timing of our app, salad and entree. He checked with us often enough to be helpful but not a nag. The onion rings were very good with a relatively light coating. I had read that the wedge salad was delicious, and those reviewers were right! The chopped sirloin was fantastic and huge (16 oz.). It was probably done a little past medium, but it was still very flavorful. The mashed potatoes were amazing! Skin on, creamy and delicious. We were so glad we shared the app and the entree so we could get a piece of the lemon berry cake to eat back in our room! The tartness of the lemon with the sweetness of the strawberry sauce was the perfect way to cap off the evening! We were very happy with our experience. Benjamin made it even better with his kind personality! Best of luck with your future plans, Benjamin!

The hostess asked if we had a reservation, I kind of laughed to my self, the place was busy about 1/3 full, I said no but we would happily sit at the bar. We ordered a couple Whiskies, the pour was generous, I'm thinking well this is starting well. Within 30 minutes the place was packed, every table taken and people waiting for room at the bar! I wasn't starving so I chose the smallest steak on the menu, the filet. Absolutely perfect in every way, medium to medium rare, perfectly seasoned. My buddy ordered the strip with added shrimp, again all wonderfully prepared. The staff, all pleasant and engaging. George was behind the bar greeting the regulars, very well run establishment.

We stopped by on a Saturday as we were looking for a good family lunch spot and the other Yelp…read morereviews were good. The whole experience seemed flustered. The host originally seated us in a space that did not fit our party. Then he moved us to a center spot in a long, family-style table with people on either side of us. We had a five year old with us who was overly tired and very spunky and we had to try to keep her focused on us and not our neighboring patrons. Was really not the most appropriate seating for children but we didn't want to ask for yet another table. Soon after we sat down, we discovered that the parties on both sides of us were upset and looking for any employee so they could express their frustration. Seeing as we were all so close, we could hear them complain to others in their parties about the service. We learned shortly that we should have written up our losses early and moved on. We didn't. We ordered our beverages and immediately got water. The rest (2 soft drinks, an iced tea, and a milk) slowly trickled out one by one. The waiter apologized every single time he came to the table about how slow everything was from us being seated to getting our drinks to him coming to take our order. Once the food came out, he was apologizing again for how long that took. He wasn't wrong. As for the food, it was fine. Portions were average to smallish for the price. It wasn't as special as we had hoped it would be based on the descriptions. We each got something different and all said that we wouldn't order that item again. Not that it was bad. It just wasn't good. The best thing we had was the pretzel stick appetizer. That was pretty good but for the price, we wouldn't order it again. Nothing was super memorable except the decor which was super fun to look at. Oh and the very apologetic waiter. Our food came out hot. Turns out that was not true for the table to our left. The table to our right got the wrong food so half their group was done while the others were just starting. Apparently one of the cooks had called in. So, over all, I gave them an optimistic 3 stars. It was like a participation award with the assumption that if they were firing on all cylinders, it could have been much better. Personally, i wouldn't try them again but as the only Irish pub in the area, it could be a neat happy hour hang out. It just was not a family lunch spot.

We visited here mostly because their online menu, and their menu inside, said they serve Kilkenny, one of my husband's favorite beers and one that is rare to find. Unfortunately, we were informed right away that they no longer serve it, either, as the distributor was struggling to get it. Alas. That is the only complaint we have, though. Service was great, busy as the place was on a Saturday at lunchtime. I had a Magner's cider while my husband made do with Schells Octoberfest. The cheese curds were absolute artwork, some of the best we've had in ages. I had the beet and goat cheese salad. It was huge with very fresh ingredients, quite filling without an added protein.

This place is a godsend in a flavor desert…read more My partner and I have visited China House twice and have been beyond impressed with every dish we've had. On our first visit, I tried the Hunan Triple Delight, which features a trifecta of beef, chicken, and shrimp with delightfully crunchy and flavorful vegetables in a spicy but savory brown sauce. My partner got the General Tso's Chicken which I was kinda jealous of on account of it being the best General Tso's I've ever tasted. The chicken was tender and delicately fried, but with enough crunch to hold up to the sauce which had just the right amount of heat and zest. Today on our visit we had the Szechuan Beef and Pineapple Chicken, both with fried rice. I cannot describe to you how delicious it is. The decor reminds me a lot of old Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants in my California hometown which is oddly comforting. It really is unbelievable how much impressive food exists within such an unassuming-looking restaurant! Bottom line is, China House Cafe presents their dishes without frills, and they don't need it. The flavor speaks volumes for itself! If you're in the area--or even if you're an hour away--this place is absolutely worth a visit. :)
