Our server, Mike, was super nice and attentive. I had the Steak Frites with Bleu Cheese Mushroom sauce which was pretty good. It was creamy and I had enough to take as leftovers! We shared the Smores Skillet for dessert. I didn't love it - felt like it could use something else, perhaps a scoop of ice cream? My absolute favorite thing to get at either Shannon Rose location is the Cheddar Boxty! They can never take this off their menu - it's amazing!

We loved sharing the (large size) charcuterie! * Beautiful ambience & perfect mood lighting! * Great music choices - heard in the BACKGROUND and not overbearing. I cannot express enough how much I hate other places that crank the music loud halfway through the night, and now me & my friends are yelling to talk to eachother and just want to leave & now hate the place. Why is that a thing? This is a restaurant, not a club. * AMAZING STAFF. Kudos to everyone I interacted with, from booking on the phone, to the hostess who seated and took out coats, the charming & attentive waitstaff ! I think that just about covers it. I was there with my girlfriends last Friday night, celebrating our annual meetup for "Galentine's" on 2/13. We came at 7:30pm and closed the place out, we had so much fun. THANK YOU for a perfect evening. I look forward to coming back!

That, pardner, is your friendly neighborhood Outlaw Saloon, so c'mon down! Wowza this saloon was super hoppin' on a Thursday night! Plenty of parking in front and back but the lots were almost full. I haven't been to this location since its past life as a BBQ place, but have been keen to visit Outlaw Saloon since they opened last year. The atmosphere is tight! Now the decor would be nuthin if the food were lousy, but here they do all right too! More than all right. I tucked into the rodeo burger, thick and juicy, well-seasoned and satisfying, with a side of excellent fries. The same could be said for the pork cowboy, a grilled pork chop with a crispy, slightly charred crust, topped with a melting pat of herb-seasoned butter. I wasn't crazy about the pork riblets which were kind of tough and chewy, and not at all spicy for Nashville hot. Next time I will opt for the wings. We happened upon an open mic night, and it must've also been a bike night as a bunch of bikers were gathered on the outside patio (didn't expect to see that in Chestnut Ridge, honestly). The atmosphere was very lively, and we enjoyed the amped up acoustic sets. Needless to say, it was a busy night, but service was not lacking. Our waitress Melinda was super sweet, and I think the owner(?) also came out to check on things. 4.5 stars but rounding up to 5 for aesthetics, ambiance, and cool folks. This is a fun place to hang. Next time, I wanna dress thematically. Yeehaw!

The restaurant maintained the mostly high seats, which can be a problem for those that are vertically challenged, and the one negative is the music is loud, though the live music was excellent last Saturday (sorry, but I don't remember his name). But most of us go to a restaurant for the food, and Outlaw did not disappoint. We ordered the buffalo wings, which were excellent. They were crispy, and a good size. I like them very spicy, and they were a bit short there, but they were hot enough for most people, including my better half. We both ordered the rodeo burgers medium rare. These are a hefty half pound. They were charred on the outside, which is wonderful though the burger was closer to medium than medium rare. They have a huge selection of draft beer, whiskey and bourbon. I was very excited to see Defiant, which ordered. I am very close to giving this a five star review, but the loud music and slightly too done burger forced me to downgrade it slightly. That said, we will be back!

Sangria's has been a go-to for us for years for good tapas and sangria, but we've now had issues on…read moreour last two visits, and this most recent one was especially frustrating. The food is still great. We had scallops, chorizo, brussels sprouts, and a flounder ceviche special. Everything was delicious. The ceviche in particular stood out -- fresh, well-portioned, and nicely "cooked" in lime juice. The sangria is still a highlight too. A big carafe, no ice watering it down, served with glasses full of fruit. The problem is the service. They had two servers and one bus person, and it showed. Everyone seemed to be scrambling, and it was hard to get a moment of attention to ask for anything or even be heard. Our food came out in pieces -- three items, then a long delay, then another. The last dish, calamari, never came. When I tried to tell the waiter we didn't want it anymore if it was forgotten, he didn't listen and insisted on bringing it anyway. We ended up waiting even longer, which just made the experience more frustrating. To top it off, they're now adding an operating/service fee (around 3-4%), which wasn't clearly communicated and just showed up on the bill. It's disappointing because the food is still very good, but the service issues -- and now the added fees -- are taking away from the experience. After this visit, we'll think twice before coming back.

A lovely solo guitarist whom didn't play too loud and was the perfect backdrop to brunch. Also engaged with the patrons to see if they had any requests. Parking is super easy as not only do you have their lot but you can also park within the shopping center at Boulder run. We arrived at the perfect time because there was a steady flow of people coming in through the rest of the afternoon and it got quite busy. Our waiter, whose name I did not catch, was very attentive and pleasant. He went over the menu and I appreciated that they had their regular menu items in addition to the brunch menu of selections. We all opted for brunch except for one in our party who had the burger, which was fantastic. I do wish the breakfast potatoes were cooked a little more crispy, but flavor was on point.

Could definitely offer more vegetarian options. Had the arugula salad with quinoa, feta, asparagus…read more It was 2 lbs of arugula with a teaspoon each of "the good stuff" , dressing was just okay. Considered the veggie burger but there was no description, just "our blend" which could mean just about anything (ask any vegetarian) I've had my share of lousy veggie burgers after so many decades and it's generally not the kind of thing most servers can describe well. On the other hand, husband loved his burger and staff was very friendly.

I visited Allendale Social last night with my family for dinner after it was recommended by several…read morefamily members and friends. The restaurant is very pretty overall, though the interior is quite dim, making it difficult to read the menu without additional light. The tables were also placed fairly close together. Our server was polite and welcoming throughout the evening. We started with the Korean fried chicken and tuna tataki. The chicken was moist and coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. The tuna tataki was flavorful; however, the taro chips were very thin and tended to break easily when holding the tuna. For our main courses, we ordered the Icelandic cod, rigatoni, Freebird chicken, and a side of whipped potatoes. Dessert was the hazelnut chocolate crunch, which was a nice way to end the meal. Overall, the food was enjoyable. That said, the pricing felt more in line with a fine dining experience, while the atmosphere and service were closer to an upscale casual restaurant. Some small details, such as the whipped potatoes being served without a serving spoon, stood out. While minor, these details can make a difference, especially at this price point.

Allendale Social didn't quite hit the spot for me, though there were some things I genuinely liked…read more The valet was convenient, and the outdoor patio with the string lights had a great ambiance. It's a nice space to hang out, especially on a warm evening. A few things threw me off, though. The bar staff kept running back and forth between the bar and another building, I'm guessing to grab bottles or restock. It was distracting, and I honestly wish they had just walked quickly instead of sprinting through the space. The bathrooms were also really tight and pretty filthy, which didn't help the overall feel. The food itself was fine, but everything tasted extremely salty. I'd be willing to give it another shot since the place is so hyped up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

This place hit it out of the park. The menu has a lot of unique niche options. We sat at the high…read moretops in the bar section.

An ex Hoboken girlie, I have a very specific standards to cocktails and this places knocks it out the park. The waitress was wildly helpful (suggestions and attentive) and she was funny, brownie points! New staple for us, go check it out

Our server was very pleasant and made us feel welcome right away. We went on a Sunday evening, and the back dining area was almost empty. If you're looking for a livelier vibe, the front is probably the better choice, but the back works great for something more quiet and intimate. I was craving the bolognese, but they were out that night, so we ordered the candied nut and beet salad and the pepperoni pizza with honey. Both were very good, but the salad definitely made more of a "wow" impression. Overall, we had a really pleasant time.

I've had some dooziees with that delivery service and with restaurants sending dry, dead, gross food. Well, I was really delighted with what Bradys sent. 1. Standard packaging, nothing excessive. Thank you. 2. Portion was abundant for a person at home on St. Pat's, so thank you again! 3. The corned beef and cabbage was THE BEST that I've had in YEARS. I am comparing it to the corned beef and cabbage Gloucester fishermen make, so that is a Compliment of compliments. And a monumental THANK YOU for that. The corned beef was perfect. And flavourful and juicy, and the perfect texture. The cabbage was also perfection, and cut perfectly for a perfect bite with corned beef. That gives added points here. The potatoes were perfect. The sauce was something else. The flavor, with some mustard seeds, was so good. I'd asked for extra mustard, but clearly it did not need mustard because the dish was so darn perfect. So I can't speak to ambiance, but when my car is fixed, and my Lent fast ends -- Saint Patrick's is my annual Len Fast Break so I can have 2 Guinness and corned beef and cabbage but no meat or booze otherwise -- and look forward to visit and becoming, not a stranger ;) Thank you so much for making my solo Saint Patrick's Day a holiday at home.
