I went here on a date with my boyfriend and it was a cute but very small spot. We were recommended it from some friends. The tuna tartare app was very delish but small, I didn't love my scallops dish and my boyfriend got the gnocchi bolognese that he said was alright. Good service but we both didn't LOVE our meals. I will definitely give it another shot though because their menu has other great options

I want anyone reading this post I waited over 1 month to hear back from the owner Matt after my last visit to the restaurant on Saturday night October 20th. I have been coming here for about 5 years after my cousin recommended them. I have sent many friends to eat here and have posted several 5 star reviews with tons of photos. I don't know if any restaurant could find a more loyal fan. Please read all my previous 5 star reviews. I made a reservation to come here with my cousin as he does not live too far from them as he has been recovering from heart surgery and I did not want him to have to travel. We've eaten here together in the past and always had a great experience. I even had to rent a car to drive out from Brooklyn as my car was out for detailing for a few days. Our server Elise was the same person I've praised to the owner Matt and others as everything in the past was spot on. Fast forward to Saturday October 20th and we had a 6:00 pm reservation. Coincidently our waitress was Elise who did remember us. The drive was over 1 hour 30 minutes in traffic and I wanted to make sure we were not rushed. I said I wanted to order the appetizers then wait to order the mains. I specified I did not want to be rushed, needed time to digest the appetizers and she said they always take the apps and mains together. I did not have an issue in the past so I said ok. Well here is where everything fell apart. We ordered drinks, a pitcher of Sangria, and 4 appetizers. Just as we were taking the last bite of the appetizers the mains came out even before the plates were cleared from the appetizers. We did not say anything at that point and ate our entrees. We ordered desert and before we were finished around 7:50 pm Elise put down the check. 10 minutes later Elise came back and said "The next reservation is here and we need the table so you will have to leave" REALLY??? We just spent about $400. HOW RUDE!!! I recapped the appetizer issue and said since when is there a time limit on the table? We were not even there 2 hours and did not plan on staying more than another 20 to 30 minutes anyway. She said technically we give you 2 hours and up to a 20 minute grace period. I said that's ok, you've made it clear we are not welcome or wanted and said we are going to leave. We still have her a very good tip besides this. I did not want to bother Matt who I know and decided to call when I got home. I called at 10:30 pm that night and he got on the phone. I asked if now was a good time or if he wants to speak tomorrow or Monday. He said now was ok. I recapped everything, expressed my disappointment and said it was shocking and embarrassing. He said he would look into it and promised to call me back. They have my phone number and I confirmed it with him just to make sure. Well guess what? Matt NEVER CALLED!!! How RUDE IS THAT!!! It's now been over 1 month so I guess some of the negative reviews other customers have posted are true. This was the ultimate slap in the face. I WILL NEVER GO BACK THERE!! He turned a LOYAL FAN into a DETRACTOR. I hope anyone reading reviews for this restaurant will take warning and not EVER EAT HERE. This is a matter of principle! You can have the best location, food, prices, decor, service, and if you fail to keep your promises you will lose all your credibility. With all his years of experience as a chef and businessman he has not learned that. EVERY CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT. He basically told me that even though I have spent thousands of dollars in his restaurant I don't deserve a phone call back that was promised. I guess Matt's customers don't matter.

We ate at the bar because they were so crowded and we actually made a reservation for the seating. Everything on the menu is great. Fresh flowers too. Very lively chatter. The restaurant was very inviting.

Wow! Amazing amazing place! Everyone was extremely welcoming. Besides the food, the drinks and the ambiance, the customer service is really what makes this place spectacular. We were a walk-in party of 7. Everyone was super patient. Drinks, appetizers and entrees came accordingly. Every plate we ordered was beyond delicious as well as the drinks and dessert. We were the last ones in the restaurant and we did not feel rushed to leave. What a great place to have a nice dinner. Definitely recommend anyone to come try out this place. I'm kind of speechless lol.

The food is pretty good, but the atmosphere is pretty shabby. For the prices that they charge they should invest in fixing the place up.

Overpriced for the quality. Cocktails were not balanced well and food was okay. Staff was also disorganized and forgot to place my order.

Food is good. Wine choices not so much. Atmosphere is a bit old and stuffy but a great choice in walking distance from where we stayed.

What terrific service and amazing food! You made my special…read moreday even better! Had the filet minion surf and turf and it was cooked to perfection. Love the rice.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I have had EVER had. I had a reservation at 7pm with…read moremy family on New Year's Eve. We waited 40 minutes for a table (yes even with a reservation), and had to go up to the hostess stand multiple times to get any sort of update. Understandable it's busy on New Year's Day, but we've never had this issue before and 40 minutes feels really long, we could have had our entire meal and left by that point. On top of that we were jammed packed in with multiple other families who were also waiting for a table and it was very uncomfortable. We decided to wait it out because typically we really love this place, and we have been coming here every New Year's Eve for four years straight. Obviously this restaurant has gone downhill severely. To top it off the manager was telling people how on Mother's Day they had 100 no shows, implying they over booked and let their customers pay the price. Which fine, it's a restaurant thing to overbook just in case, but to inconvenience your customers this way is not okay. When we finally got the table and wanted to sit down we were scolded by the busboy for attempting to sit when we were told by the manager we could, even though it wasn't fully ready yet. So we then saw the table next to it was nearly fully prepared and asked if we could just sit down there. The assistant manager was annoyed by us and asked for us to wait for silverware, but after 40 minutes we were desperate to sit, so we said we didn't mind if they prepped around us and politely begged to just sit down since we had been waiting so long. Finally he just gave us an exasperated "Fine!" and we sat despite the horrific attitude of the staff. We really weren't trying to be difficult, there was barely any room in the waiting area and we were just hoping to get out of the way after waiting so long and two of our family members needing to stand that entire time. The food wasn't great this time around, very unseasoned. It seemed rushed, without thought, and it took forever to come out. Service was incredibly slow, but due to no fault of our server. They had left their staff to pick up the pieces as they were obviously overwhelmed and it took a long time to get any service. It was such a disappointment as it is usually a favorite spot to go with prompt service. In the end the manager did nothing. We thought for sure he would comp something because he knew we had to wait very long, especially when we had other plans New Year's Eve, but he didn't even come up to us and apologize. He also knows we have been coming here for years, we told him that it's a tradition, so the way we were treated was so upsetting. Our waiter instead had to apologize even though it wasn't his fault at all, and nothing was comped from our meal. I would have appreciated if the manager apologized and did something to make up for the horrible experience on a major holiday. I wouldn't have written this review if he did the right thing and apologized, but he couldn't even do that. After many years of coming here I can't recommend it anymore. The management obviously has no care for their loyal customers and the food has only gotten worse over the years. Avoid it.

I ordered the roasted beets, Irish Soda Bread Rolls and their J.A.H. 1946 Burger , My wife gets their Reuben Sandwich and both were absolutely amazing. The beets were perfectly cooked with great flavor, and the special burger was juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every bite was a delight! The service was outstanding too -- our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. They really know how to take care of their guests. One fun little touch: I accidentally walked out with one of their pens, and I just want to say thank you for that! It's now my new favorite pen and reminds me of a great night every time I use it Highly recommend J.A. Heneghan's Tavern -- we'll definitely be back soon. Five stars all the way!

Waiter, who was excellent and attentive, continued to apologize for the more than an hour it took for our dinners to arrive. Table next to us was offered free dessert for a wait shorter than ours but same offer not made to us. Anyway... ordered the mussels to share- "sorry we ran out". Ordered the French Dip from the specials menu. Very skimpy portion of meat in that roll but in their defense the meat and dipping gravy were tasty. Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich was tasty and side of Tater Tots crisp and tasty. May wait another while before trying again.
