You walk in and you feel right at home. You can tell that everything is made from scratch and most likely DOES come from a farm nearby. Hubs and I started with an incredibly creamy and delicious seafood chowder- studded with oodles of fresh fish, and then moved onto a Scallop Salad with bacon and other tasty morsels. So divine. Though we're not big dessert people, the Irish seem to love it and there is a huge table of desserts right in the front of the restaurant that beckons you. We caved and ordered the creamiest, most decadent and lovely lemon pie tart that I have ever had. I am pretty sure they must add cream to the filling just for fun. I mean, it's Ireland and they add cream to everything. So. good. Go here. Eat and be happy. Have dessert. You won't be sorry.

We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.

The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.
