If you like sandy food served with a side of pouty waitress, this place is for you. Ordered Caesar salads with bacon wrapped scallops, and 2 cocktails. What a disappointment. Never again for us, and can not recommend. Yuk! Over $70.00 and the atmosphere was sad at best. Only reason for sand in the food is laziness in the staff's prep. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Food was good. Service Not. Party of 5 for dinner tonight at 5pm. Server was lacking. Water filled over the table, one overfilled into my purse and floor, never cleaned up. At the opposite end of table water over filled and handed to the end person over their head and drained on table till reached the second person in. Food served at one end of the table to be passed down. Sorry but this is not serving read more

What a great eatery, it's your favourite pub in the heart of the shopping district at Dartmouth Crossing . We went with the specials, my wife had 7oz Strip loin medium well wrapped in bacon with Caesar salad and garlic beget . Mine was 10 ounce strip loin medium rare grilled to perfection with mash potatoes and turnip carrot mix . As I told our server Laura I've eaten steaks all over the world and yes that does include Texas . This was best tasting steak I've ever had . Melt in your mouth and tender cut with butter knife if I'd wanted . To wash it down my wife had refreshing Corona and lime and I had very nice Belgium Moon. Out Sever Laura was top shelf always popping by just at right moment to check on Our meal and top up our drinks if needed . I'm really looking fwd to our next date night as we will be returning . Great atmosphere , great food , perfect service . If I had any fault and it's only me personally I'd like Music a little louder but again that's just me I love Irish folk music. My wife thought it was perfect because you could hear each other's conversation. read more

Monday lunch time visit after their 1st week being opened. I dropped shortly after 11am, place was more or less empty but it was expected as Dartmouth crossing was pretty dead. Got seated right away and got my Sam Adams lager right away. The menu was standard pub fair and prices were inline with what you would expect. Nachos with guacamole and 3 beer (I was there for a while) came up ~32$ while the beef barley soup came up to just above 12$. Nice presentation with the dishes, the nachos were good but like every other pub, seems overpriced IMO. It's not a large spot, maybe seating for 30, but while it ended up being half full at peak lunch time, the tunes was a little too loud. The seating are either high top table & stools or tables with a couple of booths. The staff were friendly and were able to pay at our table with the debit machine. I'll drop by here again, this might be the right kind of spot if you are here non typical hours, like waiting for someone while they shop. read more

I'm a sucker for an Irish Pub, even the ones not in Ireland. While we frequent Dartmouth Crossing for many items on a regular basis, we don't typically tend to dine here. But, given the task of selecting a nearby location to our home for our first night with a paid babysitter and we figured we'd look for something in the area. Having heard about this Irish Pub I convinced hubby to go here and I was glad we gave it a try. Walking into the pub feels like most other Irish pubs I've encountered - the bar seems to always be the focal point and this one was no different. Towering nearly to the ceiling was a massive bar. The pub itself has a couple of levels, differentiated by just a few steps. There are lots of tables set up for 2 or 4 people and at least one large corner booth by the window for larger crowds to gather around. While we were there for dinner, I could instantly sense it was a fun spot to drop by for a pint and while it does seem like a very unlikely spot for a pub, I think that also sets it apart from others in that it is more of a destination and those who go there go there because they want to make the effort. We arrived shortly before 6pm on a Thursday evening and we were glad we arrived when we did. By the time we were pouring over our menus while sipping on a Stella draught the tables filled up and people were trying to find places to sit. I'm not sure if this is typical or not but we also noticed that Hal Bruce was playing that evening so perhaps they were there to have a bite to eat then enjoy the entertainment so arrived early to secure a seat. Our server was adequately attentive but didn't ask us if our meal was okay which I found odd but she was in close proximity to us on many occassions serving other guest so I'm sure she assumed we'd flag her down if we needed her. I ordered the Emerald Isle Burger which was a lamb patty and while tasty, it was not the best I've had. It seemed a bit over done and maybe even a bit too crispy around the edges having been cooked on the same grill as other burgers as I honestly could not tell it wasn't actually beef. It reminded me of going to a summer bbq in someone's back yard and an uncle being in charge of the bbq only to render all burgers overdone and a bit charcoal infused. Hubby had the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich which he reported was good, not fantastic but still tasty but the thing he raved about was the fries. While they appear frozen at first glance they were home cut and something about them really resonated with him. Me, not so much. Then again, I'm not a fan of home cut fries. The atmosphere was jovial and relaxed and reminded me a bit of some of the pubs I visited in Newfoundland. The kind of place you could imagine being a regular haunt for a Friday "end of the work week" pint. While it may seem like a duck out of water because of its surroundings, don't count it out if you're in the area shopping. Typical pub fare, a good selection of beers on tap and a casual atmosphere everyone can feel comfortable in. read more

I'm looking at the Tommy Hilfiger Store on a 45 degree angle- that was the best way I could give directions to my friend I was meeting for a beer. I figured we would try something new since I was at Costco, and I figured it was local. While I waited for my friend and was warmly greeted by a nice Austrailian or possible Kiwi girl. I was poured a very nice pint of guiness and upon my friends arrival he had two pints of Canadian. Not eating, the server invited us back for wing night, which I mistakenly thought she said was Monday night. We returned Monday night under the premise of wings. My friend makes it clear that I was the one who was mistaken. It turned out to be buy one burger platter, get one for 5.99. My third dinner companion, who was late arriving, would be unfortunately purchasing a full price platter given the complicated math problem we were currently in. "I'm across from Costco, is this place by the CIBC?" He too was lost. To be fair I did tell him the name of the place was Seamus Oregans and his googling brought him nothing but car dealerships. The server was really good and helpful. She had worked at Jack Astors for 5 years and she knew what she was doing. The place was full in the upper part with what appeared to be regulars, always a nice sign. I asked who the owner was and she said she was just there with her son, Seamus. Its good to support local, and a family business too. I was recommened the Lamb Burger with Bacon and Guacamole, while my friend got the Guinness Burger with Onion Rings. She explained all the burgers were made in house. I am unclear as to what my other friend ordered as we were finished by the time he made it to the establishment. My burger was presented very nicely, check the pics, but I would have liked the bun toasted. As well, the tomato was a little unripened and the bacon could be improved by using a local smoked product. It really just tasted like buffett bacon. The burger was cooked very nicely and fries and gravy were very nice as well. My friend with the Guinness burger had no complaints, and said his meal was cooked very nicely as well. The onion ring which topped his burger looked homemade as well. This place has been open a year and seems to have a loyal following. I went there twice in three days so there had to be something which drew me back. I would say it was the service. Very kind and prompt servers who know the menu and what type of clientele dines at a place like theirs. Seamus David's could use some marketing as its on the end unit of a low rise strip section of Dartmouth Crossing. Parking is across a street and a 200 ft walk, which is not a problem. Perhaps its people, me being included, not being familiar with business outside of the big box style in this park. Keep it up Seamus, I like your place. read more

A little tiny Irish pub tucked away in a huge parking lot. I've definitely spent tons of time in the surrounding areas but have never even come across this fine little gem until recently. They have great beer and even better food. The atmosphere is carefree and they definitely feel like an authentic Irish pub. It's such a relaxing yet jumpy place and the workers will definitely chat with you about practically anything! Their fish cakes are delightful at brunch and at dinner their chicken fingers are crispy - and don't get me started about portion sizes they are humongous! I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking a beer after work or a hangover breakfast on the weekend. So glad we found this place! read more

They refused service to a fellow Veteran service due to a waitress that wouldn't let him sit in a safe environment

I've been here a few times and my first visits weren't very pleasant. Since then I find the service has increased, and the staff members are a lot more friendlier. Food to me is still basic for a pub but they are improving! read more

We ate at Seamus David's pub on Saturday for Brunch. We arrived right around noon, the pub was busy but not overly crowded. We sat ourselves and the waitress was there in minutes to take our drink orders, which arrived a few minutes later. The Caesar's were tasty and just what the doctor ordered after a late Friday night. We ordered the Eggs Benedict off of the Brunch menu and the 2 piece Fish and Chips. Both meals were hot and yummy, the hollandaise sauce was actually better than we would have expected. The french fries were homemade and the fish was tasty. The meals weren't huge, but did the trick. All in all, the food was good and reasonably priced, the service was adequate and we were in and out within an hour. Not too bad for a Pub open less than a week. We will definitely be back. As a side note: John had lunch here on Thursday and had a good experience then too. However, when he ordered a Black and Tan, typical Irish bar drink, the bartender did not know how to pour one and didn't have the right equipment to do so. If you are going to own an Irish Bar, know how to pour a Black and Tan! read more

I'm not one for pubs and the food they serve, but a friend's birthday gathering brought Don and I to Seamus David's this evening. Here's the lowdown: Pros: - Our waitress was pleasant but very overwhelmed, as the pub was woefully short-staffed. - The nachos we shared were fairly good - not spectacular, but adequate. Cons: - The place was so short of things that it was painful to be there- short staff, food, etc. They were out of fish, beef, and several other items. - Our appetizers took a long time to arrive and were expensive. - After an hour's wait, we inquired re: the status of our entrees. They were nowhere close to arriving. - Since part of our group was heading to the theatres after supper, we had to cancel our meals and get the bills. I don't blame our poor waitress for any of this- she was clearly overwhelmed and embarrassed, apologizing profusely for the service and taking 20% off everyone's bills (hence the two stars rather than one). Will any of us be back? Nope. And judging by the number of people who were leaving the place, neither will anyone else. read more

Stopped in here for supper after the movies. Pretty disappointing. Although the decor is welcoming and pubby, the music was too loud for conversation. The foods consumed were the Reuben and Greek salad while I had the Emerald Isle burger and fries. Both plates were underwhelming compared to the higher than average price for pub fare. Tried it once, probably won't be back again unfortunately. read more

Absolutely the worst service I have ever had. Ended up leaving before we could order based on the rudeness of waitress. Won't be returning.

So a girlfriend and I went to this pub on whim when shopping at Dartmouth Crossing. I loved the idea of a pub being there. The atmosphere was okay. There was Irish music playing and it had quite a few people there. The menu was quite promising offering a bit of variety. My friend got the Lamb Burger I got the Philly cheese steak wrap--both with sweet potato fries. The beer was the best part of the meal. The sweet potato fries were good, but the philly wrap was very underwhelming--there was too much sauce and I think they forgot the cheese. The staff were okay--not very educated about the menu and kind of slow. All-in-all I'll go back again for a beer and maybe nachos. read more

Dartmouth Crossings newest irish Pub! Arrived on a Friday around 430. What a hot spot this place is. I glad we arrived when we did as the space quickly filled up after we took a seat. Ordered a Cesar(drink) to kick off the weekend---I found it slightly watery. It was OK-but Ive had better. For my main I opted to skip the "clams n chips" that was on the specials board as tempting as it was, and went for the pan fried Hadock with sweet potatoe fries and Veg. Fish was cooked well, plenty of flavour. I enjoyed it. Sweet potatoe fries were cooked to perfection. The waitress was great that we had, took her quite a while to come back and ask if we were ready for the bill..but not sure I can fault her there...it was Friday, we were chatting and having a drink! All in all I wasnt WOW'd, but would certainly re-visit again. read more

We decided to take mom out for supper. It was disability friendly so she was able to get a seat by the door without any stairs. My goodness...we took at least 15 minutes to decide what to order based on the yummy selections. I ordered the Emerald Isle Lamb Burger with loaded baked potato. The serving was generous and visually appealing. Not heavily salted which was good so we can add what we wanted and not dripping with grease. I would recommend the potato skins read more

I pre-judged this pub based on the what I thought was a small menu selection. The food size my friends and I received was generous and not swimming in grease. I had the blue-cheese topped burger and a side greek salad -- both were delicious! The service was fast and friendly. The washrooms were super clean and we were able to stretch out in the booth/table. Great restaurant! Great price for the portions. read more

The first time I came here my impression was; I'm Irish! This is an irish pub... I can't contain my excitement!" Juvenile I know. The place itself is pretty nice, the only thing I didn't like however was how crowded the place was. Ok, I don't mean busy-wise... I mean, I think they put in waaaaaay too many tables for such a small place. I ordered the special Chicken Pesto Pasta. It was truly delicious! The service was good so I decided to return a second time. My second time though, I didn't have such luck. The waitress seemed as though she was trying to get all the males attention and could care less about my mother, father & I. And the food we ordered (they sadly weren't offering the special) just wasn't good. Overall, I'll go if they have the chicken pesto pasta as a special, but otherwise, I'd rather just pick up a sandwich at Subway. read more

Met a friend for lunch and wasn't disappointed. The staff was attentive and it was typical pub fare although the presentation and freshness was impressive. Not sure if it is the best location for a pub but who knows. I had a beer and some soup and I found it a bit pricy read more

Let's be honest, when you think of places to go for a drink, Dartmouth Crossing isn't one of them, but nevertheless there is a small pub here on one of the side streets just off the main shopping area. They have a fair sized selection of beer, and while they have no cider on tap, they do sell Strongbow by the can. The food menu is small, but decent. On the night I went it was half price wing night so I ordered up a batch of honey garlic. While the wings were cooked just fine, the sauce on them tasted like a bottle of VH honey garlic had been poured on them. I wouldn't order the honey garlic again. My mom had the chicken vegetable soup, which actually looked really good, a large portion size and nice sized chunks of root vegetables. Overall while it won't be my watering hole of choice, I don't mind popping in for an after work drink with coworkers or a quick bite before the movie. read more

Food is delicious. Have had few small issues with my orders, but they're always taken care of promptly and politely. They have a pretty big menu, I've eaten a fair bit off it, and have never been disappointed by anything. Fun, busy atmosphere, plenty of alcoholic drinks to pick from as well. The prices are average - definitely worth it! Service is always great and friendly. It's a busy spot, but food is generally brought out quickly and efficiently. It's set up well, very spacious so you don't feel like you're sitting right next to any strangers even when it's packed. Very great pub, and it's in a really convenient location with a lot of parking available. I recommend Seamus to all my clients - as I work up the street from it. read more

A friend and I had a late lunch here on a Friday afternoon. It was a nice day so we sat on the patio. There wasn't a huge crowd but we were there at 2pm. The servers were very attentive and friendly. I had the smoked meat sandwich with Dijon & fries which was delicious. The Dijon was quite spicy but they let me know that in advance and I like spicy Dijon so I went with it. The meat was a bit dry but still very tasty. My friend had the Philly steak sandwich and fries and she said it was delicious. Prices were reasonable and I will definitely go back there again. read more

We ate here last week and while the food is great for pub food, the prices are a bit on the higher side for regular pub fare, which I suspect is because of the area it's in. The waitress was very friendly and came back to our table a few times. It wasn't until we were almost ready to leave that we noticed a sign stating it was "Happy Hour" between 2pm & 4pm. Since we were having drinks, it would have been nice of the waitress to mention this to us. All in all an okay meal. read more

Meh is the word Hubby & I decided to give this place a try and we won't be going back. It's nice inside. Clean. Decor is nice. A mix of Irish and other music playing which added to the "Irish" feel of the place. Took one look at the menu and it's small with NOTHING remotely Irish looking on it. The only thing Irish was the font everything's written in. He ordered a draft and was told the keg was just replaced and it's not cold yet. He ordered another draft and was told.... the keg was just replaced and it's not cold yet. Okay we understand. He ordered a bottled beer. Food: Just plain ordinary pub fare. Fish & chips: 2 piece. thick heavy batter with okay flaky white fish. Club sandwich: it's on a bun which is grilled. This "grilling" produces burnt edges which that burnt flavour takes over the whole sandwich ew. The chicken breast was small and sliced in half then the one half is placed between the bun with bacon, lettuce and tomato. The sandwich is then cut in half. Unfortunately the small breast meat slid to one side so that one half was okay... the other half of the sandwich didnt have any chicken in it. The bun was fresh. Okay on to the fries. I wanted to ask how they prepare them. They came piping hot. YEAH! but they were limp, soggy and not crisp. hmmm how can that be? AND they looked burnt but they weren't. I've never had such odd fries. So how can they look burnt be hot but be soggy and limp. I left them on the plate... again... "meh". I guess they double fry them? maybe the oil was old? fries are an easy item... so you 'd think. I'm surprised the cooks even put them on a plate and send them out looking like they do. The staff were attentive and nice. I don't think this place will last. It's not like a neighbourhood pub where people would go for a few drinks... cause there's no "neighbourhood" there. I'd guess their patrons are mostly coming to eat after a day of shopping or movie going. With that being said they should really look again at their menu and food presentation. I wouldn't recommend. Good luck tho you've got lots of competition in that area. read more

Okay...a Black and Tan originated in Britain. The RICRF was nicknamed the Black and Tans...so its an easy mistake to make. But if you're going to comment/critisize on drinkology...at least know your subject matter. If you know the restaurant industry at all, you know that opening a restaurant is a balance between trying to stay above water while learning what your paying clientele will come back for and what they won't. Remember when a pub was a community responsibility? Where folks provided helpful feedback instead of posturing anonymously on a website? Seamus Davids is a friendly place to go try something new. I've been there twice, and have had my food in good time (considering the volume they had to deal with at the time, and considering they ARE new). And the food was surprisingly good considering how long their kitchen staff has had to work with the menu. And the staff are very seasoned...they will have that place hopping in no time I am sure of it. I always like to adjust my expectations and be helpfully patient and understanding. Remember...you're CHOOSING to go to a NEW spot. If you were going to a pub that had been open 10 years and food took 40 minutes to get to you, and the waitress who worked there for 5 years couldn't explain Happy Hour details....I'd be the first to suggest another spot. Go in and be NICE! THATS what an Irish Pub is known for. Not a Black and Tan. Best of luck New Owners. Hope it works out for you! read more

Walk In and waitress tells us to sit where ever we would like. we choose a spot and have our coats off and then she tells us to move. She didn't want us sitting at that table. Extremely rude . My mother told her "no, we liked this spot & we won't be long, if it's a bother". She said "alright then" we all put in our orders; the food comes then my aunt bites into her fish and chips and in the fish there's bones. And then to top it off I know other restaurants/bars/pubs wouldn't make her pay for her food, but didn't offer anything at a discount or free for her almost choking and having to spit bones into her napkin. Then the waitress made her feel as if she lied about the bones, so my aunt opened the napkin and pulled out the bones to show the waitress. Needless to say , I won't go back. read more

This place was alright. We got our drinks quickly but after we ordered it took a good 25 minutes to get our meals and about 15 more to get the check. It's definitly a 'boys club' considering we were the other 2 females there other then the servers. The food was good but everything else was sub-par. I know it's a pub but it was definitly waaay too loud. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. I'll stick with Durty Nelly's. read more

Decided to try the patio. First noticed ants everywhere on the table salt and pepper shakers. Mentioned to staff and simply received a shrug and a that is how it is here. Menu stated gluten free options available, waiter said not really as cross contamination is a factor. Menu should read gluten friendly instead. Menu also said for coolers that summer flavours available just ask. Waiter confirmed no additional flavours available so take off the menu perhaps? Only straw available for a tall drink was 4 inch mini cocktail. All due respect to the environment, there are biodegradable paper straws three blocks over at the dollar store. My previous experiences inside at the pub were all very good but this patio and the menu need some attention from management read more

The food was good. I'll give it that, but the service leaves a little to be desired. The wait staff seemed to take their sweet time, choosing to wipe down the tables before seeing to the customers. Maybe if you do take out, it's worth it... But you can do better in Crossing. . read more

This afternoon hubby and I were running errands in Dartmouth Crossing and the need to lunch hit with a sonic boom so we opted to try out the new Irish pub in the hood. And YAY! Lovely decor and friendly service (Thanks Red!) greeted us as we came in the door. The TV's had their volume on but we assured right away it was just because Syd was playing. Who can fault that kind of home town pride? It was still brunch time so Gil ordered the steak and eggs, which he described as total YUM. I on the other hand ordered the Emerald Isle burger, made with fresh lamb and avocado. It was a good solid burger, juicy, high on the yum factor. Not too big, not too messy. I had a house salad on the side. Red, my awesome waitress, noted that I ordered the blue cheese dressing so she had the kitchen crumble some lovely blue cheese into my salad. YAY! All told we had a very enjoyable first experience, friendly service, decent food, good prices. We'll go back. read more

Not very good. Well, the beer and cider were good, but the fish n chips could've been a lot better. The batter was sponge like. . And the steak was like a hockey puck. Lastly, the music was Country which doesnt really work with an Irish pub :s read more

I like it here. And have been here about a dozen times so far. I used to ignore this place when it first opened: why the hell would I go to an Irish pub at Dartmouth Crossing? Ewwww. Well I happened to stumble in there once and there you go - I'm a repeat. I can't remember ever having bad service. Yes it can get VERY busy there so I am not the only one who enjoys this place, so perhaps a little patience is in order. There is live entertainment fairly regularly as well, and some interesting food items. Check out the bruschetta - seems to be unique around here the way it is prepared here. Nachos aren't bad either. And then there is the yummy blue cheese burger. Nice atmosphere, staff, clientele. read more

Very disappointed with this pub. My friend and I went for lunch over my 1 hour lunch break. We were not greeted but sat down anyway. After about 5 minutes a server with long dark hair and a very short skirt asked if anyone helped us. She brought menus and then took our order. 35 minutes later I flagged her down to ask how much longer would it be until the food came out. After another 5 minutes of not getting my question answered we walked out. Horrible service but can not comment on the food except my pop which was flat! Really, you should be able to get an order of nachos (which is what we ordered) in less than 1/2 hour! I won't go back that's for sure! read more

Went back to see if service had improved. Decided that it's the kitchen that is slow. Place was not full. Wait staff were attentive. But getting food took a very long time. Not just for us, but all other tables we could see waited a long time. Food was nothing special- just regular pub food. Also, it was really cold in their new addition area. Had to keep coat on. read more
