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.

My mom and I shared the Classic Benedict and a blueberry pancake, and both were delicious.

My dad enjoyed the California Benedict though he wished he had ordered something with meat. Both the hash browns and sweet potato home fries were delicious. Overall the table was happy! Definitely a great brunch spot with good food, great service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Would come back!

Today, however, we ordered a burger among other things and we were brought the incorrect burger. Our server came to our table and explained he brought the wrong burger. We had already cut and taken a bite of it and said it's okay we will just take what we were brought rather than waiting for a replacement. When we got the bill we were still charged for the burger we ordered even though we didn't receive it. When we asked our waiter, Griffin, why we were charged for it, his comment was "well it was cheaper than what you ate." When we asked to talk to the manager, Sawyer, her comment was "well you ate the burger didn't you?" They did not comp the burger and argued they didn't need too. Bummed we had this experience and will not return.

It felt like a special spot, and the booth seemed to quiet the dining room noise a bit. My companions had worried they weren't dressed up enough, but the atmosphere was comfortable and they were perfectly fine. Our server was great--friendly, fun, and attentive. She asked what brought us in and liked hearing about my restaurant project. I let her choose my second mocktail, and she picked the Cranberry Ginger Bubbler. I enjoyed both that and my Blueberry Lavender Lemon Drop. They were pretty drinks, and the Lemon Drop came in the cutest little glass. My companions tried the Pumpkin Spice White Russian and the Dragon Burst and enjoyed their drinks, too. We started with the Calamari Fritti, which got mixed reactions at our table. One person liked it and enjoyed one of the sauces; another thought the breading needed something more. They both tried the vegetables served with it, too. I also had the French Onion Soup. It was nice and cheesy, and the broth had a good flavor, though I would've liked it a little bolder. It wasn't my favorite French onion soup, but I enjoyed it. My companions both ordered Chicken Alfredo and liked it. One finished his entire plate, which is a sure sign he enjoyed it, and said he especially likes Parmesan-based sauces. I finally tried a Tomahawk Steak. It was tender and tasted good, and the long bone looked cool on the serving board. I just wish they had brought it out whole before cutting it. A lot of the pieces were fatty, and I finished the steak myself without any trouble even though it was described as one to share. The Mac and Cheese side was okay, but I thought it could use a little more seasoning. Next time I'd probably order a different cut of steak. I had hoped to try the Baked Alaska, but they were out, so we shared Chocolate Cake instead. The slice was huge--I could see it coming from across the room! It was rich and good, though a little dry. I'd go back, although it's a drive for us, and I'd try another steak or something else on the menu.
