    Saw an instagram ad for their Sunday roast dinner so planned a trip to The Irish Heather Shebeen…read more I was at their previous locations on Carrall St and this was my first visit to this location that opened in 2021. We had planned on the beef roast dinner and I read reviews that they often sell out so...made the reservations and pre-booked the roast beef dinner...and glad we did. We were seated right away and I opted for a Guinness with the dinner...a perfect pairing with this dinner at this establishment. The Guinness came out pretty quick and the food came out shortly after...great job. They returned with gravy and a horseradish mayo...both so good. Covered everything with gravy and it made the presentation. The taste was great and loved the yorkie smothered in gravy. There was no issue with the service...they very regularly stopped by to see if we needed anything. This is a great deal for $25 for a full roast beef dinner and it was a very positive food experience. TIP: Make the reservation, come early and it's Sundays only.

    Came back a couple of times for dinner and the food was pretty awful both times. Fish and chips is…read morevery average and the vegan beyond wellington is one of the worst things I've tasted. Barely cooked pastry with a minimal amount of beyond beef, bulked up with black beans of all things. Sunday roasts served with one piece of broccoli, mushy carrots and probably one potato cut into 4 pieces and roasted. My husband said the roast beef was ok, but the Yorkshire puddings were more like bread. Both our dinners were served lukewarm. Everything was undercooked and under seasoned. I gave 2 stars because the service was good, but I won't be returning. The chef has to know this food is crap.

Their "brunch burger" is a major missed opportunity though... this really should have a fried egg on it. You could possibly add an egg from the ala carte section of the menu, but those cost $3, so you'd be looking at $27 for a burger and a half a cup of fried potatoes. That's insanely expensive. Currently the brunch burger has two small patties which have a tendency to overcook and become dry. My patties were well-done despite me asking for medium - don't even ask if the kitchen can't deliver. Not sure what makes that a brunch burger, but it would be much better if those two patties were combined into one, and a fried egg was added, while staying below a $24 price point expensive burgers in Vancouver. Other restaurants can do it.... Oh, the other disappointing thing is that the card reader defaults to tips at 18, 25, and 28%. Not cool - we already pay servers high wages in BC, tipping should be 10% if not eliminated altogether. 28%? No thanks!

Together with heavy curtains, it gave the place an opulent and bold vibe. Our server, Liam is very nice. Recommended a few popular dishes which helped a lot considering the numerous selections on their menu. He was also very professional to take off our Ginger Garlic Squid from the bill when we complained of the fishy, not fresh smell. Overall, despite the disappointment with the squid we were still very happy with the food and service.

Our beer flight included SW Lager, SW West Coast IPA, SW Pale Ale, and Fieldhouse Dark Sour. Interesting, most of us enjoyed only one, and we all had different preferences! Between both dishes, they were very generously seasoned - both were super salty! They were nice bites, but they definitely were a bit tough to eat. Thankfully, with four of us, we were able to finish eveyrthing. We were lucky that even though it was full, there were a few tables left both indoors and outdoors. Service from ordering to paying was attentive, and our server constantly checked in on us throughout our visit. Unfortunately, this spot won't be making it back on our list anytime soon, since the food was too salty for us.
