Both were good. The "world's greatest fries" were good, but not spectacular. The tacos were good, but did not have the promised gojujang sauce on them. Sweet, not spicy due to a sweet slaw. Chips were good. Salsa just ok. Convenient choice for a quick bite while visiting the casino.

It had been years since my last visit to Breezers before stopping in recently, and I was happy to…read moresee that little of the familiar covered-in-posters decor had changed. Oh, sure, the air hockey table was gone and other games had been shuffled around a bit, but it was unmistakably Breezers. I have always had a good rapport with the staff at Breezers in the past, and this had not changed either. Our drinks were kept full and they were even happy to follow our instructions for some strange shots and whatnot. At the bar, we were left to our own devices when conversing amongst ourselves and entertained with banter when we weren't. Perfect. The place may be small and the booze selection somewhat limited by the unrefined tastes of its typical clientele, but it's always been inviting and rarely rowdy (unlike a lot of other bars in the area). And did I mention the jukebox? Sure, it's just one of those TouchTunes things, but what's set up there by default is an aging metalhead's paradise. Nothing like having an endless supply of Megadeth to keep tossing my dollars at the barkeep and subsequently put myself into taxi-necessary condition.

Homemade Milkshakes are a fun and welcome addition to the meal experience here. This past Christmas season they had the most amazing winter wonderland experience in their restaurant and dining areas. If they offer it again in the future- GO! Book a ticket! The impressive Harry Potter Lego display they had was worth the visit alone. Highly recommended coming here.

Service was good! The only issue I have, every time, is that you have to ask the server for their handheld in order to review the bill. I do wish they'd bring a paper receipt to review.

We usually splurge on a special bottle of wine and look forward to it all year. Unfortunately, after ordering, we were told it was unavailable. Disappointed, we selected another option, only to have the bar manager/buyer come to our table a few minutes later to let us know that choice was also unavailable. She apologized and explained they were in the process of changing and downsizing their wine selection while still using the old menu, and she suggested a comparable alternative. Reluctantly, we agreed. While the wine was delicious, it simply didn't compare to our usual. Although we were thoroughly disappointed, the team went above and beyond to make things right and ensure we still had a wonderful dining experience--they even treated us to dessert. Thank you, Michelle, for always being so lovely.

It has a lot more room than expected with enough space for live music. As for the drinks and food they're good stuff also. The prices can be high but it's not crazy for the atmosphere and quality. Basically this is one of the first places one encounters when entering town from the east. It's located in the Irish Cottage Inn & Suites. The hotel itself is very nice and has lots of amenities of its own if wanting to stay there. As for the restaurant itself it's one of the highlights. It's about $8 for an Irish coffee, which is a classic in the morning, evening, or whenever. Amazingly they have non dairy options including Bailey's Dairy Free Toffee Cream. It's about $18 or more for an entree which is a lot. We were able to find a few plant based options. I got the Roasted Squash Bowl. This has broccolini, farro, heirloom tomato relish, pickled red cabbage, and white beech mushrooms. An earthy flavor. She had the Vegan Shepherd's Pie. An alternative made with faux beef and mushroom gravy There's also plenty of meaty options like beef medallions. For sure it's one of the nicer restaurants around here. It's closed Mondays. They amazingly have a few things for vegans and vegetarians.
