Having said that great Italia dishes also include great seafood. Admittedly this restaurant is in Michigan yet should still get the difference between Mahi and Halibut. No more to say on that. Pro: Great staff and ok wine selection. Excellent pasta if select from the "Special" section of the menu Accommodate Special request for food allergies. Great meat sauce! Good ravioli. Cons: Chefs vegetable the night there was not very good. Very undercooked very fibrous woody broccoli. Fish not as requested. Pasta overpriced.

As a side note, we have been here before and Dan has been our server before. He does his job well. We started with drinks for our wives, Pomegranate Martinis and Old Fashioned for us guys. The guys did change to a bottle of wine from a good list with fair prices. Mussels in white wine were good. Though I think a Octopus Salad would have hit the spot better. Hopefully will see that on the menu soon, real soon. Our dinners were braised beef with noodles as a special, delicious. As well as the Shark. Side Ceaser salads for all. All in all this place is on spot everytime with great service and great food.

This place has a really laid back vibe, and the wait staff were so nice! The waitress recommended the nachos so my husband and I split them. They were very good! I'm not a big fan of a lot of jalapeno so they put them on the side for us - perfect! Others in our party got a salad (which looked very good and fresh) and the French Philly Dip.

I can always find something I like, but I may sample a couple that aren't my taste along the way, which is completely fine when a company is brewing what looks like 30 different things at once. A couple vegan options on the menu with some adjustments, many more for vegetarians. The food has always arrived fresh and hot, and correctly modified. Environment definitely leans toward a bar and sports bar atmosphere with occasionally loud tables celebrating. Music often overrides TV commentary if it's not a Michigan specific game. Requests for specific games on certain TVs was considered and honored- so easy to make adjustments for viewing comfort too.

Fun Irish pub in the heart of downtown Rochester with live music on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday…read moreevenings. The ambience is dark with heavy wood fixtures and lots of Irish decoration. The menu is vast and features a lot of traditional Irish inspired options and they are famous for their signature boxties. I recently had their Burrata Caprese salad and it was delicious! The tomatoes were fresh and the balsamic glaze was well balanced with the baby greens dressed in a light vinaigrette . For my drink I had the Dragonberry Mojito and it was refreshing, but could've been a little stronger. The staff was friendly, but service was a little slow and our waiter didn't check on us as often as we would've liked for water refills. They have a great happy hour from 3 to 5 PM with half off all appetizers and house wine for only $3!

Given the place was almost packed, I was surprised to be served so promptly. The music was nice but not too loud which I liked. Beer selection is huge and food selection is decent too.

My drink was a little sweet even after I had asked suggestions for something unsweet. The food was good , but the portion size is on the smaller side. Place felt a tad pricey as well.

Had the appetizer steak bites which are very tasty (just wish there were more for the $18 price) and my husband had a burger which he loved, perfectly seasoned and an actual burger that was more than a 1/2 inch thick. I ordered fish and chips. It was probably some of the best I've ever had, lightly breaded but not the usual tempura batter (you know, the stuff you bite into and it's soft and white on the inside or completely falls off the fish). They were crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. We will definitely be going back there.

Are you guys going to respond to the alleged sexual predator issue going on with your head manager Jacob Wutka or what? A post (the text in quotes below) is circulating around, there are plenty of comments from past employees corroborating your guys hiring of and keeping predators employed and these comments talk about this issue being existent years ago. Time to address this regardless of what is going on. You cannot run from this. We will not let it happen. The circulating post: "Meet Jake. Jake is a current registered child registered sex offender who is a current employee at the Hamlin Pub in the downtown Rochester area. Jake was charged with having sensually charged contact with a minor under the age of 18. Jake was involved some time back in a sting operation ran by none other than Chris Hansen, which led to his initial charges and current status as a child sex offender. As a former employee of hamlin pub who worked closely with Jake for the last couple of months without any knowledge of his past crimes, I am very well informed by the fact that, since he is employed as a head manager at this Hamlin Pub location, has minors from high-school around the surrounding area (adams, rochester, stoney creek) currently working and employed under his care. I made my own attempt to confront management and ownership of the fact that they currently employ a registered child sex offender with the management and supervision over minors in high-school, I was subsequently and permanent tresspassed from the property on part of management and ownership as a result of bringing this information to light. Please do your due diligence to make this individual famous around your own communities and around the rochester and rochester hills areas as well. Please share this post with friends, family and neighbors so that we can cultivate a culture of accountability towards these deplorable sex criminals within our own communities. Jake clearly shows within his own mugshot that he expresses no remorse for any of his actions or criminal conduct, and should be placed in an environment in which high-school minors are frequently employed at.
