    Sirloin sliders are always perfect. My wife had the crab cake Benedict which wax delicious- the egg could not have been better and the crab cake is one of the best she has ever tasted. The girls had scrambled eggs with a hearty portion of bacon and homefries. I had the chorizo egg tacos- chorizo was delicious and the avocado was fresh. The egg had to be deconstructed a bit since it was 2 big clumps per taco. Breakfast comes with rolls with cinnamon glaze... eat them quickly since they do not taste as amazing if you save them for dessert.

    Amazing place!!! We could not recommend it more, especially if you have a gluten allergy! They have gluten free fish and chips and gluten free onion rings!! They also have amazing entertainment! You get to listen to authentic Irish music as well as watch Irish Step Dancing! The server was knowledgeable and so attentive and the manager came and talked to us multiple times about what we ordered to make sure we knew it was going to be gluten free!
