    Lunch after a matinee is one of our Holiday traditions- this year it was just perfect. The restaurant was packed with diners waiting for tables lined up at the bar, so thank goodness we had a reservation (on a Monday at 3:00PM- who knew?). Once past that minor inconvenience, everything was absolutely wonderful. We shared the Tortelloni appetizer and even though I am an accomplished Italian home cook, it was the best we have ever had. Then we shared the Jack LaLane salad - partly because we grew up with him on TV and the nostalgia was undeniable- and it was perfect. It had a respectable amount of seafood and avocado and was very large. My husband said his Manhatten was excellent. We left vowing to come back soon and often.

    This was our first visit, and we were very happy. The Irish Pub ambiance was just what we were looking for. The manager was welcoming, explained all of the food options, was attentive and we felt like long time friends. The food was delicious. We tried the sausage roll appetizer (YUMMMMMMMY!) fish and chips (VERY generous portions), the Shepherd's Pie, and the Guiness Pie. Plates were scraped clean!!!
