    My guest and I both had salads. They were generous in size without being overwhelming. Everything was very fresh and well-seasoned. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. Our table was quiet until a large group was seated nearby. The atmosphere is generally conducive to conversation. This is one of my casual go-tos for pre-theater dining. Service is always friendly and efficient.

    We arrived during happy hour for half-price wine. Both the crab cake and the steak sandwich were excellent. Fries were extra crisp and they serve a good pickle. Service was a little slow as the place was packed on this Tuesday evening. Would definitely go back.

    I had made a reservation for three for 5:30 p.m. to ensure we had plenty of time to get to our 7:30 p.m. show five minutes away. Our table was not ready when we got there and still wasn't ready 45 minutes later. Luckily, a table for two opened up and the very nice hostess sat us there by turning the table longwise so we all could fit around it. We were supposed to be there for drinks only until our table opened up but when a table opened up they gave it to another party that had been waiting longer than us. Again, luckily another table for two opened and she pushed that one together with ours (unfortunately, inconveniencing the table next to us who had to have their tables moved down), but at least we could order dinner. I don't think our table ever opened up while we were there! The food itself was delicious. We had mozzarella sticks that were typical, but good. My daughter had the fish and chips and they looked great. My cousin had the herb roasted chicken that came with a huge mound of mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach. She gave me the dark meat and it was so good! I just ordered boneless chicken wings with BBQ sauce. I loved it! They didn't like their frozen drinks that weren't blended well, but the second round they liked, a beer and sparkling wine. I had two awesome cosmopolitans. Overall, a good experience but if I make a reservation, I expect to be seated on time. Maybe NYC restaurants don't operate like that and I'm spoiled by DC restaurants, but the hostess did a great job to make sure we got in.

    We visit O'Donoghue's at least once, every time we visit Manhattan. This was before a theater event and we were hungry! Weather was lovely in mid September. I think our server was a bit under the weather though. She was quite efficient and appropriately sort of pleasant, with a charming Irish lilt to her voice. The food was truly amazing. They must keep some good cooks on board. Anyway. The beef stew was fit for a much more enthusiastic eater than I am - at 5'2" and 120 lbs. I do so wish they'd offer smaller portions. I had to waste some excellent pieces of beef, carrots and taters. Sooooo yummy. That's my story. And of course we'll return again and again. Thanks for being part of the restaurant scene! And to our server - hope whatever was niggling you is resolved.
