   Too loud to have any type of conversation, but food and service were as expected.

   Great place for fun or watching a game. Loud environment, but the service is top notch and the food is always extremely good. Nice craft cocktails.

   A bit disappointed for St. Patrick's Day that the cool upstairs portion was not open for seating. The downstairs at the location in The Colony is too noisy and outside it hit or miss bc it's so cold and service is slower outside. We ended up sitting outside anyway and also disappointed that they ran out of Corned Beef & Cabbage entree. The Scotch eggs are amazing and was our original draw to this restaurant along with having the pineapple cider on tap, please don't take either off the restaurant. The potato pancakes were quite think, would be better thinner like a more traditional one or Irish Boxty. It would be really cool since you are the closest to an Irish or British pub this side of the pond to have a DJ, or playing Irish music on this day and make it a really cool event with the upstairs and outside open, decorated and staffed.

   We went on St. Patrick's day expecting to get some Corned Beef & Cabbage, because they advertised Corned Beef & Cabbage. Unfortunately, they didn't have Corned Beef & Cabbage. I did get a Manhattan in a filthy glass though.

    We had reservations for 5 people at 12:15 for my birthday today and were sat at a high top table quickly. Our server cane over to get drink order a couple of minutes later and after that we barely saw her. Someone else brought a couple of drinks then she brought the rest. About 15 minutes later she comes back and asks if we want to order appetizers. We order the cheese curds (amazing) and calamari (tough/chewy) About 20 minutes after we get our appetizers. About 30 minutes later we had to get a manager to order our meals. We order cheeseburger (really good), the brunch burger with the egg (loved that) a salad (good), the ahi poke bowl (good), and I had the Irish whisky French toast (too crispy and not sure what happened to the whisky, but okay.) So we only got one refill of drinks (non alcoholic) and the server was always missing. I think they had her on outside tables and inside tables. I’m not sure of this was her idea or someone else’s but it is a terrible idea!!!! I have been a server and to properly provide good service you have to have eyes on your tables. If you are going in and out you cannot give all your tables your attention. I’m undecided if I will return to this place as it was terrible service but the food was good. Maybe they were just having a tough day.
