Exceptional fish tacos with fresh mango salsa (best I’ve ever had), blue point oysters and honey sriracha wings. Our server, Alan, was welcoming and made brilliant recommendations. I loved that he shared that he was originally from Goa, India and an interesting conversation ensued. The dinnerware, china and silverware were so pretty and upmarket which is not conventional for an Irish “pub”. The overall ambience, interaction and food made this a solid 5 star visit.

I sat at the bar Mike was the greatest bartender i have ever had. He was fun, energetic and spoke with every guest. He knew his menu and had knowledge on drinks. He was accommodating and he had local Recommendations. I have never laughed soooooo hard in my life!

My fiancé and I came to the bar for some dinner and drinks before a movie. What an amazing spot! The food and drinks were delicious and the service superb. Steak Frites were high quality and buttery, fries crispy and fresh. His Burger was juicy, cooked to perfection. The chili cheese naan was great too. Drinks were perfect, we had the royal Negroni and a riff on a paper plane. Joseph the bartender took great care of us! Ambiance was very cozy. Can't believe I didn't know about this spot sooner. Thanks for the great experience!
