I feel like giving my old review one star. What an amateur I was when I started yelping.
Anyhow, I took some out of town friends here on St. Paddy's Day(including a yelper!) to grab a corned beef sammich. My fellow diners had a burger and the pierogi chicken paprikash. The pierogi was a huge hit. My sandwich, however, was somewhat lacking.
It boasted a "Jameson mustard sauce" which did not appear on my entree. I let it go since there was commercial mustard at the table. I don't think they always make this dish and it was probably just for the holiday. The bread was store bought rye(Schwebel's maybe? I detected a hint of Akron flour). The beef was pretty bland.
Again, I don't think it's fair to bash a special versus a staple the establishment is known for. Service was decent on a busy day, though the place was only half full. The people watching at about five pm on Detroit was priceless. We were seated right in the window. Many drunken revelers showing off for us like so many exhibitionist zoo gorillas. The booths are very cozy and tall, giving your dining party great privacy. I did order some mozz sticks and onion rings to go for my wife and they were excellent. Overall, a sane alternative to the madness of Irish bars on this drunkiest of days.
