| - We went here on a Tuesday night with my husband and two friends. It was an interesting experience with a few hit and miss dishes. The place is located on Main street in Downtown. The parking is limited and away from the location (street parking primarily) so be prepared to walk a bit if it is busy! The place has a dark bar setting with cool black/white photos of Irish children. It definitely pays homage to their culture that started pasties to begin with.
FOOD: We had the following dishes:
Scotch Egg - hardboiled egg wrapped in sausage & breadcrumb w/ honey mustard. This was an interesting dish that was okay. I wouldn't order this again. The egg tasted over cooked and dry. I am more of a runny yoke type of gal, so I don't think this was a good dish for me to try.
Cream of Tomato w/ Crouton soup was SO TASTY! It was rich, creamy and warm, which was perfect since it was really cold outside. I would come back to try this again.
The Oggie Traditional Pasty - Steak, potato, onion & rutabaga (swede) with a side of red wine gravy. The red wine gravy is amazing!!! Even the pasty dishes that other people ordered that didn't come with the side of red wine gravy ordered it because it was that yummy. GET THIS! If I could add this to ever carb dish I had, I would. lol The Oggie pasty was good, but it tasted amazing with the red wine gravy. However, BEWARE - THESE DISHES ARE SUPER HEAVY! I could only finish half of mine. I reheated it in the oven the next day and it was still tasty.
Oven Chips w/ Garlic and Jalapeno. This is hand cut British style chips cooked in the oven seasoned with cracked pepper & sea salt. I'm not sure if the kitchen messed up, but the chips we received were soggy. I enjoy more crisp fries so we didn't eat much of it. If you enjoy soggy fries, then I would recommend this dish for you.
People at the table also ordered the Guinness Stew and Cajun Chicken. However, I didn't try it but the person who ordered it said it was yummy.
BAR: They had a lot of beers on draft and a full bar. I would definitely come back here to drink the hard ciders again. :-)
PRICE: All the items were reasonably priced. Everything was around $9-10 a pasty. The cup of soup was $4. So I would say Cornish Pasty is about $15-$30 a person depending on what you order.
SERVICE: We were greeted and seated the moment we came in. Our server did an excellent job checking on our table.
Overall, the experience was okay. The red wine gravy was the highlight of our meal. But, I wasn't too fond of the soggy chips and the Scotch Egg entree. Service is great. I recommend ordering the Oggie Traditional Pasty and Cream of Tomato soup.
Happy Dining,
J Tran
