| - It's IRISH!!! You can't go IRISH and not do Carbombs and Guiness!!!
Haha, I chose not to partake in the Guiness--traded that in for a Blue Moon sans the Orange. I did, however, throw back a few (READ : 4) carbombs. YUMMY--Jameson you are my vice.
Anyways, I didn't just go here to drink--I went here because I couldn't get a ticket into Melts down the street...
Iwas totally looking forward to hammer down on some steak since I wasn't going to be grubbin' on any Grilled Cheeses.
I ordered the Steak & Fries... the steaks were advertised to be topped w/ onion rings so I was suckered in--who doesn't love Onion RINGS, eh?!
Anyways... the onion rings were great... but the steak was CRAP... ughhh so dry... seriousy--I made better steak by the time I was 5 years old.
Luckily the onion rings were as good as they were because the steak was super-duper yuck and the fries were forgettable.
I did get a chance to order a side of MAC & CHEESE with this thing called RASHERS--I guess it's like bacon or something... but BETTER!! You hear that California... like bacon, BUT BETTER!!!!!!!
It definitely was good... the Rashers were extremely savory and the cut was crispy and tender... lovely. What wasn't lovely was 3 spoonfulls ran a cool, $7.50... picture this as a small side from KFC for a scope comparison.
Service was definitely acceptable... our server took care of the 11 of us valiantly and although she was late on a few beers and forgot a few others, we understood--I mean, 11 people w/o reservations--pretty damn good job.
Ambiance is fair, nothing memorable... but nothing trashy either.
THAT STEAK THOUGH... BEWARE, it dragged everything downhill... and it wasn't like a budget joint either you know? My meal had a face value of approximately 65 dollars--I was very fortunate to have had my bud Cody around to pay for 3 out of the 4 carbombs... I would've expected a better quality cut for the money they made that night.
