| - Today was my third visit to this lovely Irish Pub and I'm awarding it four stars based on comparison of other Irish spots in the valley. It's beautiful, it feels "authentic," and I haven't had a bad dish. Plus, most of the staff is actually from Ireland and are all really friendly!
I've tried a few dishes since each visit was with a large group and allowed for a greater variety of samplings. During this visit, I ordered the "IRISH POTATO CAKES" again and it was good. It had a mashed potato consistency with a nice crust and tasty seasoning. Great contrast between the sour cream-like sauce and balsamic reduction drizzle. I also ordered the "UNIQUELY VEGGIE" burger (housemade white bean patty, crumbled goat cheese, sun dried tomato pesto, cucumber, caramelized onions on toasted wheat) with a side of housemade chips. The patty was really great and everything came together well. The goat cheese was a tad too much, but that's just the nature of the cheese. It also needed a little more flavor or just salt, which is a simple fix.
Their bar is wonderful too. I ordered a Jameson + Ginger and it had a generous serving of Jameson, plus delicious. Ruben enjoyed a Guiness Foreign Extra Stout (very cool Guiness store next door!).
