| - I stopped in this afternoon during happy hour. It looked like a nice place with happy hour. I ordered my usual well drink; whiskey and 7. It took the barmaid a moment to first realize I set down and then to remember I ordered a drink and what it was.
I ordered a half price happy hour appetizer; Calamari, without questions. It came out fast! it was hot, delicate, fresh tasting and mostly rings with a few tentacles. The plate was cute, the garnish of old lettuce about a tablespoon of it not so cute. Served with a nice wedge of lemon and unfortunately cocktail sauce. To my surprise the cocktail sauce wasn't so bad, but I'm use to calamari with a different type dipping sauce. Still the Calamari was so good that a little lemon did it well enough. The portion size is good at $3.50 but not so good at the full price of $6.95
As others mentioned the staff is lacking personality, they weren't so busy on this Monday. I would expect a warmer greeting even a little acknowledgment when you sit at the bar from the other bartenders behind the bar, but nope of the 5 people working the bar and accessing the bar and stocking it none was as polite enough to say a hello! That's awful customer service!
Anyhow I looked over the menu and it looks rather good, they even offer 2 kids meals. And like I said the calamari was good. They also have a good selection of scotches and whiskey, that one seldom sees outside an Irish pubs, so i guess that's what makes it an Irish place along with a few menu selections. I also liked the layout of the place and the dark color scheme. I think that if the staff had personality and manners it could be a destination stop. So with that said as much as I would like to be fan, I'm limited to saying it's an OK place.
