This restaurant has promise. We went on Saturday night with a live Irish band which was great except the acoustics in the place are truly horrible. The hardwood floor is beautiful but the resulting sound environment is a disaster. We got there one hour before the band began. We were told the wait would be 45-60 minutes. 90 minutes later we were seated. No big deal. We weren't in a rush. But later we watched a number of people waiting (and one group turned away) while several tables were empty. The hostess counter didn't seem to be run correctly. They were slow to fill empty tables. Not good for customers and not good for maximizing business. The beer and drinks were good. The shrimp appetizer was truly wonderful. Somehow they missed serving us the bread rolls that other tables received. My wife's burger lacked flavor. The fries were good but seemed to have been cooked some time earlier, limp, not crisp. I ordered the mussels and seafood which was excellent. But 6 of the mussels (about 1/3) hadn't opened which I think means they had died before cooking. They gave a generous discount off the bill for that. We will definitely be back. The chef has talent. They need to work on the service and the acoustics.
