| - HUGE disappointment!
We are locals. My brother-in-law and his wife came into town for Valentine's weekend and we decided we'd spend Friday evening checking out the Mob Museum and then walk over to Fremont and find a place to eat.
My husband and I love Irish pubs and had never tried Hennessy's and everyone agreed it sounded like the perfect place to check out. We were SO wrong. Anyone who thinks this is a good representative of Irish pubs has never been to a good Irish pub.
I was excited to get an Irish coffee. I make them at home on occasion and I'm not to shabby at it. But getting one at a restaurant is usually better. I rarely drink when out and about because I have a metabolic condition that makes me very sensitive to alcohol. But I decided I was treating myself. What the waitress brought me was....coffee. It was plain coffee. There was zero alcohol and a tiny almost invisible layer of cream on top. There should have been an ounce of Irish whiskey in the coffee and if there had been, I'd have felt it...or ya know, tasted it. Nothing.
Believe it or not, one of the best Irish pubs we've ever been to was in Japan. Their Irish coffee was amazing! They served it with a thick layer of cream that was actually stamped with a clover. I don't know what the heck Hennessey's thinks they're serving but it isn't an Irish coffee.
So--we ordered some appetizers and those were all decent. My entree, however....wtf? So, I ordered the California Citrus Salad. It is described as spinach & romaine tossed with feta, artichoke hearts, cucumber, olive, tomatoes, red onions avocado & a citrus vinaigrette. I splurged and asked to have the salmon added.
My salad arrives and I'm completely crushed. There is no spinach, no tomatoes, not red onions, two small avocado slices, one artichoke and one small feta crumble. I'm not kidding--just one sad, lonely little feta crumble. I decide to console myself with the gorgeous looking salmon fillet on top of the salad. Only as I am eating it, and getting closer to the center, I realize it isn't actually cooked all the way through. Ugh! I could have sent it back but I'm afraid of trouser food so I never send stuff back. But seriously, how did they get this so wrong?? I mean, it's salad. How do you get that wrong?
My brother-in-law ordered a steak medium well and was served a steak that was still bleeding. It formed a puddle on his plate.
This place is definitely a tourist trap and not a quality place for locals.
