Let me preface this by saying I really enjoy nearly every restaurant meal because I cook for a living, so it's a treat to eat out! I've been to the Claddagh several times and never much liked it but a friend wanted "Irish food", so off we went. Wow, they hit a new low tonite. Yuck chowder tasted like raw flour plus a certain dirty taste, yuck gritty salad with bland goo dressing, tiny shrimp in lots of breading, tiny portion of corned beef and cabbage, tasteless shroom app, etc. I ended up eating the fries for dinner. Our server was lovely so I hope she gets another job bc we'll never be back to the Claddagh. The star is for her.
