| - Two servers. TWO servers for an entire dining room that's full. Don't assume you're going to get anything in a decent time frame. We watched a couple next to us sit down, with the tip money from the previous folks on the table. After a few minutes, they got up and left. They hadn't even been offered drinks and the tip money was still there. We watched the next couple come in and after about 10, the husband looked as if he was going to fall asleep at their table. Okay, on to the food: I ordered the Mandarin ginger chicken salad and when it came, it was in a HUGE bowl. However, when I moved the leaves over with my fork, to my surprise I hit the plate with ease. The salad was literally about one inch deep, it wasn't even as deep as the tines on the fork! Keep in mind this was an entree salad and not a side salad. I like how they do an eye trick, in giving you a giant bowl with a very wide brim, it makes you think you are getting more. I ate my salad in about 5 minutes and was very disappointed. The flavor was good, don't get me wrong. You can't really screw up greens, 4 slices of chicken, some canned mandarin oranges, pre-sliced cucumbers and a dressing that is a basic, sweet soy dressing. But for $11 even the Cheesecake factory gives me a larger bowl of salad. The Irish onion soup is a waste. Croutons are not whole pieces of bread that are soggy. You use croutons for a reason, so that it can soak up some of the liquid and stay decently together. It was also super salty (but I will admit, I live in a low-salt household, so I'm used to not using salt). The boyfriend (he posted a review below) had the Dublin burger and I just didn't think it worked on the firm ciabatta bread. It had two little squirts of ranch and bbq sauce, which barely made a streak of color on the bun. He ordered it medium and it was closer to medium rare and VERY pink. He managed to eat just under half of it and I knew at that moment, that it was bad. See, my boyfriend can pack away some pretty crappy food and he NEVER leaves that much burger on his plate. The wings were decent but for 8 wings for $10.95 it's not worth it. If you're going there for late night wings/greasy food and some drinks, go on ahead, but please don't go and expect a good meal. However, their stuffed baked potatoes looked good and I was kicking myself for not ordering one. Perhaps they are better... Oh, the fries were good!
