| - This place has a very welcoming feel, which is refreshing for a restaurant in a casino. We walked in and did a lap before choosing from a few of the open spaces at one of the bars. Yes ONE OF the bars i counted four in total, each in a different area of the restaurant, and each area provided a bit of a different atmosphere. Once settled on or stools, with some assistance from our friendly bartender for the evening (whom had already made his tip by my meassure just for his jersey he was wearing. Go Skins!). Wally, i believe was his name, came back around the bar introduced himself, guided us through the menu, suggested a few of his favorites, and gave us some time to think it all over. Once we reach decisions he was right there we went with a few of his suggestions i had the dark and stormy cocktail which combined two of my fav things rum and ginger beer. We started with the crab cakes which i only agreed to because Wally said he had lived on the east coast and we are from there (picky marylander about crabs). The boyfriend had the steak pie special for september, i had sausage and mash, both very very good didn't even need the sauces given/suggested with my sausage. The special was a little smaller thank expected but great since the crab cakes and side salad would have been a perfect size meal. The live irish duo band was nice, giving something to tap your feet to while you dine. We sat a little to close to the stage to have any kind of steady conversation but that was ok since we were so into our meals. Overall a great place to go for a feel of good irish comfort and food.
