| - This meal included myself, two adults and a child. The child ordered macaroni and cheese with fries and a soft drink for $5.95. The macaroni and cheese was made with the real stuff. Unfortunately, the child loves the instant Cheesy-Mac, so most of her focus was on the drink and fries.
The wife ordered the fish and chips. It cost about $16 for fish and chips. She ate most of it, but lost heart toward the end. Since I did not try her fish, I asked, for the sake of comparison, if the fish was better than what she could get at Long John Silvers for about $11 less. She prefers Long John Silvers. Her coffee was $2.50.
The third guest was my mother. She went with the traditional Irish meal, corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes, for about $16. Mom was not impressed with the potatoes, describing them as "blah" (pushed to define "blah", she said it meant they had no taste). She did like the flavor of the corned beef, just commented that the meat was a little tough. I tasted the meat, and I thought it had good flavor (a salty meat with a chewy texture). I also tried the cabbage. We both liked the flavor and texture of the cabbage, not overcooked so it is soft or soggy, not undercooked so its like cole slaw.
I tried the Lobster Florentine eggs Benedict. They serve breakfast at night. It normally comes with hash browns or potatoes, but I got tomato slices. There was a fair amount of lobster (from the claws or arms, not tail). The lobster was placed on top of greens, that were on top of english muffin halves. It was topped with two poached eggs. The cost was $10.50, and I thought it was fair compared to other places that serve versions of Eggs Benedict. The taste was fine. My iced tea was $2.50.
Just a word of caution for those who like to scout out a place before eating there, the internet site's menus is so far from current, you will wonder if you are in the right place when they hand you the actual menus. The internet selection and cost are much better than what you'll find at the restaurant. We did let the waitress know, so maybe it will be corrected someday.
