| - I was invited to this Irish pub for a group gathering and was pleasantly surprised by their menu full of seafood items. The interior included an enclosed outdoor patio full of ]tables and benches followed by a smaller dining interior. The atmosphere on that evening was hipsterish, very chill, with a college crowd at every turn. It was a nice place for people watching and to spend time with friends.
I had the Blue Point Oysters ($7/half dozen) and the oysters were fresh, tasty, and meatier than those at Crab Factory. I can eat these all day long. Highly recommend it.
The Grilled Salmon ($19) came with a good size salmon and a mix of sautéed vegetables. The salmon was blackened without the skin, on the dry side, and the mix of sautéed veggies needed salt and seasoning. This dish was too bland for my preference, I won't be ordering this again.
I also had the opportunity sample their appetizers and particularly enjoyed the Deep Fried Mushrooms and Zucchini ($8) and Mozzarella Sticks ($6). They were fried to perfection, addictive, and good for sharing.
Service was limited to ordering, bringing food to our table, and bringing the check. Parking is plentiful for a location so close to campus. I hope to come back for the oysters and items such as the Steamed Clams and Shrimp Cocktails.
