My spouse and I live very close to Irish Embassy and have been regulars there for the past year. Dave the manager, all the bar stuff, and servers are always gracious, friendly, and kind when we come in. We have developed a great relationship with them The hubs loves their chicken club and gets it often as well.
HOWEVER, we went for a few drinks there this week to find out Dave had left. There was a few new servers and one was very rude to us and said we couldnt sit at any table as it was reserved, despite the fact there were several open tables. We told him Dave knows us and it is okay and thats when we were informed Dave has left. The server insisted we couldnt sit at any table, was very rude to us, but eventually gave in after we assured him we would move to the bar if people came in for the table. Surprise surprise no new patrons came into the bar and all the tables continued to remain free for the 2 hours we were there.
My spouse asked to meet the new manager since we come in often. The new manager was very rude to us, he was not friendly at all and seem annoyed we wanted to be polite and introduce ourselves. We felt very uncomfortable and unwelcomed after that and have decided Irish Embassy will no longer be our local go to spot.
To conclude, the food is decent, the bar staff are friendly, but the new management and servers are very unwelcoming and rude.
