*Was* our go to place forever. Unfortunately most things have become very inconsistent, especially the food. One time it's served hot and as ordered the next it is the complete opposite. Even music is is inconsistent. Sometimes blaring. Crowd is mostly older people trying to talk to each other and there's no need to have music blaring at mid day. Also, sadly it seems the excellent bartenders are gone: Brittany and Erin. However the young lady bartender with the glasses remains the one constant. She IS consistently unwelcoming - often abrupt and makes you feel like you are an annoyance. Not looking for the red carpet treatment but she just gives off a very negative vibe. Even who appears to be the manager seems disgruntled. Maybe he is setting the tone. There are some excellent servers I forget all the names, perhaps Hannah and Liz and I don't recall the young man's name. In any event I will be taking a break from this place. If you go ask for one of them if they haven't already moved on and hope for the best on food. Or just go for drinks.

What a great evening! Got here for happy hour, which is a really good one and decided to try a few fun things. Had the Boxty bites to start, which were amazing! And then followed it up with the McGrath’s Smoked Old Fashioned. I’ll try to post the video (no luck) but basically it’s an old-fashioned in a box being smoked with an Irish pinecone. What!?!? Never had anything like this. Even having had smoked old-fashioned before… never like this! The rest of our food was great! I had the bang bang, chicken, with some fries. Definitely worth coming to. Wait staff was amazing! Hat tip to Karli! *** On top of all this… It started raining when we are getting ready to leave. My mom is 86 and has a lot of difficulty walking. Uses a walker. It started raining HARD right when we were about to go outside. We waited a few minutes, but it didn’t let up. Of course, we didn’t have our umbrella. While I was opening the car door and trying to find something to shield us from the rain, the owner pulled up to drop something off, and wound up going to his own car and getting his umbrella and helping us out. Above and beyond! Thank you so much for being good people.

Really nice and food was amazing. The boy who attended us was friendly and nice. We had the crab cakes and glazed salmon, delicious!

The food is fair. The staff blames customers for their mistakes and the manager backs them up. More interested in turning tables than presenting a quality product. Definitely a place to frequent if you're satisfied with whatever the restaurant chooses to serve you but not a place to go with any expectations AT ALL.
