Very disappointed. Have been coming here for several years. There were some glitches here and there reopening after Covid. We were here few months ago and ordered calamari, haddock and shrimp tacos. Calamari was good and the haddock was two good size pieces. We went again two and half weeks ago around 8.30 pm on a Saturday and the place wasn't busy at all. Servers were friendly and attentive. We ordered calamari to share and haddock and fish cakes as main course. Calamari came totally overcooked and was dark brown color. Haddock arrived and was just one piece and the preparation was different from what we had here in the past. My fish cakes were the most disappointing. They were the size of small risotto balls. Nothing like what one would expect fish cakes would be. We are not really into big portions but this was really surprising. And NO, I am not going to tell my disappointments about the food to the server. I worked in the industry and I know how this would change the dynamic between the server and the diner. Server is not responsible for the portion of the food being served and a cook knows if the calamari is over cooked and inedible before put it in the plate and send it to the dining room. I hate to write a bad review and I know the owner does not like anything less than 4 stars and will verbally attack you here below the review. One could see the pattern on the reviews below. I am not sure what happened to this place. Used to be a fun place with good food and awesome staff.

Fantastic atmosphere, Fantasic Service, Fantastic Food.Dinner service was crowded, but the water was very good at his job and gave us sufficient time to scan the menu. With so many intriguing items, it was hard to decide.Meals came out in good time, and were not only visually impressive, but delicious also.The Guiness was also cold! lol

Irish pub. Our server was Samantha and she was very friendly. I tried the P.E.I. mussels with a gluten free bun on the side, and my partner had the Kinkenny fish and chips. The mussels were okay, the white sauce at the bottom was flavorful. The mushy peas with the fish and chips were a hit. The fish was crispy on the outside. Tartar sauce was homemade. The bar was really loud, I couldn't hear the people across the table from us lol but it's nice if you're looking to just hangout and listen to some music and drink a few beers. We sat inside, but the patio is big and seemed welcoming.

Attended on Sunday April 02 at 11 am. I can't remember the servers name but he was very personable, charming, and efficient with the perfect amount of attentiveness. Food was excellent, atmosphere was very good. I dont eat out much any more but this is a great place to have brunch, lunch or dinner. Kudos!

Was pretty disappointed with the food/service here. I guess I had higher expectations given the reviews. Very bland, mediocre pub food, except for the steak sandwich which was not bad, but the rest of us had to pump the salt to give it some flavour. We ordered off the feature menu which is where we may have went wrong, maybe just stick to the main menu. Staff seemed pretty overwhelmed as well, but that’s common these days.

Busy evening. Servers were pleasant but seemed stretched very thin. Food took more than 45 minutes to be served and felt as though it sat under a heat lamp. Good place just for drinks but don't expect a decent meal. Won't go back for food.

Love the setting, and the food is great! Good place to meet up with friends. The service was good, just a tad too serious maybe (4.5/5). I enjoyed my steak sandwich!

This is our new go to place to get great food and incredible service - tonight we were served by Samantha, she was absolutely amazing. So fun to chat with, super accommodating and friendly with our 10 month old. Will definitely be back soon!

Good food, great staff and atmosphere. If you're headed there on a friday evening prepare for it to be very busy, worth the wait!
