"Homey atmosphere for a midweek lunch. Quiet, wood burning fireplace was going, guests and servers were all super friendly. Try the street corn-style carrots if they’re available!"

"Well let me see. I was expecting a lot more. We'll start with the appetizer. Got a cheese board. came with asiago cheese in gongazola cheese, which I don't like. Couple pieces of bread, olives, few pickles it was okay. We also got the stuffed mushrooms , which were delicious. They were good .Then we each ordered soup. I got minestrone soup ,which was more just like a vegetable soup with a couple beans at it .My granddaughter got the potato leek soup. she liked it. we each ordered a salad. She ordered the beat salad. I ordered the Caesar salad. They were good,nicepresentation. This is where the disappointment comes in. I got the seafood Fra diablo. It's presented in a nice big bowl filled with linguine ,a few muscles,some incredibly small baby shrimp, I'm talking small. Check out the pictures. The sea scallops 2,are big, but they are breaded and fried , over fried. They were tough and chewy. A big disappointment.Then little baby calamari , whole, again breaded and overcooked. fried ,not adding to the flavor of the food at all so . I was very disappointed. my granddaughter on the other hand got the rainbow snapper with grilled potatoes and leak. She really like the grilled snapper. It was a little overcooked but she still ate it and she like the potatoes and she also ordered herself a dessert. The lemon polenta cake with lemon curd and whipped cream ,she really enjoyed it. I was disappointed. I heard a lot of praise about this place and I was expecting a gastric orgasm which I did not get. Maybe they should stick to the Irish food. Leave the Italian food to the Italians. Just saying. The atmosphere was quaint and charming. Several named rooms with 5 tables made the experience more enjoyable. Our waiter did a great job and was very helpful."

"Off the beaten path restaurant located on golf course. Experience is very akin to places in Ireland, where old houses are converted into dining rooms. Reservations are a must and only opens at noon on Saturdays. Bangers in onion gravy with piped mashed potatoes was excellent. Good selection of Irish whiskey too. Must go again when next in town."

"Fabulous meal made even better by our server Gerard. Outstanding fare, skillfully suggested, prepared and presented with pride. The menu is sumptuous and contains wonderful choices. An impressive whiskey and wine collection and wonderful craft cocktails. The desserts were the topper. Just a fantastic dining experience. We’re going to come back. Highly recommended."
