I enjoyed a solo dinner here and had a great seat overlooking the street which made for great people watching during my dinner. I enjoyed quick and efficient service, and had a great drink called a Pink Starburst. It was fruity and delicious. The burger was a bit dry and the pineapple would benefit from being roasted or grilled. The pork belly was really succulent and the chips were crispy.

This was the best meal I had in 9 days across Ireland, and, was the best steak I've ever had in my entire life of steak-eating. The cook on the steak was a perfect medium rare, the steak on its own tasted heavenly, and the creamy potatoes and garlic butter were a big compliment to the steak. I also ordered a side of sugar pit bacon which the sweetness of helped cut the richness of the steak and potato. I used most of the garlic butter in the potatoes, because the steak was just so good on its own with flaky sea salt. I sat down for dinner around 16:45 and was served by 17:00, and gone by 17:25. The waiter was very kind and very knowledgeable and explained a great deal of information to me regarding the steaks they had available. The drink, Checked Out, was really well done. I enjoyed that I could actually taste cocoa and cherry and it wasn't just overloaded with whiskey. I honestly could not have asked for a better last meal in Ireland during my vacation. Would highly recommend you stop in and enjoy a cut of Irish beef.

Enjoyed a nice steak and potato before a show nearby. The restaurant is really cute and it was delightful to have the window open upstairs while eating dinner. The 6oz filet ($30) tasted great, but was lacking salt. The cook was a perfect medium rare, hats off to the chef. The baked potato ($4) was soft and creamy, and the melted butter was great on the steak, too. The cheesecake ($8) tastes lemony and smooth. The service was good, and the waiter did a good job checking in. I would come back here for a nice quiet dinner. Did not see a cocktail menu, and it would have been nice to have one or two speciality cocktails to choose from.

Ordered doordash delivery for lunch on a Thursday. It got here in 20 minutes! I really enjoyed my meal -- great portion sizes that end up making 2 to 3 meals for me. The sesame chicken was really awesome and the sauce was closer to what I like as sesame sauce. It was sticky, slightly sweet, and you can add spice if you want. The chicken was crunchy and really fresh.
The rice was great, too. Grains were separated and fluffy and the rice was nicely seasoned. The cream cheese Rangoon were a highlight, of course -- they were very crispy and had the right amount of filling.

We live very close by but have not stopped in yet. Today, we ordered online and picked up. The reviews and pictures convinced us to give it a go. We were craving something a little different and this definitely hit the spot.
The brisket was very good. I enjoyed the flavor and the bark. The sauce, served on the side, perfectly complements the meat. The meat moat certainly stands alone, though. I ate quite a bit of the brisket and rib tips without any sauce. The sauce is thin, and like a sweet and sour profile. Very, very good and a nice change of pace from the sauce fiends here in the North.
As someone born and raised in Tennessee, this is by far the closest I've come to barbecue that taste like home. The corn casserole is just like Momma's, perfectly sweet and creamy. The mac and cheese actually tastes like CHEESE!
And of course, we capped off with banana pudding. The sweet server gave me an extra after I couldn't order it online today. I was verrrry grateful for that!
It was the perfect portion for lunch - small sides, small rib tips, and half pound of brisket for about $25.
