"The Irish pub and restaurant screens both the previous week’s and new episodes of GoT. The GoT-themed menu includes charred Dothraki artichoke hearts, deep-fried turkey leg, pigeon pie, sausages, and Sansa Stark’s favorite lemon cake." - Nina Hernandez
"Chronicle critic Melanie Haupt reviewed Irish pub Darcy’s Donkey, and described it as “fine.” The restaurant’s appetizers started the meal on a sour note, with fries where “the bacon tasted defrosted and the fries wanted salt” and a quail dish she called “bland, but inoffensive.” The entrees were more successful, with “nigh perfect” fish and chips and a variety of savory pies: For brunch, Haupt had the Paddy’s Sammy which she called “a great big oaf of a sandwich” that was full of calories in a good way; and the chocolate stout cake French toast, which she found mildly disappointing. Overall, she understood the appeal and appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, but doubted she would keep it in her dining rotation." - Erin Russell
