My party of five and 1/4 ( 3 1/2yo darling grandaughter) were totally blown away by the food, and service we experienced at J K's P H.
Our server, Victor, was very congenial, and made sure we were happy with everything throughout our dinner.
At 4:00pm, when we arrived the restaurant, and bar were half full, by the time we left the whole place, restaurant, and both bars were filled to capacity.
Josie Kelly's has some really creative drinks the one that everyone one really liked was the Phoenix Margarita: a combination of tequila, muddled jalapeno, triple sec, prickly pear, lemonade, and salt, this is an off the hook refereshing drink, Josie Kelly's Irish Red was also really good.
Our appetizers, potato cakes, and portobello fries came out hot, and nicely seasoned, the coating on the portobello fries gave them a delicious crisp coating , they came with a tasty dipping sauce.
Darling grandaughter's chicken fingers, and sweet potato fries kept her happily occupied while the rest of us enjoyed our dinners.
We ordered pan seared cod, fish and chips, Shepherd's Pie, and Beef and Guinness Pie.
My dining partners told me the seared cod, fish and chips, and Shepherd's Pie were excellent, I had the Beef and Guinness Pie: tender pieces of beef and veggies cooked perfectly, in this heavenly tasting gravy, with a square of puff pastry layed gently atop this dish, wow, I can tell you living on and off in Great Britain for fifty years, this version was as good, and surpassed some of the ones that I have eaten across the pond. My only gripe would be that it, along with a few of the other entrees could have been a bit, larger...
Now to dessert, they served Crack Pie which is a great description for it because it is addicting as hell. Our service was pretty accurate in his description "it's like a pecan pie without the pecans". This pie with it's delicious crust that tastes just like crumbled up oatmeal cookies mixed with butter, and a delicious filling was so good it justed tasted like "more". The other desert was a chocolate cheesecake with a hint of Jameson Whiskey, well forget about cheesecake like you normally think about cheesecake, this was a velvety, chocolaty, smooth, and creamy combination of deliciousness, that was truly an unbelievable taste treat.
Josie's is now on my local favorite list, try it out you'll be glad you did.
