The Irish stew is one of the best items here along with their free soda bread. I have tried to make these dishes at home but it is never half as good and I am a decent cook :) The courtyard is where I normally dine at. There is a large tree in the middle of the courtyard, there are dining tables surrounding the tree. It is very relaxing experience and it brings a wonderful outdoor dining ambiance. The staff are always very nice and accommodating. Overall it’s a wonderful place to bring a date, or even your family. There is something for everyone here, including vegetarians.

What a fantastic Irish pub! After our visit to Laguna Beach, we decided to stop by for some drinks and dinner. I tried the Spicy Skinny Cucumber Margarita (made with 21 Seeds Cucumber Jalapeno Tequila, lime, agave, and a black salt rim) and it was very good ! The Bangers and Mash (served with peas, carrots, creamy mash, and warm Dijon sauce) was also delicious. The Doon’s Brussels Sprouts (crispy sprouts glazed with honey and sherry, topped with toasted hazelnuts and shaved pecorino romano) was a real treat. We even shared a scrumptious dessert, the Classic Trifle (layers of pound cake, cream, and fruit, finished with whipped cream and seasonal fruit). Besides the tasty food and drinks, the pub's atmosphere was lovely, featuring outdoor seating with a big tree in the center. We chose to sit outside since we had our dog with us. The staff were also very nice. I really wish I lived nearby so I could visit this place over and over!

We stumbled upon this hidden gem entirely by accident. After returning from a trip to London and craving a proper English breakfast, we found this place through a quick search and decided to give it a try. While it turned out to be an Irish pub rather than an English one, they offered an Irish breakfast that absolutely hit the spot. We loved the food, the warm atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality from John, who even gave us a tour of the place. It quickly became one of our favorite spots. We’ve been for both lunch and dinner—both of which I highly recommend. Some of my personal favorites include the steak and eggs, shepherd’s pie, fish and chips, and Irish stew. And don’t forget the soda bread! It’s so good that heading here for breakfast on a Saturday or Sunday has become a tradition for us. Sitting by the fireplace in the beautifully designed dark-wood dining room transports us back to London, capturing that same cozy pub charm. The staff here is truly fantastic—always welcoming and a joy to see. We look forward to catching up with our favorites: Amber, her sister Bree, Hannah, and the newest addition, Taylor. They’re all amazing and make every visit even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for great food, warm hospitality, and a cozy, inviting atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Fun, warm, cozy, pub and indoor/outdoor dining experience with a variety of beers, cocktails, and modern Irish menu. Easy place to hang at and grab a drink with entertainment or a dinner date. Attentive servers. Follow GPS for parking, seeing it from the street does not equate to driveway access.

Great atmosphere, especially when the bands are playing. My poke stack was decent, but the rice was pasty like potatoes..

Wednesday is $25 roast beef dinner night. Walked over from VEA and sat in the heated courtyard. Had to refrain myself from devouring the fresh, warm Irish soda bread before my meal arrived. Great food, polite and efficient service. If you arrive early enough you get happy hour pricing on the beer too! Ordered dessert but had to take it to go...fruit shortcake that went down all right for breakfast the next morning. Best value for the buck in the area and the music was AWESOME! Smiths, Depeche Mode, U2, the Cure, etc...it's all you need for a good time!

The burger, beer and staff were excellent with no question!!. Completely Sorted. I would highly recommend you stop by to emerge yourself in a unique atmosphere and enjoy a perfect meal. Don’t miss out, I know I won’t and will surly be back.

Cool layout with typical Irish Pub decor, an excellent list of menu dishes & beverages. My Irish stew was very hearty, ample portion of tender beef, &; carrots, potatoes were cooked right. The soda bread added to heartiness & full feeling of my entree. I had the non alcoholic Guinness beer, which is always great tasting. I will come back for the atmosphere & food. So far so good at Mulldoon's.

Great Classic Gem of Newport Beach! Tucked away next fashion island, I had never been here even after living in OC my whole life. This place has been around for a very long time and their aesthetic definitely shows that, but in a cool and antique way. Staff is very friendly! I came with a friend on a Friday night around 9pm and had a great time in the dining room, the bar area was full. Drinks and food are very reasonably priced! Only thing that cost more than anywhere else is a Guinness, but you're in an Irish Pub, I'd charge more too, people are gonna buy it, like me. Got a steak frites which was great. Saw a bunch of pastramis going out that I want to try next time! Will be back

Let me start off by saying I've always loved Muldoons and will continue to dine in there because it is very nostalgic to myself and my family. Just went there on a Monday to enjoy the annual Dickens holiday theme and ambience. The decor was pretty but the Monday night football dominated the scene and completely destroyed the Holiday vibe. To be fair we were on the patio and there are many screens out there with the game on. I'm sure the dining room was fine but I would suggest that the volume on the TV be muted and music played instead of the game audio. It was so loud and the commercials being super frequent are not something you want to listen to when you're out to dinner. The food was good as always. Ticket time for the food was longer than usual and post meal table service lagged a bit. I understand the restaurant industry and know how things can vary from night to night depending on staffing and such, but a couple of small adjustments would've made a world of difference.

Such an awesome spot, whether it's for date night, happy hour, or even to host an event! They have an awesome outside dining area and great bar to watch any game. They host trivia on Tuesday nights at 7pm and have .89 cent wings! The staff is very friendly and their bartender, James, is the best! The bread served during dinner is SOO GOOD! My bf enjoyed his steak frites and I tried the Shepard's pie. They didn't lay light on the meat, I prefer more potatoes! But the carrots on top were prepared perfectly. A great place to checkout!

No complaints here! Good service and portions. The service was fast and it's one of the nicest Irish pubs I've seen in a while. It's dark and intimate. Parking wasn't hard but I went on a Tuesday night. Note: The Shepards pie uses some type of gravy instead of broth and was quite filling.

The service and food was 10/10. It honestly blew me away the food and drinks here. We got Brussels sprouts, shepherds pie, Irish stew, and corned beef & cabbage. All dishes were 10/10. The atmosphere was really pretty too. Gonna come back here for sure.

This was a great low-key pub with comfort food. There is an outdoor courtyard with a large tree canopy cover, it gives it an indoor feel with lights and bistro tables. There is plenty of room to have a larger party: we had a group of 15. Tuesday night was jeopardy and it was a big hit for our group. I had the Irish stew and Joel and fish and chips. The stew was a great blend of meat, veggies, and mash potatoes: comforting now that the temps dropped.

4.5 rating... Something was off, just slightly. I don't know if it was the time of day (Sunday evening) or if it felt a little sticky... Overall, the staff was kind and attentive, the food was very tasty, and it was easy to get a seat. They have a few TVs at the bar and lots of whiskey and Irish beers. I had the Shepherd's Pie and the ate all of the soda bread!! Very good and tasty just like you would get in Ireland!

Saw an Instagram post and decided to check out this restaurant as I love Irish pubs. Really nice, very homey feeling, great staff and bar tender, shout out to Jason Sat at the bar and really liked the atmosphere. Had my go to drink Tullamore D.E.W with honey on the rocks. Can't go wrong with this drink. Also had the soda bread and Sheppards pie. So tasty Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back soon. Remember to do random acts of kindness as it will make everyone feel wonderful. Happy Yelping. Please follow me for more awesome reviews

Muldoon's has been here for ages. We've passed by numerous times and never tried. We gave it a go recently. Cool classic interior. Good service. Extensive food and drink options. Solid pub vibes. Wifey got the Reuben and I went with my standard fish and chips. The Reuben was so-so. The fish was soggy and mushy to the point that I wondered if it was cooked all the way. Fries were decent. They had 805 blond on draft, a plus. Prices are reasonable for the area (Newport). If we happen to be at Fashion Island, we'd probably re-visit. I would go with something other than the fish and chips tho.

Food was good but to be honest I've had a better Ruben before. Service was not the best the server did not even refill our waters up so no bueno. The ambiance was cool especially for a Sunday night. It was pretty chill. This place was cool for the surroundings but food and service need some work.

Ordered Steak Frites...And Split It Into Two Portions...Amazing...And We Were Able To Get Our Steak Cooked Medium Rare And European Style French Fries. Very Knowledgeable & Professional Female Server Traci & Sol Also Had A Wonderful Attitude. Sat In The Cozy Courtyard With Cute Autumn Leaves Floating Down Effortlessly Onto The Beautiful Stone Surface. Food & Service Will Exceed Your Expectations.

We came for brunch and the college football watch party and had a great time! Loved the food, drinks, and lively atmosphere -- perfect for game day. Only small feedback is that the food came out a bit lukewarm and service could have been more attentive. Still, the flavors and vibes more than made up for it. We'll definitely be back!

Made a reservation was seated at a booth. The ambience was very special lightly dimmed and very Irish. We had a lovely waitress named, Traci, who brought us drinks. She was very nice and sweet. For appetizer we ordered lemon pepper chicken wings. The taste was absolutely amazing. We love the seasoning. For dinner we ordered bangers and mash with an extra banger so we have three bangers and mash with green peas. The flavor of the bangers were phenomenal. The dinner was delicious. We really enjoyed our time at Muldoon's Irish pub Newport Beach. I recommend Muldoons Irish Pub

Every year we try to go somewhere for St Patrick's Day. This year we came to Muldoon's. Never been here and did not know they had indoor and outdoor seating which was good because all the loud people were outside and we ate inside. We started with the soda bread which I honestly had never heard of. It was so good. My wife ordered her dirty martini which was okay, but was very strong. We ordered the whiskey wings, but the only had like a Smokey grill flavor, which was a bit much. My daughter got the Irish stew and just gobbled it up it was so good. My wife hade the shepards pie and loved it. She loved the mashed potatoes that came with it, and I had the Reuben sandwich which was terrific. Will definitely come back here because the food is just so good.

Do you long for old world charm and excellent food? Muldoons Irish Pub is the place. It is located near Fashion Island. Parking is in the back of the pub. The interior is stepping into Europe. You can just imagine rolling hills of green grass, misty shores of white sand, and gentle sheep grazing nearby. There is fireplace and small booths, like the interior of a ship. They deliver to you some soda bread and butter as you sit down. It is kind of like food heaven. The menu is Irish for sure. Corned beef and hash, Rueben sandwiches and steaks and chicken are all there. The service is excellent. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. Sharing is the way to go. Be sure to get the Banger Bites as an appetizer. It comes with a warm mustard sauce. I love this place.

Visited Muldoon's on a whim before a concert in Newport and discovered a gem! Upon arrival you walk into an open air patio and then entering the restaurant you're transported to an authentic Irish pub feeling like you traveled to Dublin. It's dark and moody with its wood paneled walls and dark green and floral wallpaper. Even the windows with its old metal locks and vintage glass add beautiful detail. Look towards the ceiling for some fun Irish sayings on the walls. Let's get to the food... warm rye bread is served with butter to start. It has a cake texture and the rye isn't too strong. We didn't order Irish food this first visit. Instead we ordered their Steak Pasta served on top of pasta mixed in a creamy pesto sauce and veggies. Delicious. The Pub Fried Chicken Sandwich was also fantastic. Perfectly fried chicken breast and garlicky Buffalo sauce on a brioche bun. Our host and server were both friendly even on a busy Friday night. Food came out pretty quickly and we were checked on regularly which is really appreciated. I'll be back to try some spirits and Irish fare.

We came here for lunch on a big college game day, and there were quite a few fans meeting up to watch some games. My favorite team has been a disappointment this year so I focused on the food. first, the parking is free and easy. the seating is nice in either an outdoor patio or a pub like interior. Try the Shepherds Pie and also the Poke Tower. very enjoyable place.

Muldoon's has such a unique vibe inside and out, and the food holds up pretty well to the atmosphere. The soda bread has definitely gotten smaller since my last visit, but it's softer now, which I actually prefer. The cauliflower wings with BBQ sauce were surprisingly really good! If I hadn't known they were plant-based, I would've assumed they were chicken. I had the baby lamb chops, which were excellent, especially paired with the creamy mashed potatoes. However, the mint sauce was one of the strangest things I've ever eaten. The jelly-like texture and toothpaste flavor completely threw me off. I didn't bother with it. The hot fudge sundae. It was simple but went above expectations thanks to the toffee streusel on top. Service was kind, just a tad slow. Overall, still a great time at this iconic pub

We got to stop in at Muldoon's Irish pub and enjoyed a drink and the great shepherds pie. We started off with the banger bites. This is a very nice location. The service here is excellent. The inside has two bars one side had a live band which we enjoyed very much. The middle of the restaurant is the eating area with nice tables a taste of the outside weather I have to say this is been a great enjoyment, eating here and talking with all the great people that work here and visit here we will be back for sure

Lovely spot with holiday ambiance and good food. Outside pad in Fashion Island area with its own separate open free parking lot. Easy access and plentiful parking spaces. Outside seating area is adorable and inside is a warm rustic feel. Varied menu either Irish Stew, Shepards Pie, Fish Chips, Salmon, Salads, etc.. the appetizers of Brussel sprouts. Bangers were excellent, I could eat that sausage as a meal. The Shepards Pie was good, a little runny to me but my husband loved it. Fish & Chips were alright; I've had bigger cod pieces and was average. Drinks - the holiday wassail drink with crabapple and cinnamon stick was superbly delicious and would go just for that drink! The service was great, attentive, timely, friendly. Would recommend and go again!

Old school vibe. It felt very Irish especially with Jon as your server and his accent. We learned that Jon has been with Muldoon's for a very long time and it shows. He takes a lot of pride in his service and knowledge of the menu. The way he carries himself and his professionalism made me think he was a manager maybe covering for staff shortage, but I was wrong. Jon is an asset to the Muldoon's team. The food we ordered was good, fresh and great quality. The corned beef sandwich was very tender and well made I had to inquire if they cured their own corned beef and it was confirmed by Jon. My wife got the steak pasta and it too was well prepared. Muldoon's offers a full bar snd they even have a room designed for private group parties. I am curious to try some of the other traditional Irish dishes.

Decided to try the happy hour menu... The food was good ... the experience with our server Taylor was great. She was constantly checking on us... asking what we need and how was the food? Courtney who apparently overheard our conversation asked if she can offer a taste of their sweet wine . The staff at this restaurant are very attentive and the ambience welcoming. The manager seems to always making sure the guests are served efficiently and experience of good dining are met.

First time there with a friend from Dana Point who has been there a number of times in the past. Cute "Irish Pub" feel, moderately busy on a weekday afternoon in August. We didn't eat, stopped for a drink. I was very pleased to see they had the Italian beer 'Peroni' on tap...having a "thing" for European beers in general, this was a welcome development! I ordinarily have to fight down all the microbrew crap everyone is serving these days. Sorry fellas, the folks in Italy, Ireland, especially Germany are doing it WAY BETTER than you, all day every day. First time I drank 3 pints of ANY beer anywhere one after the other in at least a year, since I toured MN, WI, Chicago last fall. Good looking Muldoon's! Could have had 5stars if bartender wasn't stuck at opposite end of bar when we wanted refills. Al in all, would return in a minute.

Food Very Delicious Food and Drinks Very reasonable portions. Coffee with their special whipped cream was very good Corned Beef & Cabbage was very delicious. Cabbage was okay, enjoyed the corned beef. It wasn't dry at all, it went well with the dijon mustard. The carrot and potato was not soft, it could have been cooked longer to be soft to eat. My portion was the split portion, so it was very large meal, which is worth the $26. Brussel Sprouts was a huge portion and soo delicious. Worth the $15. Enjoyed our server, she was the best! It was a great first visit. It was just very cold inside because it was almost like outdoors.

First time trying what seems to be a fun, local spot for food and drinks! We made reservations and sat outside in this cool courtyard patio with a big tree in the center. Service was friendly and attentive and food came out quickly. We ordered some drinks and chips to start, they also give you a complimentary sweet soda bread for the table. For food we tried the more popular items on the menu, the fish & chips and beef stew, yum can't go wrong with either! For an Irish pub, it met my expectations. It also gets lively at night with live music at the Celtic bar just to the left of Muldoons. Overall good vibes and a fun date night spot!

Came here for OC restaurant week, vibe is amazing and food is hearty! We had a reservation here so got seated pretty quickly. Restaurant was around 75% full at 6 PM. For food we got the Brussels sprouts, banger bites, lamb chops, fried chicken, and the trifle. For drinks we got Guinness and Irish coffee. Guinness was smooth, and easy to drink, great on a cold day. Irish coffee wasn't too strong and not overly sweet. Banger bites (9/10)-not overly greasy and salty, good appetizer, comes with side of cheese and mustard sauce. Brussel sprouts (7/10)-little too charred but combo with bacon can't go wrong next time would like it to be less charred Fried chicken (8/10)-smothered in gravy, good comfort food, mashed potatoes were creamy and portion wasn't too big. Lamb (8/10)-fresh and not too gamey, one of the better lambs I've had Strawberry trifle (8/10)-light and fresh, portion was a bit small I could have eaten three of those. Overall pleased with the vibe and food, Would love to come to HH my next visit.

I went to Muldoon's to have evening with my girlfriend and this place delivers. We came in around 5:45 and didn't wait at all to get seated. The table we got to sit at was located on the outside patio where we wanted. We started the night with the Irish Soda Bread, which was small but warm with a nice and soft butter on the side. Solid bread and tastes great. We then followed up with the Cauliflower Wings and I gotta say these are incredible! We chose the BBQ on top of them and they tasted remarkable, even with the side of ranch they made green to match the restaurant. The entrees came out after which I got the Fish and Chips and my girlfriend got the Baby Lamb Chops. The fish and chips were decent, as good as you'd expect. However the fries felt like they lacked a lot of seasoning to it. My girlfriend enjoyed the lamb chops however I didn't get to have a bite. But the sauce that came on the side was not great at all. It was minty and had the texture of Jell-O giving it an almost foul response. Putting that off to the side the food was good. Then to end it we had the Hot Fudge Sundae, and I gotta say that the Sundae is one of the best items on their menu. The ice cream was plain vanilla but then the crushed crumbles in there packed a lot of flavor with some incredible fudge! Overall the food was great. I will say these lights did take a solid minute to come on when we were there so it got pretty dark while eating, and the food did take a few moments longer while waiting for each course. But the view of the patio with the tree in the center was a good distraction in the meantime.

The food was amazing. We got bangers and mash and shepherds pie some real Irish dishes and they were legit. We will definitely be back to try some more amazing food. We did an experience any of the bar scene, but it looked really cool. We really don't drink much but we came for the food at dinner time and it was amazing service and really cool outdoor patio. It feels like you're in an Irish tavern in Ireland with the cool aesthetic features of the building, and the overall vibe everyone is very friendly. The service is very fast and the food just kicks butt with flavor. Can't wait to go back.

We were greeted promptly by Nick and seated straight away. The decor is definitely Irish Pub! It sets the tone for a friendly atmosphere. We both went for a Guinness stout, which turned out to be a perfect pour. The Rueben sandwiches were hearty portioned and delicious. Their corned beef was flavorful and tender. Given the choice of sides, recommend going with the house chips. Really good with a dash of malt vinegar. After such a hearty lunch, we're off for a walk. Cheers!

I love the layout and visuals. It's got old fashioned architecture and almost feels like a Disneyland ride. Food and drinks are reasonably priced. Plenty of free parking in the shared lot. This might be my favorite bar in Newport Beach.

I have been going here since 1981. The food has always been great, Irish pub fair. Most days are peaceful and quiet inside, as a true Irish pub is. Service had always been fast and friendly. Our server Courtney was always smiling. I remember the many nights I went there to listen to the entertainment from Jerry Siggins, who became a great friend.

Muldoon's is such a cool spot where you can enjoy some classic Irish dishes and drinks! I loved the vibe of this place. Walking in, you see their beautiful courtyard with plenty of tables outdoors. At night, the courtyard is lit up with twinkling lights creating a gorgeous atmosphere. They also have seating indoors. This place wasn't super crowded when I visited, but I can imagine that it can get crowded, especially during the weekend. The food here was hearty and flavorful. I tried the Irish stew and the bangers and mash. The bangers and mash were my favorite. Everything is delicious, even the carrots haha. You definitely end up feeling full after finishing your meal. I also love that they serve you a "proper" Guinness here. Our server was so attentive and courteous. Definitely a unique spot to visit in Newport Beach if you want a taste of Ireland. I would love to come back to try other Irish dishes such as their shepherd's pie and corned beef & cabbage.

Warning. Menu Changes: As longtime clients, our family - including nieces & nephews have been dining here for 30+ years. Now adults, coming here as children with us and their grandparents, we are not happy with the some of the menu changes. Where is the Seafood Louis salad? Gone! Where is the beautiful dreamy creamy trifle cake with berries? Gone! Replaced by--Poke at an Irish pub? We had already made a reservation for next week with these favorites in mind; will keep but with disappointment. Btw, the Guinness stew is delicious but a bit too peppery. We have had, over the years mostly enjoyable dinners and fabulous servers.

This is a diner destination, at Newport Center, yes for the beach area, that won't break the bank, it is historic in its true western European feel that you will enjoy- And, you can park once and walk to the movies. It won't make you sorry and, the service is great and many of the old Irish menu items can be found. Enjoy.

I love Irish pubs in general, but Muldoon's raises the bar. Classy yet casual. They pour a perfect Guinness. Perfect! The soda bread appetizer sets the tone; simple, yet elevated to cult status. And not sure what they do to their Irish stew.... but dangs. I've tried other things, all very good, but I keep coming back to the stew. Simply fabulous. We keep lucking out with our server, too. We typically go for a birthday, and they always makes it feel like a special event. Nice job, Muldoon's!

Food-amazing, service-amazing, ambiance-amazing!!! We sat on the beautiful patio but anywhere you sit is lovely. I had so much fun looking around at the small details while we waited for our food. The staff were quick, happy, and kind. Our waiter made menu suggestions and had a great smile. The bread is delicious! And I loved that they offered a "pub size" happy hour shepherd's pie. It was all fabulous! May your *restaurant* always be too small to hold all your friends Muldoons

Fun atmosphere; friendly, professional, and attentive staff -- who've never made us feel rushed; a variety of seating options (indoor intimate dining room, lively bars, or airy patio); and very good food. Hubby loves the rich-&-savory flavors of their Irish Stew ($22); I've enjoyed their Corned Beef & Cabbage ($26), as well as their Veggies & Cheese Pub Potato ($12). Good cocktails, too!

An Irish pub? Ok! The restaurant itself is cute, lots of natural lighting. Wings were cold and weird tasting -not sure if fully cooked because chicken was cold and there was still a lot of pink. Corned beef was incredibly dry and inedible Steak was cold and chewy. Banger sausage -the only tasty dish worth raving about. Pie had little peas but generous with beef -tasty and the only hot dish. Overall, lackluster and disappointing experience. Had a lot of leftovers that neither of us wanted to eat. Not sure the high reviews -maybe it was an off day ?

Very nice place, they have good lagers the price is pretty good they also have cocktails for a fair amount, to be honest I didn't feel it was overpriced, it's never super crowded you don't have to wait hours for a drink, there is always available tables. I really enjoyed this place. But If you want to come for st Patrick's it's way different be prepared for the overpriced beer and to be stand up all night, it's really fun though.

I visited Muldoon's Irish Pub today, and it was an incredibly great experience. The ambiance inside is very cozy. Our waitress was extremely friendly and so were the other employees. The menu has a wide selection of sandwiches, appetizers, and other meals. The Bangers appetizer was extremely flavorful and juicy. I ordered the Muldoon's Reuben, and it was absolutely delicious. The corned beef was tender and well-seasoned. The French fries were also good. I also like their honey mustard sauce. It was served with the Bangers. It also tasted good in the sandwich and fries. If you are looking for an Irish pub, I highly recommend visiting Muldoon's.

This place was poppin' when coworkers and I went one weekday night (Thursday). Not sure if there was a game playing but it was raining so seats were limited. They have an area with open roof and tree in the center that was flooded a bit with puddles of water. The scone bread thing they give out for free is delish but you have to ask for it. It comes with this butter? Yummy combo. Got there in time for happy hour. Got the traditional burger which was yummy, pub nachos which were alright, pub fries which were good and wings which were good.

Made last minute Mother's Day plans because other plans fell through and stumbled upon this gem! This place is so much bigger when you go inside than you would expect from looking on the outside! Such a quaint joint that transports you to Ireland. It's clean and service is great. We came on a day that they had a live band and it really added to the atmosphere! So much fun!! All the food was very good as well. My in laws really loved it and said it's their new spot! We will definitely be back

Muldoon's Irish pub is an amazing dining spot. Initially thinking that this was only a bar I was pleasantly surprised by the large variety of items on the menu. One of the amazing things about this restaurant is that it's outdoor. Looks like it is inside. There are really beautiful outdoor ambience yet covered enough to make it feel like you are half inside. I have eaten here several times, and the food here has always been stellar. This time I ordered the shepherd's pie or cottage pie. However, I have ordered other items here and they have always been good. The server here was very nice very quick to take my order and checked up on me quite often. Even though I was in single individual sitting in the restaurant, they paid attention to me, even in spite of it being a busy evening. I highly recommend coming here if you ever crave any Irish pub food because it is actually very well done and tasty .
