    Great food, very reasonably priced and service with a smile, I will return here as I was to try more dishes. The fish and chips were very good and I am a fish and chips snob after growing up in Seattle! Well done Con Murphy!

    Comfortable Irish pub with all the usual fare, well cooked and served. Fish and chips and shepherd’s pie are excellent. Desserts tasty too. It’s noisy so get a table upstairs.

    The food was absolutely delicious, but the service was some of the worst I’ve ever had. I had to go walk up to the bar to try and order drinks for our server to realize we needed something. After that the server checked on us once and we stayed at the restaurant for 2 hours.
