   We had a reservation through open table and were immediately seated after checking in. I got the adobo eggs benedict for brunch and it was fantastic. Such a unique take and still super flavorful. The pork was tender, the egg was poached perfectly, and the jalapeño cornbread was fluffy. It wasn’t spicy like I expected. I got the salted caramel moroccan coffee and it was okay. Very salty and alcohol forward. It was served hot, but when I saw the whipped cream on top and the glass it was served in, I mentally felt like it should’ve been cold. We’ve been to the location in Glade Parks, and this location at Grandscape maintained the same vibe. We’ve had the beer flight before which is a great bang for your buck if you don’t know what kind of beer you like. Since we had done the flight before, we knew we liked the Pecan Porter and it was super tasty.

   Too loud to have any type of conversation, but food and service were as expected.

   Great place for fun or watching a game. Loud environment, but the service is top notch and the food is always extremely good. Nice craft cocktails.

    A bit disappointed for St. Patrick's Day that the cool upstairs portion was not open for seating. The downstairs at the location in The Colony is too noisy and outside it hit or miss bc it's so cold and service is slower outside. We ended up sitting outside anyway and also disappointed that they ran out of Corned Beef & Cabbage entree. The Scotch eggs are amazing and was our original draw to this restaurant along with having the pineapple cider on tap, please don't take either off the restaurant. The potato pancakes were quite think, would be better thinner like a more traditional one or Irish Boxty. It would be really cool since you are the closest to an Irish or British pub this side of the pond to have a DJ, or playing Irish music on this day and make it a really cool event with the upstairs and outside open, decorated and staffed.
