    Perfect place for pre theater dinner and drinks. Sampler appetizer was very tasty and all freshly cooked items. Steak sandwich was also delicious. Lots of choices. Service was both friendly and quick. Very well located less than a block to Shubert Theater.

    We chose this restaurant for location, near our Broadway show down the block. It was lively (not unexpected) but a little too noisy for those of us with "old ears"! The food was good, although my pasta primavera could have offered more veggies, and my husband said the fish and chips were just fine.

    O’Donoghue’s is our go to when we go to Broadway. With a reservation we never wait for a table. Their burgers and Irish pub faves are excellent. Great service and very reasonable prices. I recommend their chicken pot pie. Delicious!

    Food, Service, and Ambience were all good. And the location is very close to Broadway theaters. The lower rating was due to the men's room toilet being so dirty, as to be unusable, which is unacceptable. This required a long return to the hotel, and a near catastrophe.

    Pot pie was subpar. Tasted like frozen pot pie with a pastry on top.
