    Food took a long time to arrive, when it did it arrived cold. At the end of the meal I had to ask three different employees for a to go box. And 2 out of 3 bathroom stalls were clogged. Will not come again.

    My only complaint is more for Opentables. I made reservations at 6:30pm and even received an email confirmation, but when we got to the restaurant, they couldn't find my reservation at first. Later, they found out that somehow my reservation was at 11:45am.

    The amazing thing about AIH is the atmosphere. You come here with a reservation or not, you’re greeted at the door and the welcome feeling you receive is real. It’s like you’re visiting your fiend’s house. The welcome doesn’t end at the front door, it continued throughout the evening. The bar is fully stocked, the drinks were great; service with a smile. Flowers on the table, restrooms are roomy and clean. All in all an outstanding experience. We will be back!!

    The place was very cute! The food was pretty good but the service could’ve been better. Our server just wasn’t very good. We had to ask for appetizer plates after he brought our appetizer. We had to ask for more water and my husband had to ask for a beer twice. The server actually poured the beer, but left it on the counter and just forgot to bring it over.

    Only problems: service was a little tough to get after the food came. And the fries aren’t very good. But the fried fish is amazing.

    Authentic Irish food for a fair price. The appetizers were all good, the range of Irish beers was excellent, and the Guinness Steak Pie was a winner! It was karaoke night following a guitarist. The guitar was quiet and even hard to hear with normal crowd noise, but the karaoke was amplified and blasting and unfortunately, as with most karaokes, there were some singers who were never in tune and had terrible voices. Was not tolerable for those screeches which were heard even in the rest rooms. We will definitely return for the good food, but probably not on a Monday night.

    Fun place with a variety of entertainment. We went to hear a Blues Band as well as to dine. All the food was "fine" though my wife's order for grilled salmon was somehow "lost." One of our group arrived late, ordered food, as was served and still no grilled salmon. Finally showed up way overcooked and dry. My wife used my left-over tartar sauce to help with the dryness. The manager (?) came over and gave us a "free" bread pudding with ice cream to share with the 5 of us. She, obviously, did not know my wife is celiac. SIGH! So, good food, great entertainment but not the best experience. Last time was 5 stars but not this visit. We'll try again, I'm sure :)
