    We have been patrons of Alhambra Irish House for many years and have done a few private parties. We went on Father's Day for dinner. The restaurant had very few people that evening (mostly at the bar). The service was terrible. I'm not sure if our server was new but it took forever to get properly served. She forgot our drink order and it took almost 30 minutes to get them. She was inattentive and only stopped by twice thereafter to drop off our food and pick up the plates. What I presume is the manager on duty came out to our table to apologize for the delay in our food delivery. I'm not sure what the problem was that evening but it was not the normal great service we have come to expect. I would have understood if the place had been packed, but it was very light that evening. We were comped for one of our meals which helped, but it just wasn't a great experience overall. The food was outstanding as usual so that was the one bright note.

    Went for Trivia night (3rd time going). Service was great. Server was consistently checking on us, she was friendly, and knowledgeable about drink menu. Even when she went on break, she informed us and someone else came and checked if we were good on drinks and such. Only negative thing I can think of is that it got a bit hot inside. Other than that, this place is nice.

    Five stars! Can't wait to go back! This place swaggered into the spot of one of my old downtown Redwood City favorites and, honestly? I love it even more! Everyone was super kind, the waitstaff was on point with their recs and info, and the food was not only delicious but also zoomed out to us, hot and ready. We're talking seriously traditional Irish grub and a fantastic selection of Irish beers on tap – pure bliss! It’s got that classy pub vibe, so expect a lively buzz rather than quiet dining, which is absolutely perfect. Guess what? Thursdays are trivia night, starting at 7:30 PM! If you're itching to play, I'd suggest rolling in around 7. We had such a blast, and seriously, I'm already dreaming of my next visit! Just a heads-up for those Thursday-to-weekend visits after 6 PM: parking in downtown RWC can be a bit of a treasure hunt. I'd recommend adding an extra 5-10 minutes to your travel time, just in case you need to snag a spot in a garage and enjoy a little stroll.

    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.
