    This was my second day in a row going to this restaurant! My first experience on Sunday was great… attentive staff, great food and good vibe. Next day, no so attentive staff, food was metza metza and a bit of a strange lunch crowd. This restaurant is gorgeous! Maybe parking is lacking which explains the light lunch crowd on Monday… we walked down both days so no probs for us!

    We very much enjoyed our food but our server seemed quite inexperienced and there were some problems with being out of items at 11AM . I've been to the Dubliner several times and so was looking forward to trying out their new venture. We began by ordering coffee and were told there was no cream and the restaurant did not serve decaf coffee, a first for us. We ordered mimosas that seemed to be forgotten and did not come until our breakfast was served. There seemed to be poor communication between the wait team. I am hoping this was a one time bad experience with a new wait staff because we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere/

    The salad, bread, and chowder were very good. I can’t say that about the semi cooked fries, and flavorless rubbery roasted chicken. Some places are for drinking, some for having a great meal, others for both. This place is have your drinks, as witnessed by the line ready to get their drink on. There’s nothing wrong with that, just know where you are going, your expectations.
