    1st reservation was not good experience. Sat right next to bar and kitchen entrance. Talking by bar tender and servers. Way too loud. Also I had gotten there around 11:15 and grumpy hostess/manager would not let me to wait until 11:30. So unfriendly and could care less about her paying customer! 2nd day- great service from nice young man and friendly host!

    I was disappointed that you don't have table service away from bar. The noise level there was so uncomfortable. Couldn't have a conversation with my family.

    Our first time here and it was somewhat disappointing. The service was great. The atmosphere was good. The French onion soup was very good as well as the cabbage eggrolls. Unfortunately, the corned beef sandwich (Ruben) was the worst I ever had. Nothing in it, and the bread was dried like it came out of a toaster. When they explain this to the waitress, she apologize, but that was it.. With so many great restaurants in the city of Boston, we will not be returning here ever again .

    James, we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the service. We're sorry to hear the corned beef sandwich didn't meet expectations. We'll use your comments to improve our offerings. Thank you for visiting and sharing your experience with us.

    If you want the feeling of an Irish Pub through an American lense this is that place. Also, this place seems to draw Michigan fans (as UofM was playing in March Madness) be warned Buckeye fans.

    Thank you for your review! We love being a lively spot for all sports enthusiasts. Hope to see you again soon!

    fun and lively atmosphere. good cocktail choices- the strawberry aperol spritz was crisp and refreshing! the chicken buffalo dip was a standout. Southwestern chicken salad also crisp and chicken was well seasoned. Fun place to go before hitting the theatre!

    Great place for casual tavern style food, but kicked up a notch. You can’t decide what you want to eat then come here there’s plenty of choices.

    This was our second visit, so obviously we like it. I want to offer a shout-out to our server (Regan?). She detected our unspoken discomfort with the noise level which was louder than previous visits and perhaps louder than expected for the pub staff so early on a Monday evening. She offered to open up a quieter area for us and it was perfect. All other aspects of service were at the high level we expected but she went out of her way to make us comfortable.

    Thank you for your fantastic review, David! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit. We appreciate your feedback about the noise level. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
