    We arrived slightly before our reservation time and were seated immediately. My husband got the Shepherd's Pie and I got the Beef Stew. Both were delicious!! We didn't feel rushed for dinner and enjoyed the restaurant.

    I found this place on a trip to New York this time. Was top rated & close to Time Square. A typical Irish pub. Met my expectations and the service was lovely. I absolutely loved the fish & chips… especially the chips! 😋 Already recommended the place to a couple of friends who visited New York !

    We were somewhat disappointed in the service but the food was very good. There was an issue with our table and there were no other tables inside so we were re-seated outside. But following the problem we were a little surprised that more of an effort to be attentive, at least, was not made. The dinner was very good and the menu has a good selection of offerings.

    Great location as we were headed to the Belasco Theatre, and it was just steps away. Friends ordered salads and were very impressed and said they were excellent. I ordered the grilled shrimp wrap, and while the flavors were yummy, it was kind of a mess to eat because there was almost too much filler. Fries were delicious, and beer selection was good. Overall, I would highly recommend!!

    If you are going to a play, you cannot beat a good, hearty meal at O'Donoghue's. We have been going there for years before the theater and they never disappoint.

    My daughter was taking me to a play for my birthday and we had just met Fergal Burke, the owner of O’Donoghues and wanted to give it a try. I loved the look of the bar, the dark wood and it was not too big and loud. The food was delicious. I had the Shepherd’s Pie and my daughter has the Chicken Pot Pie and we ate every bite. We will definitely go back.

    Fun Irish pub atmosphere, and the food was good. But we were seated at a cramped table right in front of the bathroom door even though we had a reservation. We felt very rushed. Clearly they wanted to turn over the tables as fast as possible.

    Nice overall, we ordered the sizzling steak and it came with very few vegetables as it described on the menu. The steak was cooked to order. It would have been nice to get a free dessert since this was where I chose for by birthday dinner but nothing was offered.

    Found this restaurant searching for an Irish Pub near the theatre. Definitely a place to which we would return. Great service. Food was good and options included the pub food we expected. Shepherd’s pie very tasty. Only comment on negative side is the noise level a touch louder than hoped, but we are older! Overall a place we highly recommend.

    Had a great experience here before a show. Made a 6:30 reservation that day. Restaurant and bar was completely full and a few walk-ins were waiting. The hostess and waitress were amazing. I showed up early and was seated immediately at 6:30. Everyone was so friendly. Ordered the burger, and in all honesty, it was cooked a little more than I had asked but that didn’t matter. It was absolutely delicious so I didn’t complain. Meals came out quick. Server and staff were attentive and the prices were great, especially in this area. Will definitely make this my go-to from now on when in the area. Thank you all!

    In all the times we have visited NYC we somehow always overlooked this little gem. We had an early show and then were meeting friends for dinner after the show so we were looking for something for a light lunch. We ordered the sampler platter of appetizers, an order of zucchini sticks and a couple of glasses of wine. one of the potato skins was way over done but everything else was outstanding. We will not overlook this place ever again.

    Booked a table in October for Christmas day. Arrived at 3.45 to be told to come back at 4 . Very crowded and poor girl dealing with the bookings could not cope. Arrived at 4 no table . Stood waiting for a further 20 mins . People walking in relieved tables. We finally walked out. Bad experience for us not good when you book and other people were shown tables.
