    Food was classic irish, but no wow factor. They were clearly understaffed, we would have drank more but our server never checked on us, we had to wave him down.

    Just a great pub-really exceptional food and service. It doesn't get any better, especially on Tuesday evenings when the traditional Irish session happens. The salmon entree, braised in cider, was really delicious. The burger special was really really good-cooked perfectly. Can't wait to go back

    Our server was quite rushed. She never introduced herself but jumped right into taking our order. The restaurant itself was quite dirty. Food on the floor in the dining room and on the way out. The table next to us sat uncleared for a while. It is only the beginning of the summer! You better get it together.

    We made a reservation for 2 at 5:15. They seated us at a table crammed in the corner between the fireplace and wall. When we expressed our concern and requested a different table we were told no even though there were many open tables available. We left.

    All at my table thought our sandwiches were delicious. One person did not like the sweetness of the sweet potato fries. My public house fries were perfect. I had the carrot cake. Not good. It didn’t have much taste and was on the old side. It was hard to have a conversation because there was a large table behind us that were loud and echoing. After they left it was much better. Our server Valerie was teriffic!

    My wife and I went their around 6:45 pm on a Saturday. There were around 4 large groups so the noise was loud. After a pint of Guinness and a Blue-moon for my wife all was good. Our waitress was very friendly and checked in on us along with being an Irish. We had a great appetizer which was homemade Irish chips with baking and Irish cheese delicious but we were so full by the time our main menu came. My wife had the turkey club which was very big. She only ate half and I had the steak And fries special and the portion was very small but OK cause I was already cool overall place is definitely worth going to and the food was good

    Always enjoy St. Stephen's Green as the food is consistently good, ample portions and reasonably priced. My husband mixes things up each time we dine there however I go for the Essex & Sussex salad 90% of our visits. Although I always enjoy this salad, it was exceptional on Friday night. Kudos to the chef/garde manger that prepared it! My husband ordered the turkey club, no complaints. Unfortunately, we did not indulge in sweet potato fries this time. They are not to be missed.

    Great food, drinks, service, ambiance and prices. Dessert too was delicious. I had the Half & Half. (Corned beef/pastrimi sandwich on a roll w cheddar cheese). Third time in a row I had this. Highly recommend it!
