I wanted to eat and drink with my wife last night. They were busy so they said it was 10 minutes to sit. We found two seats at the bar, so we sat there and ordered two glasses of Zinfandel. The bar that was nice told us that she knew nothing about wine and that she had no idea what kind of wine they had. We said it was about two rums and Cokes. She smiled and said I could. After 10 minutes, she looked back and said they had no rum at all. We went back to wine and told her to give us red. She has given us two glasses with about half of what you should and admitted that she doesn't even work there and she only helps a friend. Then we ordered a shrimp appetizer. 45 minutes later we asked if she could check it and she came back 5 minutes later with what looked like a bowl of soup with 6 shrimps in it. The taste was only average and so we decided to go somewhere else for a duck. We were often there when it was Galway and everything was great. The cook always came to ask everyone how their food was and the drinks were great. Not sure what's going on with the new owners, but looking around everyone seemed overwhelmed. Disappoint.

Big Sunday brunch. I wasn't sure how Brunch would be in this place. But her chickens and waffles are fantastic. The way they make the chicken with only enough spices bread, makes for an excellent compliment to the waffles. Prices are fair, and the service was great in view of the lack of personnel. I would definitely recommend this place.

Had a nice Thursday dinner with $5 draft Guinness. Fish and chips and bangers and mash were delicious. The onion soup was good, but very salty. We were pleasantly surprised to find it was trivia night. It was a funny evening!

Fried fish was great and service too. The fries were just OK, not the flavour though, there were way too many 1-2 inch cuts, almost seemed like left over fries. Please, keep the food consistent.
