Imagine finding a cozy Irish cottage on a busy big city street. There's even a thatched roof over the stucco walls, and a convivial bar that lends itself to hoisting a Guinness. Go the traditional route and try the potato shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash or a proper Irish breakfast---complete with black and white pudding---served anytime. Lighter fare includes grilled salmon with a whiskey glaze, along with the usual pub munchies. As sweets go, the chocolate mousse with white chocolate and raspberry glaze satisfies. There's no telling how the quesadillas and nachos got in here, but it’s likely that the bards pictured on the menu (Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Sean O'Casey and G.B. Shaw) could spin a tale about it.
