The Kerryman Restaurant Review

: Trevor and Micheal O'Donoghue, siblings who called the Emerald Isle home, managed to fashion a classy, stylish pub that stands out from the myriad of like-minded Irish joints in Chicago. Diners wind through the multi-level space, which is adorned with compass-inspired details, artsy flower arrangements and leather booths, to procure better-than-average ale-battered onion rings and nicely poured black and tans. Irish cheddar and bacon quesadillas are addictive, but the kettle-fried fish is limp and lacking in flavor. A better bet is the homey chicken and mushroom potpie, meatloaf, shepherd's pie or traditional Irish breakfast, a virtual smorgasbord with bacon, sausages, potatoes, eggs, beans and a slab of butter. On weekends, wake up to a corned beef hash Reuben or chocolate-battered french toast with orange, vanilla cream and syrup.
