I'm dumbfounded how this place could have gotten so many rave reviews. It was absolutely awful and incredibly overpriced. The Irish waitresses were darling but all the rest goes downhill from there. The building (former house) was quite unkempt from the outside - weeds and tall grasses growing up and inside was well, musty. I was prepared for a funky experience, though, and expected the food to be stellar, as so many reviewers reported. But alas, the appetizer was adequate, but not worth the price. We had the duck and lobster entrees, which were exceedingly heavy and surrounded by towers of vegetables that appeared to be steamed/frozen. The complimentary whiskey cake was dry and not remarkable. Good news: huge portions - so big we had giant foil swans to take with us. Bad news: we didn't eat it at the restaurant and there was no way we would eat it at home. Almost $200 later (for two, including a carafe of house wine), I was wishing I had cooked my husband's birthday dinner myself. I so wanted to like this place, but...I didn't.
