Across from Porter T. a cute spot. Not exactly cozy, but along those lines. My drink was good. The food was horrible. All of it terrible. Fish and chips, nachos, Shepard pie, burgers etc. Nothing was good. Actually the salad that came with fish was very good and fresh. If you cant make good food, get a grilled cheese on the menu. A BLT. Things that cant be messed up. I hate leaving a bad review but it was that bad. I feel like the other reviews dont reflect. My cocktail was good, Guinness pours looked good.

Another awesome Irish pub in Cambridge. The Guinness stew was excellent. But order the brussel sprouts, they are perfect! Beer was cold, food was hot and delicious. What else do you need? Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Vegetarian offerings: Vegetarian menu or section

Hi all, following is our experience, and hopefully it will help the owners improve and do well. The plus: our server was friendly and welcoming; positive vibe, , spacious and festive decorated for Valentines day, good music a bit to loud. We went with friends looking to add a new hang out with music and good food. Here we go.. Service : we arrived at our reservation time and requested to be seated on the first floor ( over the phone we were told that on the first floor we could here music from the Toad). For some hard to understand reasoning we were moved to the second floor ) Our waiter was friendly and welcoming but lacked a few key elements on the serving profession: 1. After drinks, we had to flag him down to get our orders. 2. He brought our appetizers and dinner together, which were both hot plates ( which one do I eat?? ). I made the observation to the waiter. He proceeded to blame the kitchen; he said he placed the order in correctly, but the kitchen is BUSY, so they sent them out together. Who is in charge of managing our overall experience, the kitchen or our waiter ?? 3. Our waiter never stopped buying to checke on how we were doing, do we need anything else, do the food meet our expectation and so on.. 4. We had to flagg him down again to remove the table items and get the check. Our food: the only reason I did not rate as a 1 because the Guinness beef stew had some flavor to it. However it had only about 3 to 4 pieces of meat, most of it was potatoes and carrots. My wife ordered a nacho plate which was cold and some if the cheese was not even meltred. Needless to say : zero rating . Thankfully our guest did not complain too much about their dinner. When we returned to the first floor there was Irish music that was being performed live. Not the best, but we didn't feel any desire to stay and hangout after the unpleasant dinner experience. Price per person: $30–40 Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
