Very cute/cozy restaurant. Got a salad/app, main entrees, and desert. Thought the portions were good. Service was good as well. The only issue was they would open the door occasionally and it would get cold. Besides that it was a very good experience.

We sat at the bar and had a couple of drinks and food. We ordered the Dublin Prawns, a side of mac 'n cheese, Guinness Meatballs and a side of Cauliflower Gratin. The food was so, very good! Rick (bartender) was fun, attentive and helpful with the wine selection. The "Tidepool" was a tasty drink and one I would get again. Will be back to try other dishes and other drinks soon.
