Diner Comments: Everyone expressed "kudos for fitting our [13-person, reservationless] group" last minute, but diners were conflicted over the "average" to "better than expected" food; the "slow", "poorly timed" service; the "bland" decor; and "blasts of cold" from the door "in need of a heavy curtain." While it's a "nice neighborhood cafe"our group clearly "overwhelmed them, and though they "tried hard," but might be better for a "meeting a couple friends to hang out" |

Diner Comments: All agreed that the staff of this FF Favorite provided “professional, engaging and efficient service” that was “pretty spectacular considering [the] large group(13)” . The comped pork belly appetizer was “seriously on point.” There were raves about the “delicious”, “tasty” and “yummy” food but the special of day “sounded much better than it actually was.” Décor was “charmingly appropriate” yet of the “standard non-descript Irish” variety and they might want to relocate the coat hooks . Grafton Street “made sure we felt welcome as a large group” and “will definitely be revisited.” $$$ [41] |
