    Aside from the Guinness (which is OUTSTANDING) and the corned beef poppers that have already been mentioned, try the seared ahi tuna. It frigging melts in your mouth! Can't WAIT to go back!

    The Whiskey Tomato soup is magical. The spice pops and really pulls it all together.

    Sit by the fireplace, it's so cozy. And get the lamb stew, it's the ultimate winter comfort food!

    At one time everything. But last night I had a disappointing Ruben sandwich. Very little meat and what there was was all chopped up.
