This place was amazing, the food was authentic to Ireland and so tasty! The server Reilly was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us suggestions on drinks! He recommended the root beer on tap and I have to say it’s the best root beer I have ever had! The food was delicious and came out pretty quick! They had live music and the bar was well stocked from what I could see, sorry not a drinker. The restaurant was clean and not super loud so you could actually talk to each other over the table! We will definitely come back here when we come to visit again! Do yourself a favor and try this place!!

The food was fast and so delicious! Jason was our server and although he wasn’t chatty he was on top of filling our water glasses and being kind.
My husband and I shared the Scottish eggs as well as the bangers and mash which were great! So flavorful and delicious! I did get a grapefruit drink which I didn’t care for, but the presentation was nice.
Even though it was off season I still made a reservation at 5pm on a Saturday but we didn’t really need one as the place wasn’t packed.

The pub was fantastic!
We were front and center for the Irish dancers. The group is local and they were excellent. The ladies danced for about 30 minutes and were an excellent addition to the atmosphere. It was so clear that, even if a mistake was made, they were still having fun and so were we!
We finished after they were done, an amazing dinner. The corned beef was perfect. The whole meal was so satisfying. The beverages were nice and spicy. All drinks were tasty, whether neat or on the rocks or a mixed concoction. The surprise was the one with egg in it, a kind of egg nog. LOVED IT!
The musicians came in the later and added to the authentic feel at the Irish Cottage. Their hometowns (accents, stories, senses of humor and storytelling skills) provided us with the feel like we had gone across the pond and were sitting in our home Counties, celebrating with kin. We committed to being in the Irish Cottage moment and had the BEST TIME!
Highly recommend!
We also stayed on site. We had a king, jacuzzi room. It was fantastic, also. The jacuzzi is in the main room and was a great place to watch Boondock Saints from ☘️

We stopped here for dinner on a Sunday evening. Having been to Ireland we loved the atmosphere, it really looks like a pub you would find anywhere in Ireland. The food was pretty good, we had the poutine which had a very unique and delicious gravy on it and a couple of burgers which were seasoned very nicely. The Irish Chips (fries) were our favorite part, they were so good. As far as service… I don’t know if our server was having a bad day or what because from the start he wasn’t pleasant at all. I thought he had just misjudged the distance when he slammed our waters down on the table but then he did it again with our drinks. The rest of the dinner went about the same. We definitely were not his favorite table, fortunately for the other tables he did seem nicer to them.

Food was a good traditional Irish fare. Tried the brussel sprouts, vegetarian squash & modern corned beef. They had live music playing this evening and the restaurant filled to about 3/4 capacity as I was finishing up. Would visit again when in town. Stayed the evening at the connected hotel. They offer a stay and dine with us special. You need to request it when making reservations.

Irish pub feel with decor to match. Menu and drinks are consistent with the Irish vibe. Entrees are expensive, not the food quality is superb. We shared a shepherd pie with 2 Irish soda biscuits. And added a wonderful O’Dowd’s pub salad consisting of artisan greens, carrots, tomato, red onion, fried cheese curds, lightly pickled eggs, mixed in with curry vinaigrette.

The food was very good and very fresh. I had fish and chips and they were excellent, but $25 seemed overpriced. My fiancé had the bangers and mash, and liked it a lot.
Our waitress was very inattentive after we got our food. I immediately noticed there was no kale slaw with my order. She didn’t come check on us, and I couldn’t get her attention, even though there were only 3 other occupied tables in the whole restaurant. When I did catch her, she barely apologized for not telling me they were out of slaw, and charged me full price anyway.
Finally, after being delayed until after their 8pm closing time, we requested a piece of chocolate cake to go since it was my fiance’s birthday. She said the kitchen was closed. No attempt to fulfill our request. It’s cake, not something they had to make to order. Unless that was out too, why wasn’t it possible to get a piece to go? Very disappointed.
