Dinner celebrating life of my mother and everything was great everyone had different meals and all raved how good everything was. Always loved this place and they didn’t disappoint this time.

My wife likes prime rib, and this is her go-to place when we can get away. Having a dog usually with us makes it difficult. Today we were free of the dog, so prime rib for her it was. She was not disappointed. Well done burger was more my preference.
If you like Irish music, this is your place. I was surprised to hear a couple of country and Western songs slipped in among the usual today. Food was good. Service was okay, not as great as we’ve experienced previously, but fine nonetheless. The coffee was not piping hot but tasted okay. I expected better like previous times.
Again, not the norm, and not something management can control. The aisles are about normal, but there was an infant highchair that was partially blocking our way today.
There were a couple of patrons coughing, not a lot. Uncomfortable for me, a germaphobe. Unfortunately for me, this is something I have to expect in public gatherings.
Sorry, I didn’t think to take photos today, but I’ll post one my wife took.

The rolls and food were all delicious and the restaurant has ample amount of parking and booth seating.

This charming and fun pub, restaurant, was a lot of fun to spend some time in. We were there past closing time at 9pm, on a Saturday, but they didn’t rush us. The food was pretty good, and the staff was very kind. The decor is fun and very eye-catching, so there is a lot going on and to see. The food was prepared quite quickly and all that we ordered came out at almost the same time as we ordered almost all of the appetizers. It’s a very large restaurant, which could hold a lot of people, but the atmosphere was cozy and nice.

Nice atmosphere with plenty of seating. Enjoyed a Guinness. Had the fish and chips and pecan crusted chicken. Stopped after a visit to Tower Hill. Impressive indoor decor.

Had my son’s rehersal dinner there. They did an amazing job! Meghan worked with me on all my special requests. Awsome manager!!! We had 39 in our party, and Megan and Veronica were fantastic. I highly recommend having a private party here.

It’s sad when an establishment that was great is sold and is no longer the same. It looks and feels the same, but the food and service is not even close.
The new menu is quite limiting compared to what was offered previously, so it was disappointing and took us a while to find something to order. We checked the menus associated in the reviews, but it must have been the old menus.
But the problems started with the drink order, then food order and then paying for the meal.
Not getting the drink order correctly, then the server forgetting to order the extra take out order and not informing us until after the kitchen closed. Then after providing two credit cards to split the bill, they put the entire charge on one credit card. Later cancelling the charge and redoing the charges.
The food wasn’t great. The haddock was dry and the vegetables tasted like they were rinsed in soap water. In retrospect it was good that they forgot to make the take out order.
It was sad to realize it’s not the same as we knew. Hopefully they will figure it out and return to the quality level of good and service it was previously know for.

Not only were the waitresses arguing about whose table we were – in front of us. Really set the mood.
But the RACISM several members of our party experienced were inexcusable. While all white members were acknowledged and immediately brought to our large party, two of our friends who arrived individually were completely ignored.
One waited for 10 minutes, while the other waited and finally left. The people before them in line were acknowledged, behind them, and they were continually ignored. The only difference – is my two friends weren’t white.
As a long time frequenter of this establishment, I was beyond embarrassed, horrified, angry and disgusted. I will be letting people on other social media sites know this is you treat all people.

Walking through the restaurant, the atmosphere was warm and cozy. We were in a party room that had seating for 14 guests. We had 8. Dave, our waiter, started me off with the Frosty Day IPA. If you like a light citrus taste, I recommend that. We had fried calamari, which was delicious. My plate, I had the OC steak tips with Montreal seasoning. It was tasty. The cooked veggies were really good. Hubby has the shepherds pie. It was a nice portion. He said that the stew was good. My brother in law had the lamb shank. I took a bite. The lamb was spot on, but the gravy was a little thick. Everyone else enjoyed their meal. I am looking forward to going back. Oh, I almost forgot about the pretzel…. It was so delicious, soft, and comforting.

We visited O’Connor’s Restaurant & Bar for Restaurant Week and got to try a variety of dishes at a great price—just $29.95 for a generous amount of food. It’s definitely a good deal for the portions you receive.
Food
• Barbecue Wings – One of the highlights! The wings were incredibly tender, falling right off the bone, and the barbecue sauce was flavorful.
• Hummus – A bit of a letdown. It was bland and reminded me of store-bought hummus, missing that fresh, rich taste.
• Seafood Pie – Surprisingly delicious! It had the comforting flavors of shepherd’s pie combined with a creamy, clam chowder-like texture. Definitely a standout.
• Stuffed Chicken Schnitzel – This dish had too much going on for my liking. With mashed potatoes, vegetable spread, and stuffing layered on top, it seemed to overwhelm the chicken itself, which also didn’t feel fully cooked through.
• Desserts
• Blueberry Brownie Sundae – A pleasant surprise! The blueberry added a unique twist to the typical vanilla sundae, making it sweet and enjoyable.
• Tiramisu – A disappointment. It tasted more like a vanilla angel cake with a slight coffee flavor and chocolate drizzle. It lacked the creamy mascarpone texture and rich espresso-soaked layers of a true tiramisu.
Ambiance & Service
The restaurant itself is spacious, with a cozy Irish pub atmosphere. Each seating area has its own “street name” theme, adding a fun touch to the décor. Irish music plays softly in the background, enhancing the experience. The service was fine—our server made sure we had everything we needed, and the process was quick and easy.
Overall Impression
For the price, Restaurant Week at O’Connor’s is a great deal. While some dishes stood out (like the seafood pie and barbecue wings), others missed the mark (hummus and tiramisu). The ambiance is inviting, and the service is efficient.
