Our Review
Under executive chef Jeannie Carlson, the menu at this huge bar and restaurant in a rehabbed Lincoln Avenue funeral home is a mix of British Isles standards and creative contemporary Irish bistro fare. My friend's Guinness-and-onion soup arrived in a sizzling hot crock with a bubbling white-cheddar crust; though a bit undersalted it was still savory and satisfying. Her shepherd's pie, served in a similarly blister-inducing piece of crockery, was a hearty mix of lamb, carrots, and pearl onions underneath a crown of piped-on mashed potato rosettes. I opted for a plate of grilled sea scallops served with carrots and fingerling potatoes that I washed down with a second glass of a refreshing sauvignon blanc. The staff do their darnedest to make you feel at home--our waiter kept promising to buy us shots.
