My wife and I visited Tir Na Nog a couple of weeks ago for a busy Friday night dinner. My waitress was wonderful and very welcoming. The food took FOREVER to come out and when it finally arrived our order wasn't quite right. I ordered a side salad with my beef wellington that never came out. My waitress did not bring out my food and I feel like she would have remembered the salad because she noticed I was without it as soon as she approached the table. The beef wellington was rather tough and served with a biscuit that looked like a top hat on my beef....rather odd looking. The meat tasted like a cheap grade and was rather tough. My wife ordered the chicken potpie which literally tasted like the meat had gone bad. She would never send food back even if the order was wrong, but there was no way she was eating this. We ended up sharing mine. There was also some dried up food stuck to the side of my plate which was obviously not from anything I was eating. I was amazed that I received food on a dirty plate! Later, the Irish woman who introduced herself as the general manager came to speak with us and couldn't even answer simple questions about the beer selection. She did not know if her restaurant had Killians of tap or not. (They do if anyone is interested). She referred me to the bar manager who was currently behind the bar. I ended up speaking with her for quite some time about the beer selection and she was quite knowledgeable. I was very impressed with both my waitress and bartenders microbrew suggestions based on what I liked to drink. I loved the Copper Ale and my wife really enjoyed the White Rascal. My overall impression left me not wanting to revisit this place again unless it was strictly for drinks.
Pros: Great service at my table and at the bar.
Cons: Bad food and lack of knowledge from the woman running the restaurant.
