The Lucky Dublin

Okay, so the place is just getting started and they still have some details to attend to like a sign outside.  But hey, they're adjoining a hotel so the bar will at least always have patrons.  My wife and I stopped here on our way to the theater on Saturday 3/2.  Frankly, even for pub fare we expected a lot better.  The prices are fair. I ordered the most expensive item on the menu which was Shepherd's Pie for $13.99 which included a side salad.  My wife ordered fish and chips which did not come with salad for $9.99.  Not very large portions, but at least we didn't have to ask for doggie bags.  They burned the ground beef before putting it in the dish, and there were no peas in there as the menu stated, just carrots.  My wife's fish appeared to be of the fresh batter-dipped variety, but appeared no larger than three Mrs. Paul's Fish Sticks.  Fortunately, my wife doesn't have a ravenous appetite.  The service was more than adequate and our waitress was very nice, which prevented me from sending anything back to the kitchen for a makeover.  There's a well-established restaurant in the Holiday Inn across the road from this place.  They have nothing to fear from their new competitor.
