Mary Kelly's Restaurant & Bar

I have been here a couple of times for dinner and drinks. I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. The amount of work and detail that went into this building is impressive! Everything was hand made by the owner himself, from the glass etchings at the booths to the hand chiseled rock that outlines the windows on the outside of the building. This is not your typical building that has been built with manufactured material. It is truly a work of art. The menu is also impressive. Every dish that i have had has been exceptionally good! There are selections from burgers and sandwiches  to classic Irish dishes and premium steaks. The sweet potato fries are out of this world. They have a wide selection of mixed drinks, wine and beer. The owner had said that he never did any advertising for this restaurant and gained a solid customer base simply by word of mouth. If that is not impressive in this economy, I don't know what is.

My wife and I went there a few weeks after they opened. The place is absolutely beautiful. The menu looked interesting and we were planning on having dinner there but while sitting at the bar we had to endure the filthy mouths of a few individuals. We are not prudes, but it was disappointing that an establishment that appeared to be so classy turned a deaf ear to this type of behavior. What made it worse was the bartender stood talking to them and ignored their vulgar mouths. So, we left and I doubt we will return. It isn't my place to suggest to the owners how to run there restaurant, but I think they might want to consider whether their intention is to appeal to customers that want to have a few drinks, enjoy dinner and expect civility, or earn the reputation of being just another dive bar that welcomes the drunken foul mouth crowd.

Yay! I'm so happy that I get to update my review to 5 stars!
We have been back here a couple of times and have enjoyed great service and excellent food.
