Mike O'Shay's Restaurant & Ale House

This was the second time to Mike O'Shays. Service was very nice. The food was not very good at all and quite bland. I felt like I paid way too much for such an average meal. I was disappointed.

The food has good flavor, however, the portions are small and the prices are big. If they would lower there prices OR increase the portions I would go back. Until then, sorry.

Ps. Don't order the calamari, it is obviously frozen.

The atmosphere is amazing, but the food is lacking. The bar really makes the place sing because it offers such variety and creates a nice "old school pub" feel inside. Our server was polite and attentive, and I love a place that offers booth seating.

The food isn't inedible, but I was disappointed when the caesar salad was served with mostly core pieces (the white structure at the center of a lettuce head). Sure, a caesar is traditionally crunchy, but it was also missing a whole lot of romaine greens.

We decided to send it back but I'm always suspect of this practice (complaining on the spot so that an order can be corrected) because I never know if the kitchen staff will be annoyed enough about the complaint to add their own flourish to the dish (if you get my meaning).

It seems like with a little prep cook training or a change in head chef might do this local business some good.
