Runway To Galloway Pub

My wife and I were recently in the mood to eat out and wanted to try something different.  We had read about the new Irish restaurant opening in Sugar Grove and decided to give it a go.  

Both of us are from Irish heritage and we've both lived and traveled abroad extensively.  So, I'd like to think we know a thing or two about good Irish food.

I had the corned beef and cabbage and a Smithwick's in anticipation of St. Patrick's Day.  My wife tried the shepherd's pie with Harp Ale.  

The corned beef and cabbage could have been my mother's!  Very tender and tasty.  The Smithwick's was excellent.  I understand they use a concentration of nitrogen vice CO2 to dispense the on tap Smithwick's which provides a creamier texture.  My wife enjoyed her shepherd's pie immensely and thought it was some of the best she's tried.  

We were both very pleased.  Pleased with the attentiveness of the staff, the portions, presentation, gentle atmosphere and that local business people were starting up during challenging economic times.  

We're returning this weekend with guests and hope to be able to enjoy Irish soda bread and perhaps even scones.
