text: Well my love for the Irish at this little Jamo joint just grows stronger all the time nnI recently had occasion to host a private party at RFPH for my dear friend Sam and naturally my home away from home was the best place to play hostess I had the benefit of still feeling as much at ease as I would have in my real home without having to cook or clean up after the party nnI worked closely with Anne Marie who made sure every detail of the party was attended to flawlessly We held our birthday extravaganza in the front cottage area which is the perfect spot for about guests for a sit down dinner or a happy hour done that one too The pub also has a banquet room and separate bar out back which can be rented out for private functions Another one of my friends held her wedding reception here and in addition to having the great food and service you would hope for at your wedding it was just plain fun nnBack to our Sunday birthday brunch The kitchen prepared an Irish breakfast as well as a course of passed hor doeuvres of cucumber sandwiches filet mignon brioche my favorite and salmon mousse toasts For dessert I was able to bring in special cake for the party and the kitchen added an accompaniment of fresh strawberries and creme brilliant Everything came out well timed and executed start to finish nnLucky for us Sunday afternoons now offer live jazz which was a great bonus for the party atmosphere I do not know if we should still be calling it a brunch those usually do not last for hours but we had a great time
