Problem: I have been going to this restaurant for years. I love the food. I've tried most of their dishes that are meat free and I enjoyed all of it. My only issue is the wait staff. Like I said I have been dining there for years and the wait staff has always been just one step up from rude. They are not friendly, they barely check on me or my friends and family. That is the only reason they didn't give 5 stars, because I do love the food and for the most part, the feel of it. Their wait staff just needs to learn better customer service and manners... They seriously act like they don't care if I enjoy my visit our not. That being said If you get the food to go, then there's no real issue, except getting their attention for the order, maybe. It really puts me of of a place when the wait staff is talking and lounging around when my family and I need service. I never get asked to get a drink refilled and I've had to wait a very long time when I've asked for condiments or something that I prefer to use to eat my food with, like a lemon wedge. When I finally get it, I've already had to start eating; or it would get cold.

Problem: The atmosphere here is great, from the decor, to the music to the service, there is a very great feel. The food is decent, however, it is not traditional Irish food, it is more Irish food with an American twist. The bangers were not quite right(not sure if they were actually real bangers), which kind of threw off the taste of the sausage rolls. Still the food was good. One thing I that kind of shocked me was the 'live entertainment tax' which kind of sucked since it was almost $5. I have never payed that here in CA, so I wasn't expecting it. The 'Irish band' was also a tad disappointing, they played many American songs, and not a lot of folk songs like I was expecting. They all were great musicians though and had great voices. Overall not a bad pub, reminded me a lot of the pubs of Southern Ireland.

Problem: 'Amazing food and service. Their dumplings, sushi were yum. Cocktails are super good but expensive. The highlight was the dessert. The fortune cookie with dark and white chocolate mousse was the best . Next time, would probably start with the dessert course :) Also, before entering , just pay attention to the happy hour offers.These are typically posted outside the place, at the forum shops. You will have to text to a particular number to get coupons:- buy one get one cocktail free...

Problem: Came here for the lunch buffet. now granted, I know that the quality is most likely a lot different than the dinner plates (i hope). If I wasn't so hungry, I would have walked out after the first plate. Everything tasted mushy and all the same. Little to no flavor and nothing was labelled, so you had no idea what you were eating, even though all the rolls tasted about the same. There were some tempura items, but again, with the batter, you had no idea what is was since there were no labels. Only labels said: "Out at 11am, Take away by 3pm". Eww, let's hope it hasn't been sitting out since 11! Some tasted old, some tasted fresher. Nothing tasted especially good at all. I will never waste another dollar on the buffet here, but might give them a chance on dinner ala carte sushi. I hear good things about the sushi here, but I just did not get anything good. I wouldn't rate anything I got over a 4-5, on a scale of 1-10. Wish I had just skipped this place. $11 for that buffet food was a rip-off. As far as the service, I had a server ask me if I wanted something to drink when I got there, then I had to chase someone down to get a check. I had to ask 2 other servers, and still nobody came. Finally, I got lucky and saw mine walk by. Blows my mind how this place can be so popular and busy. Let's hope dinner is better. I am definitely not a food snob, and I can appreciate good food in a crappy hole in the wall spot, as long as the food tastes good. Im not even scared of sanitation scores. But the buffet food here was virtually inedible.
