text: I really love the story behind this place. It's named for a small town in Ireland. It seems slightly excessive to build a place in Ireland and ship it to the States, but I still like it. \n\nThe atmosphere is great. I loved the different areas of the restaurant - one that looks like a cottage, one that looks like a church and, of course, the matchmaker's booth. The place is also really big. There are also two bars to saddle up to. The booths are a bit funky - high benches set far from the table - but the benches move so we just scooted ours closer.\n\nOn to the food. The menu is massive and offers all the Irish fare you'd want. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip to start. Good, but nothing great. Should have tried the fried brie (doesn't that sound awesome?!). I ordered the Gaelic-style chicken breast. I don't know what made it Gaelic, but it certainly was delicious. It was a saut\u00e9ed chicken breast smothered in a wild mushroom medley and Irish whiskey cream sauce served on a bed of champ potatoes (mashed potatoes) and vegetable of the day (carrots and string beans). The mushroom sauce is adapted from an old family recipe. That was the best part, in my opinion. I could have just had the mushroom sauce and been happy. My mother-in-law raved about the sliced chicken on her Irish salad. The glazed salmon was a little bit too sweet for me (glazed with a gingered molasses whiskey sauce) but it was cooked very nicely.\n\nFor an Irish pub, I thought the beer menu was a little lacking. I had a Four Peaks Kilt Lifter, but didn't really see much else that appealed to me (I think there were about 7 choices?). The various hot/after-dinner drinks sounded delicious but I didn't have room to try any of them. \n\nThe service was friendly. We went on a Sunday afternoon - between lunch and dinner. The place was pretty empty, but our waitress was attentive. Mostly. I did think it took slightly longer than it should for a second beer to be brought out after it was ordered.\n\nIf I lived in Phoenix, I'd go back every once in awhile.
