This place is a wreck. Out of this, out of that, tap system broke for days. Very unorganized. Running like an amateur restaurant. Who owns this place? Who’s managing it? Needs lots of help. Bartender now doing shots. The language is terrible. As I eat the mediocre food I think I should just leave. Not worth it.

One of the most unintentionally hilarious dining experiences ever. Came here the day before St. Patrick’s Day. Super Bowl Sunday for your average Irish pub, right? Uh, not so much. Despite there literally being only 2 other tables in the entire place, our waitress and her trainee were entirely overwhelmed. She began the night by pronouncing Smithwick’s as … well, SMITH-wick’s. The presumably experienced bartender pronounce it the same way, so maybe she didn’t know better. My Guiness-and-SMITHwick’s black & tan was room temperature. My mom ordered balsamic vinaigrette for her salad. «I’m sorry,» the waitress says. «That’s the ONE dressing we’re out of.» So she orders the strawberry vinaigrette. «Oh, we’re out of that too.» My daughter’s salmon had what appeared to be a scoop of canned DelMonte apple preserves heaped on top. When my overcooked burger came I asked for catchup and mustard. Fifteen minutes passed. Nothing. Suddenly she reappeared and did a dead stop, realizing she’d forgotten not only my catchup request, but that of the table next to me.(One of 2 other tables present, mind you.) She returned shortly thereafter with two catchup bottles … both 99.99% empty. Not to worry! She informed us that«If you come back tomorrow morning we’ll have more.» Uhh, okay. I retire to the bathroom, where they have one of those«today’s sports page» things mounted over the urinal. That’s cool, right? So I start reading all about the Illini win last night. But that’s weird, because they haven’t played in 3 days and just got shut out of the NCAA(again). Oh, wait … this sports page is from JANUARY4, 2015. That is, TWOMONTHSAGO. By the end I was praying for the night to go on and on, just for the sheer hilarity of it all. Most entertaining meal ever.

I stayed at hotel for a couple nights so it was convenient to stop in. First night I ate dinner. It was good but mother special. The menu is very limited. They didn’t have enough staff to keep up with everyone so you had to wait for a drink quite often. The rest of the week I went out to other places and then came back for a couple drinks. The bartender was great and really hustled. Would go back for drinks but not food.

My wife and I used to love this place but apparently it has changed mgmt. and menu three weeks ago. Gone are traditional Irish fare such as shepherds pie. The menu is in fact very limited. We both ordered fish an chips, with a half mound of onion rings. The onion rings were very good, full sized rings in a good batter, however no dipping sauce was served or offered to us. The fries were hot and good typical fries done well but the fish was a bit overcooked, at best it would have just been okay even if cooked properly. I am going to be very critical of the service here. The waitress was nice but not competent. Almost every visit to our table started with«I’m sorry…». I ordered a Black and Tan and neither our waitress or the bartender had a clue what I was talking about. Luckily the manager overheard and stepped in. He seemed pretty sharp and attentive but the rest of the help just didn’t know what they were doing. Like I said earlier, new mgmt., seemed like new crew. They may get better as time goes on but I won’t be going back. I’ll stay on the other side of the river and go to the Fox Pub and Café in Peoria.

Good food bad service! The menu only has about 10 items on it but they are good ones. The only bad thing is the service. They are under staffed because you can tell they dont get alot of customers. My waiter was also the bartender and cook the day I was there and this was at 5:30pm.

If you’re looking for an authentic irish pub then this is not the place for you, however, what food they do offer is quite good. They are sorta hidden by the fact that they’re located in a hotel, and that might be one of the reasons they are not very busy. The guy who served us was very friendly and the food we ordered was pretty delicious. If I was in Morton again I’d definitely stop on in.
