Finally got a chance to visit, and I'm only sorry that we waited so long! We were told we'd have a 30 minute wait (on a busy Saturday night), but ended up being seated in about 10! The Kinsale beer and Riesling wine were both fantastic (and pretty cheap!). The appetizer cheese plate was outstanding - highly recommend! We also ordered the pork chop and rainbow trout... The food was just incredible and we cannot wait to go back! Next time we'll get dessert.. they sounded amazing. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood.

We went here for the first time this weekend, and it won't be the last. Without a reservation, we had a table in 5 minutes on what appeared to be a busy Saturday night. The atmosphere was warm, lively, but private enough to feel like a classy place. The prawns appetizer and leek soup were out of this world, and I couldnt even finish my entree the portions were so large. We split the bacon wrapped shrimp and the rainbow trout. Couldn't be happier. A nice alternative in fine dining.

A great addition to the neighborhood. It is obvious that the owners/mgmt/staff are quite serious about this place as they have put a lot of money, time and apparent experience into making this a very nice place. Not excellent, and I am not sure that I would go way out of my way to go back, but I think that anyone would be quite pleased with their meal and dining experience.

Great food and space...but what is with all the KIDS!!!!! I thought I was at Chucky Cheese's for a minute. Could you possibly divert priviledged yuppy clans to one side of the room or something? As charming as banging a sippy cup repeatedly thruout dinner....i can pass on percussion entertainment.

I frequent Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro quite often; the food is delicious, unique and nicely presented. My favorite server there is Eddie. He is always very attentive, polite, pleasant and has a great sense of humor. If you get a chance you must visit this place, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to ask for Eddie as your server, he's one of the best!
