★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1One of the best Shepherds Pie I have ever had. The ingredients are fresh, seasoned to perfection, not too salty. As they say....spot on!
June 21 · Steven BenjaminWe live in Manhattan, so we've been to a lot of good restaurants, but while visiting my sister's house, we had a satisfying dinner at this Irish restaurant in Rockville Center, Long Island, with fresh ingredients and a menu faithful to the original, with ample portions and prices. I really liked it because it didn't seem like frozen vegetables. My mom, my sister, and my cute little daughters, ages 3 and 7, had a great meal. I'm sorry the kids were making a fuss. Please look cute with plenty of tips :)The service was a little slow , there were no kids chairs for my 3 and 7 year olds, and the potatoes (my favorite) were so burnt that I am taking off one star. I hope I can give you five stars next time ~ :)
March 27 · Marie RyuThank you to the entire staff at MacArthur Park! We held my husband’s military retirement dinner here. The food was sooo delicious, the staff was amazing and all at a reasonable cost. You all really made it so easy on us. I know some of our guests loved the food so much they’re making plans to come back for dinner.
August 03 · DeeJaxGreat restaurant right near Village Hall and train. A friend had a burger and fries and I had Reuben with onion rings. Excellent food, service and a great booth.The owner is a very friendly and nice person. I enjoyed my lunch. Thank you.
May 01 · Ed StarowiczVery nice Irish pub feel. Decent selection in the Menu. Good beer selection. Had the lobster bisque that's was very tasty and good on a rainy day. Enjoyed the Sheppard's pie for my entree that was cooked well and and seasoned perfect. Overall a very good meal.
September 23 · Rich HI just had my OWN weird experience on my lunch break , even tho ive heard otjer stories. Soooo I won't use the race card BUT I just witness everyone in the bar get asked if they wanted more drinks , napkins , sauce , etc by the bartender but HE constantly walked pass me and would even make eye contact and wouldn't even ask if everything was ok , like every bartender does...🤷🏿♂️ The older woman that works there is VERY polite, but he sucks at MAKING everyone fill welcomed
