We were here with a group. Ambiance is not bad. Service as others have mentioned could be better. The waitress never came back to see how the food was or ask if we wanted more drinks. The table shared an order of bruschetta and steak bits with button mushrooms. The appetizers were very good. The bruschetta was very tasty and the serving was a decent size. The steak bits and button mushrooms were also very good. It came with a spicy chipoltie sauce. For an entree I had the Chicken pot pie. It was very difficult to find a piece of chicken in the pie. It was more pie pastry than anything else. Others had the beef stroganoff, prime rib sandwich and coconut shrimp. I heard no comments on the food from anyone so I'm guessing that everyone was just being polite. The waitress never asked if we wanted dessert. Prices are not too expensive but then the quality of the food is pretty poor. It was a very disappointing evening. Our friend fortunately was treating everyone to dinner fortunately because I certainly will not return.
Absolutely great service! Awesome food, perfectly made drinks and top notch service by the most GORGEOUS, friendly, outgoing waitresses I have ever seen! The ambiance is fantastic, solid tables and chairs, blinds drawn on a very bright sunny day helped the other patrons enjoy their experience at this very nice pub. The place was packed and that was at lunch time! The bathroom was neat and very clean. I will definately be back many times to this pub and my friends have agreed to make this our meeting place from now on. Highly recommended! 5 ***** job well done!
The service here and the kitchen is highly disorganized. They seem to have a manager that at least tries to smooth problems over by offering something complimentary but that should be a last resort. These problems just should not be happening. I'm not quite sure what the problem is? Nepotism? Lack of staff training? Perhaps. Regardless this place attracts patrons, it's consistently busy. I went at lunch and almost all tables were full. It seems to be an oddly Vancouver thing that restaurants seem to assume you have an 1.5hr to 2 hours to enjoy leisurely lunches. Regardeless our server didn't inquire if we were in a rush, and somehow our orders weren't entered into the cue til later. This was a long lunch. However as I was catching up with friends it wasn't that bad. The ambiance is simply beautiful yet comfortable, lots of gleaming wood (oak?), the fabrics chosen for chair seats worked nicely, stone accents, high ceilings. Everything was sparkling clean and it looked brand new even though it's been open for a while. By the time we got our food we were frankly starving so everything did taste good. It wasn't excellent but it was good. Not sure why the other reviewers dinged them on their food so much. The portions were filling. The neighbouring table beside us just had appetizers and those portions were big. I had the mushroom soup with a homemade veggie burger and it was decent. The soup was full of mushrooms. The relish on the veggie burger didn't really work but it wasn't offensive. Next time I would add cheddar. The veggie burger itself was quite large and it actually looked like a meat patty but didn't seem to have soy in it which I liked, it had a earthy savoury note from the mushrooms. For the ambiance the price was fairly decent at lunch, it hovers at around $10-$15. A must try is their homemade ice creams & sorbets. 5 scoops of flavours of your choice come in a waffle bowl, I was sad to see they didn't have Irish cream flavoured ice cream though. I didn't like the lavender creme brulee, as the lavender flavour was far too strong, I would have preferred cardamon creme brulee. Would I return? Definately I loved the ambiance, it was like you were in Ireland but I would just expect to be waiting for food, and the service to be uneven. It was odd when after we finished our meal we had to wait for ages for our server to return to ask us if we wanted dessert, basically whenever we needed our server she had disappeared. Also note that it gets extremely noisy in there. as the high ceilings amplify sound but that just adds to the fun.
My wife and I were part of a group that attended a meeting at the Pub.
After not being asked to place a food order after being seated for 20 minutes, we asked if anybody else had ordered (we had shown up a bit late). The waitress said "No" and left. We talked to the people at the table who had already been there for some time and they all said they were hungry and wanting to order.
After not even seeing the waitress for a long period of time, we took a piece of paper and a pen and sent it around the tables for people to write down what they wanted to order. The list was long completed before the waitress finally came to take our orders, and then didn't want the piece of paper. Waiting for drinks was often as long as waiting for the order to be taken, as at one point there were 4 empty glasses on the table for a 20 minute period.
While I am typically happy to tip 20% for great service, I fully intended to tip our waitress 0. She was terrible. I then got my bill to find a 15% gratuity was added to it. Mystery of the terrible service solved. She fully ignored us during the dinner rush to focus on tables where a tip was not guaranteed. Needless to say I am not impressed and will not be returning.
Food was so-so and over-priced for the quality. Ambience is nice but it's a terrible place to go if you want to talk as my throat hurt by the end of the night from all the yelling.
Went here for a get together with some friends. The pub itself is great. Lots of character and has a real old feel to it. Was very impressed with the decor. Granted that it was a busy Tuesday night....but the service can be a hit and miss. Drinks were not refilled regularly and had to flagged down the waitress to get another drink. The kitchen was prompt for my yam fries. They came out hot and fresh but unfortunately the yam fries were a bit tasteless. Overall I would consider coming back and giving it another shot. Maybe I went there on an off day.
Went to Dublin's recently with some friends because its close by, nice ambiance, etc.
Drinks are a little on the pricey side- would be nice if they would have specials and food is good-but nothing to write home about.
The service was not very friendly- a little snobby, pushy, geez would it hurt you to smile?
The most disappointing thing was that when I checked my credit card statement today I realized she had added a couple bucks onto it for her tip. I put a big 0 with a cross with it (left the tip in cash-even though the service was bad- as a fellow server I felt like I should still leave a decent tip) and she added a couple bucks on..Too bad I didn't keep my part of the receipt, and since its only a couple bucks am not going to make a big deal out of it but I was certainly shocked when I looked today. Guess she needed the extra $2 more than I did! My other experiences here have been pretty good but I doubt I will be going back anytime soon and if I do it will be with CAUTION!
This is the only pub/bar I will go to when I visit friends in Surrey.
I've only eaten here on 2 occassions. The first time I had rack of lamb. Despite being small in size, it was prepared well. It appears to have disappeared off the menu since November 2007. More recently in June I had the St. Patricks chicken sandwich with brie. It was very, very good - as was the green salad with almond slices and dried cranberries. This particular sandwich is much much better than the equivalent at Earls, Joeys or Cactus Club and is only $10.
The best part of this bar however is the ambience. You completely forget once you're inside that you're in Surrey/Langley (aside from a few of the clientelle). As mentioned below the interior has been done very nicely in carved wood and the bar is quite impressive. They also have great Irish bands in on weekend nights. It's sort of like going to the Blarney Stone without the annoying UBC kids puking all over the place and a much much nicer venue. They've got all the beers on tap you would expect for an Irish pub - Guinness, Kilkenny, Strongbow, etc.
To sum: The food is reasonable but the real draw is the drinks and weekend ambience.
We decided to stop in here for a late lunch. Very nice decor. It took the server a few minutes to notice us, after we sat down. After looking at the menu, I decided on the burger with Stilton cheese, (came with fries) which was very tasty. My friend had the corned beef sandwich, (with salad) also very good. Overall, I'd go back there again, and maybe I would try to leave room for dessert.
I have been at this Pub many times and each time it is outstanding. Ever table is a hind away...great full menu and drink selection second to none. You can also book the top floor for private parties as we did.
One bad thing about this place (Ifeel all reviews should include something) is the live music in the evenings can be a little to loud.
I will continue to go here for luch and dinners...keep up the good work.
I understand that this is a "pub", but there is nobody at the door to greet you, and you are forced to wander through the entire retaurant looking for a place to sit, only to find that either every table is full, or is covered with the remains of the previous guests food.
We made it all the way to the depths of the pub and back before we were offerred a seat at the bar. We were hungry so we decided to stay at the bar. The menu is very interesting, but we soon found out it was very much overpriced for what we received. For the price we paid, the portion sizes were small and the food very average.
It's a neat environment to eat in, but hte service and value were seriously lacking (two things you'd expect to find at a pub).
As we were leaving a young family was coming in and they were told that children are not allowed in the pub. That's fine, I write that only to forewarn any young parents from attempting to take your children there.
Been here several times and the food and ambiance was great. Service is normal for a pub. I will warn, this is not a place to watch the game as there is almost no TV's. Tey have some great burgers and good cheap breakfast on the weekends!! Any place that has Guiness on tap has my approval!
I have been to the Dublin crossing many times as i live within walking distance. I have found everything on the menu to be over priced especially the food. I paid almost $10 for some wings that tasted like they had been cooked that morning and it was 9pm.
As for the service, even when its quiet, no one comes round to take your order and when you decide they don't deserve a tip and you are using a credit card, they think its okay to write their own tip down when you hand back the signed copy. I will admit i was stupid to not write 0 in the amount but they shouldn't be doing that.
I will probably return for drinks but i will always be writing 0 down or paying in cash.
It's nice to have a different place for pub night. Irish food (stews, sandwiches, ...) that you don't find in other places. Music on weekends. Excellent Irish look and feel. A little more pricey than average pub. I go there when I want something a bit more than the same old. Can get busy and seating has been a problem.
We have been to this pub many times.
The food is outstanding, delicious and well presented.
Service is very good.
We don't go late at night we usually go during the day and early evening.
They do have good bands but they are loud if you sit near the front.
There is tons of room but I understand that in the evening, tables may be in short supply as it is a very popular place.
One of the many things I like about it is that it is NOT a sports bar!
My husband and I frequent this great pub quite a bit, as it is close to our house. We love the Irish live music they have, and the decor is very authentic. This is a fabulous spot to meet friends for a drink. However, we find that the food overall is very under par. We have never left there saying, wow, that was a great meal. Service is hit and miss, depending how busy they are, but it is always friendly.
We have tried numerous menu items, and would recommend the Pub Pie, or one of their sandwiches. The burgers leave a lot to be desired, and the appies are boring, nothing spectacular. If you want a great place to meet friends, have fun, and listen to live music, this is the place for you. If you want a great meal, eat before you get there. Tables are sparse on Fridays and Saturdays, so get there early or prepare to stand.
Well, our fourth visit to this upscale pub and while delighted to have them added to our neighbourhood, improvements are needed! The menu reads beautifully but only once has the quality lived up to the description. Service is terrible. We met friends there tonight and early to avoid crowds and overly busy kitchen and we got a server that smiled once and disappeared. We had to go get her to place a drink order, again to get a food order and again to get our bill. The meals were all o.k. but not impressive. Hot food should be served hot and servers should not have more tables than they can possibly work. Beautiful decor but probably best to stop for a pint of Smithwicks and some sort of appetizer that is meant to be eaten lukewarm.
After reading some of the good reviews previously written, my husband and I decide to try it out. The service was very disappointing being that the server took the initial drink order and then never came back. We finally got the server's attention after 15 minutes by walking right up to the server and informing the server that we were ready to order. Unfortunately when the food did arrive it wasn't even the food described in the menu. The lamb burger was small and dry with no chutney and the beef dip sandwich had no horseradish or garlic. It had spinach instead which the menu did not mention. The ambience of the pub was very nice but the food and service left a lot to be desired. Go for a beer and get out.
Tried this pub for the second time last night, I was disappointed. The service was not terrible but was not great either. I have become accustomed to great servers with upbeat attitudes and they can genuinely make your evening more pleasant....this attitue results in a great tip, not so last night. The food as well was sadly lacking. I ordered brushetta, instead of rich tasty bread, it had the consistency of a crouton, the waitress agreed even breaking the "toast" to verify my claim. Additionally, the serving was 4 small 2"x4" pieces of bread that were no thicker than the palm of my hand, and the toppings were sparse. I was given the option for a new item, and I chose potato skins, which I thought were overpriced at $9.00. When they arrived, there were 5 skins no thicker than my pinky with a thin layer of cheese barely covering the surface and a scant sprinkling of bacon bits and green onion along with approximately two tablespoons of sour cream. For $9.00 I expected a heck of a lot more. I will not be returning. It is too bad the bar is quite charming and the last time I was there they had a live band which made for a pleasant ambiance..
I visited here last night again. I used to really enjoy the food here, but I recently returned and had the exact same thing "St. Patricks Chicken Sandwhich" and it was awful. The bun was at least a couple of days old and the salad wasn't mixed greens at all, it was more like the type of garden salad you'd get in a nursing home.
The ambiance is still fantastic, although I'm finding it to be a much, much younger crowd than it used to be. I used to really like going here because the crowd was usually 25+ and there weren't many 19-24 yearolds getting hammered. This appears to have changed.
Perhaps my experience was because it was a Saturday night. I will still return and hope it's better next time.
On a lazy Tuesday night the thoughts were to try the Dublins Crossing as it was quiet for a change. All I have to say is WOW who ever did the decor on this place did a great job on it (our server mentioned that they spent $4 million on the decor) It has a true Irish feel, hardwood flooring, mirrored whiskey ads, wrought iron lighting, and hand layed stone.
There are two levels to try out, the main floor and the second floor. The main floor has a lot of nooks and crannies where you and your friends can sit and upstairs has a great view of what's happening below. If you come early enough you and your friends can sit at the round table that has it's own little area.
Service was top notch as our waiter was very attentive (he is usually the bartender) offered the specials and answered all of our questions we had, he even gave us some history in regards to how the pub was built and the decor that was purchased.
For the meal I had the Saint Patrick's Chicken sandwich very tasty and for a few bucks more I got the onion rings which were fantastic.
I will be back for sure
