I love all things Irish of course, So as part of the plan to devote more time to myself and my relationships this year, my husband and I decided to have dinner and drinks here on our "Date Night". What a gorgeous cosy restaurant/bar, with FANTASTIC FOOD !!! We met Paul one of the co-owners and Steve the bartender, both of whom are super friendly and ready for a good "craic".
We happened to stop in during the annual White Rock "Bite of the Rock" event. This is a "Dine-Out" type event where restaurants put together 3 course set menus for $15, $25, or $35 a head. Glen and I decided that we would do the $35 a head menu and chose and we each chose a different start, entree and dessert so that we could try everything.
Our first course was :
potato pancakes topped with West Coast Pacific Salmon, chopped red onions and lemon dill aioli
OMG !! I normally wouldn't touch anything smoked but I tried this to please my husband (aren't I a loving wife?).
Magnificent !!! This was fantastic, I can't rave around it enough. I could have eaten two dishes of it.
Roasted Garlic & Brie
Wrapped in a filo pastry and served with cranberry relish & herbed flat bread
Totally delish !! What's better than melting brie and cranberries in your mouth?

Our main course :
Irish Whiskey Chicken
Herb rubbed, oven-roasted chicken smothered in Irish Whiskey Sauce
This is the most delicious Whiskey Sauce I've ever had in my entire life. I would have sat and enjoyed a plate of sauce by itself.
Celtic Warrior Pasta
Spicy sausage, ground bison, lamb sirloin, chicken, and wild mushrooms tossed with gnocchi in a creamy garlic tomato sauce
This portion was huge. I couldn't finish it all after the starter and still leave room for dessert.
The kicker, it was even better the next day!!
Our Dessert:
Bnoffee
Graham crumbs, home made toffee, banana, whipped cream, chocolate and caramel

Caramel Apple Crisp
A traditional English dessert
I'm not kidding !! This was a fantastic meal. I really can't complain about anything.
The GUINNESS was fantastic !! We had a long talk with Paul and he told us about how well maintained his lines are. They are cleaned every 3 weeks or so. It was delicious and reasonably priced at $6 for one of the BEST PINTS IN THE LOWER MAINLAND !!!
