Food: Bland flavors, high prices

A trudge through O'malley's menu is akin to navigating a culinary desert. Dishes reek of a glaring absence of creativity and originality. The taste scales towards the mundane, with meals often being a symphony of disappointment. Freshness has supposedly taken a backseat, with conspicuous evidence in pre-packaged greens and old, soggy halibut. For the audacious prices on the menu, the value for money is scarcely felt and the limited range only adds to patron's confusion.

  • Large Portions

    Generous, large, hearty portions described as filling and well presented.

  • Okay Taste

    Food experiences vary with both great and average feedback from customers.

  • Bad Value

    Poor service and mediocre food not worth high prices.

Vibe: Uninspiring beverages, smokey view

The ambiance is inviting and comfortable, and the live music livens up the place. However, the vibe doesn't quite translate to the drinks that merely meet the bar of decency. A smoke-palled patio dampens what would have been a pleasant dining experience. Attempts to hold intimate conversations might be hindered by loud chatter and occasional chaos.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, inviting and comfortable decor creates exceptional ambiance and mood.

  • Okay Drinks

    Decent beer choices and prices, but food quality affects the experience.

  • No Views

    Smoking on patio distorts the otherwise enjoyable dining experience.

Perks: Unfriendly to pets, intolerable noise

The despairing hunt for parking and deafening noise are seasoned irritants. While the inviting outdoor area might allure some, others might be turned away by the not-so-pet-friendly policies, as many had to abandon their meals abruptly. Slow and inattentive service further add to the list of grievances. Although the place doesn't seem very amenable to dietary restrictions, the restaurant is considered well-suited for large group events.

  • Great Outdoor

    Outdoor area cozy with fireplace, lightings, and plants; ideal for gatherings.

  • Okay For Groups

    Most reviews positive for groups, a few mention service delays when busy.

  • Bad Service

    Service sometimes slow, inattentive, with long waits for food or service.
