By Patricia Summerfield March 12, 2009 I went to St Brendans Inn for dinner and as I walked in I felt transported to Ireland without the expense of a plane ticket. The décor is dark woods with hanging stained glass light fixtures, but the focal point of the restaurant is the set of gorgeous high stained glass windows that surround the dining area. Also on display is a hand painted picture of St. Brendan with a prayer and various Irish sayings on the walls. Situated back in the corner is a charming cozy sitting area with a real wood burning fireplace. They have a long bar and lounge area with small tables and a wooden bench, which is the only designated place where smoking is allowed. They have a full bar which also features 14 imported tap beers.
Tonight the entertainment was a musician from Ireland, Jeff Ward, who was singing a variety of Irish folk songs and working the crowd into a festive mood. I decided to order their Irish fare off the menu, I started with a pint of Guinness, which was served with a design of a shamrock on top of the foam, how fun! For my dinner I ordered a cup of Irish root soup for $2.50 and their Irish stew for $11.95. My soup consisted of pureed sweet potatoes, leeks, carrots and garlic; it also was served with a design of a shamrock made with sour cream on top. The soup was thick and deliciously flavored, perfect for the cold night. My Irish stew was full of very tender pieces of sirloin, rutabaga, turnip, seasoned vegetables with a perfect blend of seasonings. On top of the stew was a mound of creamy mash potatoes with slices of homemade Irish brown bread with Kerrygold Irish butter on the side. The service from the bartenders, to the hostess, and the waitress were all very welcoming and they were all on top of things. The combination of the gay atmosphere and the hearty, wholesome, delectable meal made for a truly delightful evening.
