Ri Ra

This month we had Irish food, because of well St. Patrick's Day and because a couple of us are Irish. We had an daunting task before us to find a good Irish pub here in Vegas, as our favorite one closed down last year. Lucky for us I work in an industry that allows me to find this stuff out. When I go the paperwork on a new Irish pub coming to the Manadaly Bay I googled them and then told everyone that I had found our restaurant. 

When we walked into the restaurant you felt like you had been transported to Ireland, the music playing was Irish music (in fact several of our favorite bands were played) and there was this really cool sign that said God gave the Irish Whiskey so that they wouldn't take over the world. 

We then got down the business of ordering our food. What a challenge this was as all the food delicious. 

We ordered an appetizer of Hand Cut Chips with Irish Curry, these were absolutely delicous.
Kim ordered the KILBEGGAN SALMON -crab, shrimp & brie stuffing, lobster sherry sauce,  
mashed potatoes, sautéed asparagus. She absolutely loved it. 

Melanie and I split the IRISH POTATO CAKES - pan seared, savory sour cream, balsamic reduction, and the THE BISTRO crumbled goat cheese, walnuts, diced green apple, sliced red grapes, champagne vinaigrette. This was the best potato cake I have ever eaten the salad was amazing. 

Jess ordered the SHEPHERD’S PIE - minced lamb, carrots, peas, onions, fresh herbs, savory gravy, mashed potato crust. She is still talking about how amazing that meal was. 

For dessert we ordered rice pudding that was one of the best rice puddings we have ever eaten. 

We all decided that we love this restaurant.
