The Dark Horse Irish Gastro Pub

“We attended a graduation party at The Dark Horse Irish Gastro Pub on Saturday, May 9 at 5:00 PM with a group of about 20 people, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. The patio area is absolutely beautiful, and the garden lights really set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. Our server Sierra was amazing, very attentive, friendly, and great at offering suggestions throughout the night. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the other server’s name, but she was wonderful as well. We ordered two Fish and Chips dinners along with the Steak Frites featuring a grilled 12oz NY strip, pub fries, truffle aioli, and sauce selection. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. One of the highlights of the evening was hearing the Irish folk band One Street Over perform. It truly added to the experience and made the night feel even more special. This was our first time visiting, and it definitely will not be our last. Highly recommend for great food, excellent service, and an unforgettable atmosphere!”

“Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Starting with the service, we arrived as a party of five and got seated immediately without a reservation. The waitress was quick with our order, and she even went out of her way to find me tea! She was very present with a warm energy for all her tables. We did not catch her name, but if you see the redhead with long hair and blue eyes, you can tell her she was awesome! Second, with the food, we were also very impressed with the quality of the flavors and presentation. We got the fish and chips, two dark horse burgers, the seafood chowder and the Mushroom truffle flatbread. We then ended with two deserts, which were a bit small but still delicious. Everyone was full and please by the end of the meal. We would recommend all those options. For the drinks, the ciders were very fresh and enjoyable. For the ambiance, the colorful walls and smaller rooms made it very cozy. It looked like eating at a proper European restaurant, if not a European home. They even had a small photography gallery upstairs, promoting local artists. They are a clear, active member in the community and they make you feel welcome right away. Especially for a restaurant located far away from the main roads, the quality of food and service was excellent.”

“This was the perfect place for a rainy day lunch. The restaurant has a lot of character, lots of seating, indoor and out. The service was very fast and friendly. We enjoyed our food and will be back again.”

“We ate here for lunch on St. Patty's Day. I got the Guinness steak burger (which was a holiday special) and my partner got the shepherd's pie (with ground lamb). We also split a slice of carrot cake. Everything was delicious! My partner, who loves carrot cake, said it was the best she's ever had. The service was prompt and polite. They were very busy, but we didn't have to wait long at all. There is a small art gallery on the upper floor of the building selling photos and paintings by local artists. All of the works were for sale. It was neat to walk through and look at everything.”

“Went on St Patrick’s day for lunch. Got sat in a room that had no St Patrick’s day atmosphere. Ordered lamb pops that were not as described. I got chicken pot pie that was more of an appetizer than a meal. Not what we had hoped for as we drove over 1.5 hrs to celebrate St. Patrick’s day. Spent over $100 for a mediocre meal. Won’t be back!!! Very disappointed!!!”
