A Bite O' the Irish....

At the Irish bar across from work, where many a beer has been downed, I would eventually have to partake in the grub. During a late lunch, I tried a fluffy omelet. It gets a thumbs-up and this coming from a non-omelet eater (sometimes they are just too filling). All ingredients of this mushroom, red pepper and spinach were fresh! Now that's a rare find especially coming from a kitchen of a Midtown bar. Side dish of coleslaw had a touch too much mayo, but enjoyable nonetheless.


The chicken fingers, which were decent enough and accompanied by a homemade honey mustard. They were almost flash-fried tempura-style, but would have been tastier deep-fried. The meat was a tad inconsistent. Hard on the outside near the crust and somewhat juicy near the middle.

Emmett's is a great bar with good food and great service. The cleanliness of this establishment is extremely noteworthy. You would imagine it being a dingy, dark, dirty Third Avenue Irish bar congested with Midtown Happy Hourers, but Emmett's is spotless - from the bar to booths to the bathrooms. You gotta love the greeting from Emmett everytime and the quick refills of beer can't hurt either.
