AVOID!

1) automatically added 18% gratuity on a 2-person tab
2) glasses are not full pints; we also noticed all the glasses seemed smaller than normal
3) kilts in an Irish pub???
4) no Harp on tap
Didn't eat, but from the other reviews, that was a good thing.

The pub police should come shut down Brickell Irish Pub!

Update:  heard a Fado is opening nearby - good for Miami!

Tijuana Taco Shop

Being next to the Mexican Bakery, I had high hopes for Tijuana Taco.  The chips and salsa were literally 50/50 - institutional chips, but excellent salsa - thin base, but chunks of tomatoes and great flavor.  I ordered black bean soup - watery, but the worst part - I felt like I was eating a salt lick.  I also ordered a veggie taco - the waitress recommended mushroom.  Generic button mushrooms with jack cheese on a corn tortilla - that's it.  So, I ordered a side of guac to jazz it up.  Bland guac!  Skip the Tijuana Taco Shop.

Delicious.  Gorgeous restaurant with great food tucked in the burbs.  Went there for my b-day dinner - hub and I enjoyed Kennett Square mushrooms appetizer with local wine.  Amazing.  Both of us had the salmon for dinner - crazy generous portion served on risotto, and we splurged with the frites as a side.  Skinny fries spiced with truffle oil and Parmesan.  Had to force myself to stop eating.  Atmosphere was "Pottery Barn" meets the bistro.  I've recently moved to the area and see this place becoming a regular.

While doing the tourist thing in Hershey, PA, stopped here for a quick lunch.  Very good -  lunch selection of soup/salad/wraps/sandwiches.  Nicely done, tasty, good portions.  Would recommend.  Staff was also very helpful in giving the 411 about Hershey tourist scene!

Good selection on tap, besides "grocery store" beer, including Brooklyn, Blue Paddle, and Yuengling, but strangely lacked Irish beers!?  Patrons were a little crusty, but it worked for a place to grab a Saturday afternoon pint.
