    Where to begin, this was a special dinner and I really wanted everything to go perfect. Having chosen the garden igloo I was a little apprehensive how things would go. Upon arrival we were escorted to the garden and found the table and setting in the special igloo along with some lightly falling snow to be enchanting. It was like eating in a giant snow globe. The service was exceptional. Adrien was the best host and we were even introduced to the chef when we left. The food was amazing, every course was just perfect in preparation, taste and presentation. We had a magical dinning experience in the garden and will most definitely return. Ray P.

    Valentine’s Day was the first time my husband and I visited The Shannon Rose and we loved it so much we booked a reservation with friends for next weekend before leaving the parking lot! Food was phenomenal! Was it slow coming out, sure, but it was Valentine’s Day at the peak of dinner rush. Even better than the food was the service. Hailey is a rock star! She took everything in stride and remained pleasant even when things were a bit slow and hectic all at the same time. We had the Boxty’s, scotch eggs, bbq chicken pizza, French onion soup, chicken pot pie and fish n chips. Deeeeelicious!! My drink, the Peach Snap-ple was one of the best drinks I’ve had anywhere. All in all a great experience. And cannot wait to go back!

    We had a lot of fun and it proves you don’t have to spend a ton on Valentine’s Day dinner. We were greeted when we arrived and our server was very attentive. The place was cutely decorated. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for something different.

    We went for an early dinner 4pm reservation on Valentines Day. My wife and I had the Spellbinder drink, the hibiscus was aromatic and it was one of the best and strongest margarita I’ve had in a while. We also tried their Colossal Crab Cocktail from the raw bar. Then we had the Collosal Crab Cake from the starters. And for the main course we had the Lobster Spaghetti (a whole Maine lobster) and the Scallops. The experience was lovely and the food was delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try other dishes.
