    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!

    What a lovely new place in town to enjoy breakfast or lunch! Delicious options for both . I enjoyed an open faced chicken salad on sourdough while my friend dined on a coffee spiced BLT. The atmosphere was cozy and our waiter Shawn was very attentive. We plan on coming back. Best of luck!

    It was very slow when I had lunch here. Staff was very attentive. Food portion were also great. We kept it simple and ordered the skirt sticks, fried calamari as our apps & penne vodka with chicken for our entree. Had leftovers (goes to show the portions can be GREAT). Would definitely come again!
