    The restaurant was closed when we walked there from our hotel. There wasn’t even a note explaining why

    It was St. Patrick’s Day parade day in NYC and we went to the restaurant with a party of 14 people for dinner. The hostess Marissa and waitress Theresa were excellent! They helped us make our St. Patrick’s Day family reunion an awesome time! Thanks Blackwells!

    This used to be my drinking hole after work pre-pandemic and a wonderful place to be for the alcohol as well as the good food. Go to here is always the burgers and the sweet potato fries which are mouth-watering. I came with some out of town friends and was not disappointed. Love all the NYC Irish pubs and this one is sure to please.

    We arrived at 1 PM January 2 for our confirmed reservation. when we got there the restaurant was closed with no notice on the locked door. To add insult to injury, Blackwells was still taking reservations on OpenTable for that afternoon. Incidentally among our party was a 98 year old in a wheelchair out celebrate the new year with her family. Happy New Year!

    The bar and dining area were very noisy which made conversation difficult unless you enjoy shouting at one another. One of our party had the chicken Caesar Salad and felt that the chicken was a bit salty. The Shepards Pie was average.

    The restaurant is closed on Sundays. I don’t know why I was able to make reservations and confirm them. When we showed up it was closed and had to scramble to try to find another place at the last minute!
