    We booked a Valentine's Day dinner. Both a special pre-fixe and the full regular menu were available. My son has spaghetti (with butter) and he ate the whole bowl. They gave a meatball on the side with sauce and it was excellent. My wife had the pre-fixe with mozzarella salad, lobster and shrimp, and peach cobbler everything was excellent. I was also surprised at the amount of food given. I had the fried calamari, chicken and waffles, onion rings, and sorbet. Everything was perfect. Brought half of the chicken and waffle home because of the amount of food. If I ever came back, I would get it again. It was really good. Our waitress seemed new. It took her a while for everything and she didn't check on drink refills. Bottom line is that the food is very tasty. Everything was well seasoned. The portions were plentiful. Atmosphere was fun and vibrant. Prices were a little high- more like a restaurant in NYC versus a mall. I would definitely come back here again.

    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!
