"I've driven past here for 20 months without realizing what a gem I was missing out on. Quick points; absolutely exquisite food, attentive service, serene but lively atmosphere- all of which have been hard to find in a neighborhood bar since my favorite shut down due to Covid. RIP AFK Tavern.I stopped here twice over the last couple weeks because one time is just chance but twice is setting a standard. The food was beyond anything expected. Complex yet comforting flavors in every dish. Puff pastry pizzas were a perfect lunch or snack; light and flaky but deliver several layers of joy with each bite. The meatballs are hearty. Cheese, marinara, and meat- every bite pairs perfectly atop crisp bread. The sandwiches offer a filling option seasoned and topped to absolute perfection; even the grilled cheese. 4 different cheeses that work together beautifully with crisp sour dough. And don't get me started on the stew.What really made this place stand out though was the service. Daniel has been not only been welcoming; but attentive, courteous, and a delight to converse with when not attending to other patrons. Every staff interaction was enjoyable from the moment I sepped through the door; which added to the warm and inviting atmosphere making me stay the second I walked in to take a look.Don't miss out on this lovely little Irish pub on the corner 45th and Meridian. As it is, I'm sad to have missed out on it for so long"
