I love the other location so thought we would give this one a try since we were in town. Also thought there was a patio. Started off with 3 kids running around and screaming in the restaurant. I ordered some Irish coffee, which was really good. We had the Caesar wrap and philly which were good. Another person at our table however had garlic fries and chicken wings. She loves the smell of the chilli sauce so as she's smelling it like a real foodie, then she sees a little thick black hair. We took it as people mess up but mentioned it to the waitress. She didn't say much besides that's weird and offered another but lossing appetite. She then took the plate that had the hair on it. Cool carried on to find yet another hair in the garlic fries. That's when it's weird. They said the cooks are bald and asked how long the hair was. Which bald doesn't matter hair is all over the body. Hahaha luckily we still had the second hair at the table with us to show them it. Even if the cooks are bald, There was multiple other people in and out of the kitchen and carrying food, we were sitting in the table right by the door the food was coming out of so we could clearly see those people. They did comp her bill a few bucks not one of her food items though which is weird. There's no way I would have seen hair in my chicken wrap so it also grossed the rest of us out. After reading other reviews it seems like that's how they own up to their mistakes they still expect full payment and could care less if you come back. Wouldn't recommend this location unfortunately.

This is a great spot! The food was amazing, the atmosphere great and the service fantastic. We aren't from the area, but if we ever come back this way, we will definitely eat here again. There were a lot of large groups eating when we arrived, also a lot of kids, but despite all the people, it was still relatively quiet.

We had dinner at O’Blarneys at the Gibson House this past weekend. We sat ourselves and their was a large open dining area with several type of tables and seating to choose from. We immediately had our drink order taken and the drinks were brought quickly. We ordered things from the special menu as well as the standard dinner menu. All of the food was served quickly and hot. The staff checked in on us multiple times. We would eat here again, if we’re in the area.
