Mulvaney's B&L

I took my team there to celebrate our year. What a wonderful experience we had. The service was perfect and thoughtful the food was amazing the chef even came out to speak with us. This was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had

First time experiencing this place. Everything was delicious. Staff was so friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is a true Gem.

Beautiful atmosphere. Very professional and kind staff. Thank you for keeping my water glass full! We enjoyed the specials as well as some from the menu. Our friends were visiting from out of state and wanted a steak. You did not disappoint.

We all have off nights—we get it—but our dinner experience in February of 2024 was a very off night for the kitchen and our server. It was more unfortunate as this was supposed to be a very special night to celebrate my wife’s birthday, which the restaurant had been informed of well in advance. We were seated on the patio under a heat lamp, but in the breezeway. It was still cold. No one offered a blanket, but we discovered only because a departed guest gave us their blanket, that the restaurant had them if you ask. Why should we have to ask? Our server was clearly having a bad night. After explaining the menu as she leaned on our table, she announced to us that this was her busy time, letting us know that things might take a bit longer because she was busy. If you can't handle the tables and ensure that each customer is properly served in a restaurant of this caliber, then this is not the job for you. My wife asked our server a few questions about wine, and it was clear she was in over her head. So, she asked for a taste of a Rosé that interested her. Five minutes later—way too long for a taste—our server raced by our table and put the wine glass on the edge of the table nearest me, not my wife. She kept walking briskly by, never saying a word. A few minutes later, the restaurant sommelier appeared. Therese began asking questions, and he began making suggestions. I have never encountered a sommelier so resistant to providing a taste when asked, and Therese did ask several times. He would only respond by saying, repeatedly, "How can I explain it better so you can understand..." She ended up with a Chenin Blanc that was good, fortunately, or we would have sent it back. I asked for a gin drink on the menu, which arrived more than 20 minutes after my wife’s wine was served. Throughout the evening, our server continued racing by our table, dropping off utensils and courses, often where we had to reach for them to place them in front of us, without so much as a word, never checking in to see how the dishes tasted. Our main dish arrived. We had the sesame-crusted ahi tuna with house-made soba noodles. I looked at my plate and immediately knew it was bad simply because the ahi had very visible white streaks. Any chef and server with the most basic of training should recognize the white streaks as connective tissue, which is very chewy. For this reason, sushi chefs and skilled chefs know to avoid ahi showing this connective tissue. I attempted to cut into the first piece of ahi, and no go ... too tough. My wife's ahi was not as bad, so she made do. Tina, the GM, who was super friendly and excellent, was passing by, and I stopped her and noted my ahi was not good. She immediately asked if she could have the kitchen prepare me another one. She also brought me soup so I would have something to eat while waiting. That was a nice gesture. The second ahi dish arrived and was good. We ordered three scoops of sorbet, walnut, Meyer lemon, and kiwi lime for dessert. It was served mostly melted. Unfortunately, our server disappeared so fast after dropping this off at the table we had to wait a few minutes until she returned so we could snag her and let her know the dessert was not acceptable and that we would not pay for it. Tina appeared again, apologetically confirming that the kitchen and restaurant were having an off night with us. She told us she had taken the dessert off the bill. Frankly, given all the failures, it would have been more than appropriate to offer a further discount on a bill for a night that had turned into anything but a birthday celebration. We paid our bill, but given what transpired during the dinner service and the fact that the restaurant never replied to an email sent to them the following day, we will not return, let alone recommend it to anyone.

My husband and I dined at Mulvaneys for the first time. It was a busy night and it took very long to get our drinks and food orders more than an hour. The food was very delicious but we decided to take most of it home . Our food was taken to the back and packed up and when we were leaving we discovered we only had one to go box in the bag only to find out they had put both meals in one to go box, pork chops and fish. My husband has a allergy to fish and I by choice do not eat pork. Very dissapointing
