Husband and I were up for celebrating a special day with dinner out but were not up for fighting the parking mess in downtown Nashville. We had driven by McNamara’s many times but never tried it, as we like a little more upscale in our...dinners out. But we agreed it would do for at least a try.
We were blown away! First parking lot was huge and almost filled, but there was parking across the street anyway. Then we were seated right away by a smiling little pretty, and then greeted almost as quickly by a friendly waiter. This was looking good!
Without going into too much detail, let us say there wasn’t a single thing we had that we wouldn’t rate below superlative. Irish bread? Best I’ve eaten in a restaurant. Scotch eggs? What a delightful munch before dinner. Corned beef and cabbage? Look at the size of the portion! Chicken with mushrooms? Outstanding! Irish cream cheesecake? OMG. Irish beer? Really, really great. With tax, the bill came to $80 for all 4 courses, an extra side, and liquor ( and I had wine). Needless to say this will be our new favorite restaurant in the local area.
If you’re not convinced that you should come here, let me add that also there was LIVE entertainment…on a Thursday. An Irish trio fiddling and singing Irish folk songs to liven up the atmosphere. Played the entire time we ate there.
Even if you live on the other side of Nashville, it is worth the drive, folks. It simply is that good!More
