Riley is always begging to go out to dinner. So this week we checked out The Dish which is in the South End. Riley and I are big fan’s of the South End, so whenever we hear about pet friendly restaurants around the area, you don’t have to ask us twice to see what’s good about them. The outdoor patio was a decent size and I had to peak inside to see what it looked like. I thought it was very cool and the style of the bar was very unique and different. I think the best part about The Dish was the staff. Probably the friendliest waitstaff in Boston. However, I could be saying that because they all loved Riley and continued to tell us how awesome she was. Her good looks scored her a bowl of water and some bread rolls, lucky dog. The full bar is what seemed to get my roommates to keep going back for more and the food was pretty great too, we had the Italian pizza of which we ate every last bite. The prices were a bit expensive for me but it is the South End, so I wasn’t too surprised.

The Kinsale Irish Pub is the latest restaurant Riley and I have been to, and we loved it! Located at 2 Center Plaza in Boston, this restaurant is so unique. Now, I know there are hundreds of Irish pubs around the area but this was is special. This Pub is completely authentic. It was built in Ireland and transported here brick by brick. The inside is filled with wood, stone, large murals and Irish music playing in the background.

The outdoor patio is huge with lots of other people dining out with their pups. During the nice weather, you might have a while to wait for the patio, but the bartenders are super friendly and have a wide variety of beer and wine to serve you while you wait. While we were dining, we happen to sit next to a couple with a 3 year old lab that got along great with Riley. They sat quietly together while we ate our dinner. However, Riley couldn’t help but drool over my Irish beef stew, which was delicious. I thought the food was reasonable priced and the service was friendly but a little slow. Also, customers spending over $20 enjoy free validated parking in the neighboring Center Plaza Garage, any time on weekends or after 6pm on weekdays. We will definitely be going back for more Irish fun very soon.
