Sean O’Casey’s Irish Pub

It’s in a hotel, it’s convenient, it’s edible. The reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because we had very friendly awesome servers on both occasions.

Yes hotel bars are pricey… I guess we should have known. But to be an Irish bar and have flat Guinness… Just not right. And at 8 $ a pint! The prices are like high end club mark up prices. Insane. I left my fiancé to go to the hotel room and he said they ordered drinks for the groom and friends. Prices were double if not more than an average establishment. Whiskey drinks were 15 $ a glass and it wasn’t the expensive stuff. It lacked any ambiance. Not a good bar at all. Not even for a hotel bar.

Really don’t have much that’s great to say about Sean O’Casey’s except that it’s convenient if you’re staying in the hotel. Except for not, because I could’ve walked to a restaurant in NY to buy food and gotten back in less time than it took to get helped here.
The issue, in my opinion, is that they’re understaffed — as the waiters who ignore us do always seem to be busy and overwhelmed, nevertheless I’d like to be acknowledged when you’re walking by even if you’re too busy to help me at that moment.
The food is… fine. The entrees are very expensive, as are the drinks, though some of the other items are relatively typical prices for the area. Unfortunately the two restaurants in the hotel have the same menu now, before they at least used to be different (so there was more variety).
Warning: the vegetable wrap is cold (and kind of gross), I asked for it without cheese once and still got it, and they said it’d come with sweet potato fries and they gave me regular fries.

I am at the Marriott for 10 days. This pub is only open Friday and Saturday. I was pretty disappointed to find out that when it finally opened after a work week of eating the side bar food, the «Irish pub» uses the same menu. Although the food was good, I don’t know what the point of having this restaurant is.

They serve food. Really, that’s about all that is worth saying about this place. Marriott, or a franchisee, aptly identified that with all the German auto-​makers headquartered here along with a few other major companies having offices here, they just need to meet basic standards of being a restaurant. I do feel confident that the food is safe, it just isn’t good.

This review is based on one visit. This restaurant is located at the Park Ridge Marriott. I met a colleague here for dinner and drinks. This place has a decent beer menu and has a really nice wooden bar. On to the food…
I ordered the Buffalo Wings, Filet Mignon and a few beers. The Buffalo Wings had lots of flavor due to the sauce. The Filet Mignon had no seasoning whatsoever; it was so bland. I let the staff know my concerns about the flavorless filet and she explained to me that it is served that way intentionally. My beers were good as I ordered familiar brands.
Overall, it was a nice looking place with decent beer list and appetizers. Don’t order any steak here. The service was OK and the restaurant was clean.

45 minutes to get a chicken breast with asparagus and when it was finally served it looked like it was the most pre-​packaged meal I have ever seen. Asparagus was barely warm, pretty sure it had been frozen for 12 months and the chicken breast was as rubbery as they come. Your better option is the concierge’s lounge or pretty much anything other than this place.

A pub in a Marriott? What would you expect? Average food, average service. If this place were not in a major hotel, it would probably fail. If this hotel had a proper restaurant, it might do better business. I dined here once, but will be going out the rest of the evenings I am here. Mostly harmless, but there are lots of average restaurants near here that are less expensive and more engaging. Heck even the Marriott Courtyard a mile away has a better restaurant attached.

Stuck at the Park Ridge Marriott on an icy, cold winters evening and didn’t feel like getting in the car looking for dinner. Sean O“caseys irish Pub was our only dining option and it ended up a pleasant experience. It appears to be the type of place that you’ll order a burger or a salad just to be «safe» but our energetic waitress highly recommended the sausage rigatoni and the shepherds pie and my wife and I were both pleasantly surprised. both were decent sized portions and very tasty. I had an above average onion soup for an appetizer… wife had a salad. had a below average manhattan cocktail that just didn’t taste «right». for $ 12.i was extremely disappointed. Atmosphere was casual and comfortable… food more than decent… made us forget about the storm going on outside. OK option.

Stick with the beer and you’ll be fine. The food is nothing to write home about.
The atmosphere in the pub is fun, and the bartender, Johnson, was very good to us. However, it was quite understaffed, since he was the one running in and out of the hotel to serve us when we wanted to sit outside to eat. I felt badly for him.
Also, the food wasn’t great. My grilled fish was a bit rubbery and my beer cheese soup was pretty much tasteless.
Like I said, great for a nightcap if you want to sit in the bar. If you’d like to dine al fresco, there are other places to go.

Had a business meeting in the area and met a few gents for a presentation review and quick lunch. The lobby of the Marriott was very comfortable, free internet and we dropped in to Sean O’Casey’s and had a surprisingly great lunch. No need to leave the hotel folks, great food and the waitress was spot on.

Nice Irish pub. Great for lunch with a new lunch special daily. Salad was huge.
For dinner, I got the Filet and it was cooked well with a nice mash potato side.
We also got wings for an app, they were large. Could have been cooked a little more to get that crisp I like on the outside.
Good drink menu for a hotel bar.

I went to this place years ago and it was fantastic, packed to the brim, great food, great service. Despite living a few minutes away from this place, I completely forgot about it… until a few weeks ago.
On the second visit the place is just awful. The menu was completely different, and the service was awful. I was there with a friend, we were the only two people in the joint for lunch service. The beer tasted as if it was watered down or stale, I’m not sure which… both probably. I had gotten the fish and chips and it came out burnt. How do you overcook food when there’s no rush?
No wonder this place is always empty now!

Irish themed bar inside the marriot. Good if your stuck in the marriot and can’t get down to peppercorns or Daveys… Always super empty, you gotta catch the bartender to order food sometimes.

This restaurant is located in the Park Ridge Marriott. The food is pretty good, but the service is super super slow. There was literally no one in the place for lunch and it still took us about 1 hour to order, get served and eat. I got the tomato and blue cheese soup with a half order of the Cuban sandwich. My friend had the turkey club. Everything was pretty good. I wish my soup was a bit hotter, but no big deal (especially since it was about 96 degrees out that day). Oh and the staff is extremely nice and helpful. They will go out of your way to make sure you have a good expereince.
