Reviews

Kells has an intoxicating homey feel to it from the moment you enter the restaurant.
The staff punctuates that with their warm smiles and inviting attitude as if you are sharing the dining experience amongst friends.
And you will genuinely believe it by the meal's end, planning a repeat visit before departing.
As for the food and drink, your palate will thank you.
The Irish musician during the evening added the right balance of lively tunes without being overpowering, allowing for ease of conversation.


Service and atmosphere were good.
Sheppard pie had great flavor.
The only problem was that I needed a larger portion.
The price was a great value.
Soda bread was delicious, and the soup was very good.
I didn't get to the cigar room next time for sure.
Great staff, paid attention and made sure evening was in order.
Will definitely visit again!


Yummy, unique food in the heart of downtown! Went here with a girlfriend “just for a drink and apps” but ended up eating our faces off 😋 and indulging in a full dinner + several cocktails (delicious Old Fashioned served by cute, FUN bartenders)! Plus, the delightful hostess, Melissa, offered us a quick tour of the historic building which we were mesmerized by.
Kell’s is certainly an establishment that deserves to be visited and celebrated often.
We’ll be back soon!!!
