3 /5 Mary Naughton: This is a lovely place we were able to check out in Owego, part of the Parkview Inn. We had cups of hot coffee (it was such a cold day), and salads along with french onion soups. We should’ve ended there because, though the french onion crock was a normal size, it is filling.
We ordered the shepherds pie (beef) and chicken pot pie. Both of them were ok. The chicken pot pie was a touch better. The shepherds pie is not something I could recommend if you’ve ever made it yourself and forget it if you’ve ever had it in Ireland. I can’t put my finger on why the taste was so generic, possibly the frozen mixed veg of peas, corn, and carrots added in. It was so lacklustre, I’d urge you to get something else. I’m sure they must do a nice burger or wings or something. The soup and the salad were the highlight of the meal. This was truly a let down. The staff are nice and the place looks nice but they don’t have the “pub” thing down at all. McGirk’s does a better Irish fare and let’s be honest, that’s not saying much either.
