I don't usually write reviews on Yelp, but after last night's dinner at Nine Fine Irishmen, I had to come on and share. My dad and I have been coming to Nine Fine Irishmen for around 4 or 5 years. The first time we ever visited, we were amazed at how much food we got. My dad had the fish and chips and I had the shepherd's pie. Every year that we've come back, we've gotten the same things and have always been pleased. The service has always been hit or miss, but the food kept us coming back. Sadly, last night's trip was a major disappointment and we are probably not going to ever return.\n\nAs per usual, my dad ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the shepherd's pie. The meal came out decently fast and our waitress took acceptable care of us. When the food arrived however, we were not pleased. What had once been a massive helping of fried fish and French fries had become two small strips of fish and a handful of floppy fries. My shepherd's pie looked the same, but the beef was no longer anything special, but tasted instead like a hamburger that had been broken up and drenched in mashed potatoes. The generous pieces of carrot that had been mixed with the beef on our previous visits had been reduced to small (and I mean minuscule) pieces of what I think may have been carrots, they were honestly too small to even be sure.\n\nAfter we picked at our food for a half hour, my dad decided to ask the waitress what had happened to the fish and chips and she explained that they had gotten a new chef and that he had traded out regular cod for Alaskan cod. For $23, I would say that the Alaskan vs. whatever cod they were using before is definitely not worth the price. Don't waste your time here, go to Ri Ra in the Mandalay Bay instead. We are so sad that our favorite Irish pub is no longer living up to what it was before. \n\nHonestly, DON'T LISTEN TO THE POSITIVE REVIEWS. If you want to spend over $20 a person on subpar food then visit, but if you are looking for big, delicious portions then don't waste your time.
