JAMIESON'S
Irish-House & Grill
is a locally owned and operated pub-like restaurant, the likes
of which owner Chris Smith felt was lacking in his hometown
of Dartmouth and surrounding area. After returning home to
Dartmouth in 1994 and 12 years in the 'suit and tie' world,
Chris acted on his long simmering desire to open a unique
neighborhood spot - opening JAMIESON'S in September 1999.
The
concept for JAMIESON'S
is to be a true neighborhood spot - a place where one can
go at various times throughout the day for various reasons:
a casual lunch with family, friends or business associates;
a quiet afternoon tea; a pint of Guiness and a snack after
a long day at the office; an afterwork coffee and a quick
browse through one of our international papers or subscriptions;
a light dinner before the movies; a full and relaxing dinner
with out of town guests, including cocktails and aperitifs
in our relaxing livingroom sections; or, enjoying fine live
entertainment on a Saturday or Sunday evening as a compliment
to one's dining experience.
The
interior of JAMIESON'S
was hand built, with owner Chris Smith doing a lot of the
design, construction and finishing work himself, with a lot
of help and input from friends and acquaintences. "My resources
were quite limited so I had to be pretty creative and innovative
in order to stretch a dollar", says Smith. With some reliance
on carpentry skills from his past, a passion for 'functional
antiques', Smith was able to achieve his goal of a homey,
rustic, comfortable and inviting atmosphere.
The
main reason people come to JAMIESON'S
however, is because of the food. Most of the menu items are
from traditional Irish recipes, tested over the years in Ireland,
as far south as Australia and the Royal York Hotel in Toronto.
Our team of dedicated culinary personnel create some truly
outstanding dishes with flair, making just about everything
from scratch while using the finest and freshest of ingredients..
The
common thread holding everything together is the service.
At JAMIESON'S, we strive
for truly outstanding and characterful service. Our passionate
service team will do everything possible to ensure your experience
here at Jamieson's is a fantastic and memorable one.
