Irish Appetizers?

Mc Cormack's
365 3rd Ave, New York, NY

By far the worst place to go in our budget restricted and cool food trip. Nothing seemed right from the very beginning. They made us sit for dinner at 6! Then they tried to guilt us into ordering food by providing bread (would be good service on other days perhaps). They did not give their famed potato pancakes separately which I did not understand why. Then the waitress got all uptight when we ordered only artichoke hearts (as everything else was too pricey or not exotic enough)- she probably was trained to shoo us off and she seemed to show no qualms about that. My system wouldn't allow some lame salad to be forced into it so I retired after two bites and despite the grating waitress, we tipped her good enough- to get to a total of $12!
The place has no charm of the Irish pubs in the east village though the good part are the two huge screens for games but it seems like a confused set up for any pub/restaurant. Is avoidable unless you have too much money to spend on meat and potatoes. And for an atmosphere, may I suggest a visit to the village?
