Hi Willie: We just ate at the Liffey and I will tell you what the best deal is-happy hour. It starts at 11 am until 6 pm and pints of Guinness are $3-3.50. Then it starts again around 9 pm or so and appetizers are $1.99 and pints are $3-3.50 again. It's just across the street from the new Excel Arena and the interior is absolutely gorgeous. Plus they had a nice reuben sandwich loaded with corn beef, sauerkraut and cheese plus huge plate of skin on fries for $8.50. Parking is free in the back.
True Thai was just okay on my one and only visit. I had a dish that was way to oily--oilier than any Thai food I've ever had or cooked. I should have ordered the fish but it was kind of expensive even at lunch.
The Mediterranean place you mentioned becomes a really good deal when you use the Entertainment book coupon B1G1 free and has a belly dancer on Fri and Sat nights. The food I've had there has been very good.
