Molly's Irish Bar and Restaurant Cusco

I would not have given four stars if it had not been for Carlos! We started out with a waitress who was nice but more interested in hanging with some regulars at the bar than checking on us. I don't know if Carlos noticed and took over, but all of a sudden frustration with inattention turned into fun conversation and positive attention from him. It is amazing what high quality service can do for one's experience at a restaurant/bar - and conversely how mediocre service can ruin what would otherwise be a fun evening. As far as the food, my wife and I were not impressed. She wanted shrimp curry. It took fifteen minutes for the waitress to come back and tell her they didn't have any after ordering. The BLAT sandwich she got instead was OK. I ordered Shepherd's Pie having read positive reviews from supposed Irish people. Don't know what kind of Shepherd's Pie they got, but mine was 3/4 mashed potatoes that tasted like potato flakes. There was not much cheese and a very thin layer of tasty meat stew underneath. I scaped off much of the unsatisfactory potato and ended up leaving somewhat hungry. So if I were you, I would ask to sit in Carlos' section and order something different to eat.
