      As usual Best of Times and Danversport rose to the occasion and put on a GREAT Irish Celebration! The food was delicious and served quickly and very hot. The wait staff were great What a fun, entertaining show. I had a pleasant surprise personally, because over 40 years ago I used to go out of my way to see George Casey on Cape Cod perform at the steakhouse and here he was in Danversport great comedian.!
