At this point, most diners will find themselves full to bursting, but try to save a little room for dessert.

Crest, as its final course in the “clover combo,” offered a “wee slice” of cake, topped with what I guess qualified as a “wee scoop” of ice cream. It served as a fitting end to a massive Irish meal.
