Views & locationWaiting times
Grand spot. Had my birthday dinner there. Fantastic location. Some view. Good service. Lovely food. Plenty off. Kids meals very expensive(irish thing). Overall highly recommend. Mains about 25eur to 30eur.Kids meals at 10.95euro totally irish ripoff for sure. Great view at the window !!
Dreadful staff. Met at the door by the rudest man. No greeting what so ever, just a blunt have you got a booking. We didn't so we were sent to the corner of the restaurant with no window! I did ask a girl could we get a window seat and we were told if you don't book you can't sit beside a window.
Bizzare set up considering the restaurant had more staff there than customers.
2 guys in the bar, disgraceful, I've never come across such ignorance. And the language they were using,( to each other) we were sat right at the bar so could hear everything.
Food itself was lovely. Lovely menu plenty of selection, but the staff and the service leave nothing to desire a return visit.
Management definitely need to look into the people they have fronting such a stunning venue.
Host man- rude/miserable
Serving staff- polite but young, no attention to detail
Bar staff- dreadful
*TIP* give your customers a nice experience and they might just come back!
Instead of making them feel like a total inconvenience.
Honestly it was just so low quality, I expected something way better from so lovely place.We ordered couple dishes and deserts and only one dish and desert was tasty.Chips tasted like fish ,kids menu was a joke-chips tasted like fish and piza was on morw like a bun,I ordered wings that had no meat on it and came with small amount of sauce on them so I asked some extra sauce but they tasted like they have been dried for a while before serving them.There was a lovely dish for my partner I think it was beef steak sandwich or something, that was good and deserts were delicious but the way they were present was quite poor ...Well the view is lovely, the waiting staff class but the food could get some improvement.
