Avenue in Maynooth

05/11/2025: We booked a table for a medium sized party at 1.30. When we arrived the place was packed with a funeral. A birthday party were then seated at a long table parallel to us. It was a squeeze trying to get in and out of our seats and we had to constantlyshiftaroundto allow servers access. We enquired about vegan options when we booked and were told that wasn't a problem. The server took the orders for the table and said she would come back to me about vegan dishes - she didn't. My son went to the bar and was told someone would be down to talk with me - that didn't happen either. I eventually nabbed the server again and she came back to me with the vegan options as the rest of the group was being served their meals. I had to wait on mine and it honestly made me feel really awkward. The food was good and the portions were large. The service was dreadful - they also forgot my son's food and had to be reminded. I know it was busy but these groups would have been booked in advance so they should have staffed the place accordingly. The friendly, apologetic staff couldn't make up for the bungled service.
