Maeve (Mali sorry I didn't catch your name properly) was an amazing waitress who introduced menu to us and offer the best choice. Meal was absolutely delicious and served 10 out of 10. Homemade crafted beer was also good- great idea to have trials of 3 plus side olives. We will definitely recommend this restaurant and hopefully I will come back soon.

Everything so amazing! Only suggestion the toilet floor was wet., and a fews tissue on the floor. If not I'll rate 10 to 10. Definitely I'll come back again,

Easily the best meal I've ever had in Cork. Beautiful ambiance and atmosphere, the staff were friendly, attentative and knowledgeable and the food and cocktails were incredible! The pork belly is to die for and the lamb is one of the nicest dishes I've ever had. Great for a romantic date night. Highly recommend!

I had a rib eye here in 2015 and I still think about it. Elbow Lane set a standard that has been impossible for others to meet. Since, I’ve had expensive steaks in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Belfast and none compare to that ribeye in Cork City a decade ago.

Ate here with my wife last Saturday and it was wonderful. Starters excellent and generous. I had to T Bone steak, she had the ribeye. The guys can really smoke a steak! The cocktails are excellent, wines are good value and staff are friendly. Go!

Amazing! The minute I walk in I feel they love me. Food perfection! Services amazing! Suggestion tge toilet beutiful bur the floor a bit wet. We will be back 🙏🙏🙏❤️

A wonderful find in Cork. A delightful and bustling yet cosy restaurant. We were warmly welcomed by the staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and took the time to explain what was on offer. The Ribeye steaks were outstanding and the pepper sauce grating and charred broccoli were the perfect accompaniments. Sadly we had no room for dessert. A great restaurant.

Großartig, ein kulinarisches Highlight in Cork, hochklassiges Essen, bester Service, gekrönt vom leckeren selbstgebrauten Bier. Wir kommen wieder.
