Oriel Hotel in Cork

05/11/2024: Modified Italian food, not passable overall.

03/11/2024: We came here today and we were given the table directly in front of the screen waiters or staff use, which means that we had waiters looking directly at us and our table for almost the whole time we were there. I felt really uncomfortable as someone was always there standing directly in front of our table. This table shouldn’t be there, or screen should be moved somewhere else so there is no staff constantly watching you. When it comes to food, I got Risotto Al Filetto, it was ok but small portion for €21.90, I wouldn’t order it again. Also garlic bread is just half a wrap with garlic butter on it. Tiramisu wasn’t good at all, I would say the worst I ever had and this place claims to be an Italian restaurant. Filling was runny, 95% of this dessert was just warm runny cream or whatever they used to make it, barely any coffee taste and almost no biscuit base, very disappointed. Paid almost €40 for my food and I am still hungry as portions were tiny. Staff were polite and made you feel looked after but food was average in my opinion.
