04/07/2025: Good wood fired pizza and we were able to get a Guinness from the pub next door and walk it back to have with our pizza. Thank you Elizabeth for allowing us to do that, you’re the best!
22/06/2025: Stonewall Doolin – Disappointing and unprofessional breakfast
⭐ Overall impression:
The Stonewall initially appears modern and appealing/service friendly, but the breakfast experience is disappointing. Poor communication, limited selection, and a lack of professionalism in service create an overall negative impression. 2 out of 5 stars.
⸻
🍳 Breakfast & Selection
• The selection of breakfast dishes is very limited, with little variety and little creativity.
• I ordered a set meal that specifically included a strawberry smoothie – it wasn't served.
• When I asked the waiter, they simply replied, "Not available today," without any advance notice, apology, or proactive suggestion for a replacement.
• I then explicitly asked if they could bring an orange juice instead – this request was accepted without comment.
• The waitress then returned with a glass of yogurt, apparently mixed with a few strawberries, without a word, in a smeared glass with spills on the outside, and simply placed it down without a word.
• No comment, no explanation why it was yogurt instead of orange juice, no appreciation for the guest.
• The breakfast tasted okay, but no more than standard.
⸻
💶 Value for money
• Clearly too little for the price, especially when they don't even serve what was ordered.
• No clear communication, no balance, no customer-oriented behavior.
• The value for money is not right.
⸻
🧑🍳 Service & Atmosphere
• The service was reserved to the point of disinterest, no personal approach, no guest orientation.
• Modern atmosphere
• Water glasses are not dried and are served wet - no go
⸻
💬 Conclusion
Stonewall Doolin is disappointing across the board: limited selection, unprofessional service, and a lack of communication.
The handling of a simple problem (missing smoothie) was clumsy and unpleasant, and the response to queries was almost rude.
3 stars - not recommended for a relaxed or reliable breakfast.
