The Crane Lane in Cork

22/03/2024: Beautiful place. Nice staff. Food is not great.

20/02/2024: Grill room at river lee club is only good to look at but the quality of food served is not the best. It was my daughter’s birthday and decided to book this place for dinner.honestly speaking the food tasted very bad and unhygienic except one main dish ‘whole dover sole’ which was served at last. ‘harissa gambas pil pil’ was served with digestive tract( did not devein)which could trigger severe allergy…..and was made in some smelly reused black oil.upon asking to the waiter why was this not deveined, he answered this is how Europeans eat. Not mentioning the name of the waiter. ‘Chicken karage’ had bad smell inside as I could see blood spots inside marination and smells terrible as it was not washed. “soft baked bread”was served without butter and not toasted or no dill as mentioned in the menu. It was a bad experience and our evening was ruined, in the process the general manager stepped inn and tried to fix it but if the chef is not talented and not of high ranking the GM’s efforts were not justified.also the waiters just drop the food on the table they are not trained to serve properly.i guess they are students hired for part time jobs but not trained.
