The Locke in Limerick

06/01/2026: Had the cauliflower steak and some sides at a birthday party staff were great especially the man who took the orders and the other fella who brought out the cake food was top class

04/01/2026: We went here for dinner and the food itself was fine. The restaurant was very busy, which can often be a good sign, but unfortunately the staff seemed too rushed to really pay attention to the guests. My main issue came when we paid. We paid by card, but the waitress did not give us a receipt. I immediately felt something was off, as it seemed like the amount charged was higher than what was on the bill. When I asked to see the receipt, she only handed me the bill again and somewhat cheekily asked if there was a problem. When I later checked my bank account at home, I discovered that a 10% tip had been added without my consent. I was very surprised that this could happen. It’s not about whether I can afford to tip or not, but adding a tip without asking the customer feels dishonest and unacceptable. Because of this experience, I can only give the restaurant a low rating. I hope management will address this internally and reflect on how their customers are treated
