Zest in Limerick

10/02/2025: No reservation and a solo diner on a Saturday night in Limerick is a sad predicament. Two restaurants declined my request for a table for one. Not so in House. I was greeted and shown to an acceptable, if not fabulous table, but understandable as the place was buzzing. I was looked after by a very busy, yet efficient,waiter. A gin and tonic, Battered Hake and Chips.. The food was fast, perfectly acceptable. Not the biggest portion of fish I've ever seen and Irish prices still shock me (€20 for the hake) But eveb by Irish prices this was actually good value. The whole experience was made far better by a young man, Damien, maybe a maitre d' .. who was concerned my table was not as good a location as I could have received. Rather than just walk past, he stopped and checked if everything was OK. He didn't just stop at my table.. but worked the room. I eat out a lot and this guy was head and shoulders above many supervisors I've seen. The young blond lady, who brought my gin, was also effective and polite.. So many times, when a bar gets busy, solo diners get forgotten as our bills and upselling potential is low gain. Not so in House. Damien and his team made my experience excellent. The chef might want to keep me thin... but the FOH team were fantastic under pressure. Highly recommend. I'll be back.
