17/02/2025: Beautiful food & piping hot & extremely fresh & exceptional service! Love there’s no service charge & tips are distrubuted among staff👌

15/02/2025: Our absolute favourite restaurant to eat in Navan. The staff, food and ambience is out of this world. I have good allergies which the cater for every time.

24/02/2025: Wonderful food, service, ambiance. Four of us loved every minute. Every detail was perfect. It's my new favourite restaurant.

15/02/2025: It’s a regular dining spot for us predominantly for the atmosphere and superb food. The team at Dax are always attentive and tuned in to the customers needs. Graham’s creative culinary delights from the kitchen are always superb. And there is never a shortage of delightful wines at whatever price point you choose. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a leisurely lunch.

18/02/2025: Myself and my friends have been here a good few times but unfortunately on this occasion we were very disappointed. The appetiser which was bread, olives, butter etc was not great bread cold and didn't seem that fresh. Ordered scallops as a starter it arrived with one scallop and for the price of €15 you would expect at least 3... which used to be the case when we were there before. Seems to be a lot of cut backs even the petit fours weren't great and seemed not much effort had been put into them only one flavor where there used to be 4. The prices are definitely higher and the amount of food is significantly less. We all thought it wasn't the same experience as previous visits and I don't think we will be returning.

15/02/2025: Excellent food and excellent service

01/01/2025: Atmosphere and welcome couldn’t be better! Loved the live music and friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth the visit!

07/12/2024: Malzards don't do food, but Fred the landlord is the perfect host... Pub of 2024 is well deserved..

06/01/2025: Small but very cozy restaurant. Lovely authentic Italian restaurant. Really enjoyed it here. Service was fantastic also.

01/01/2025: Lui makes the best Best chocolate ganache cake.

11/03/2025: This was my second time at Thyme and what I can say is that the place is always amazing The staff are helpful, smiling and attentive, everything is impeccable and the food is fantastic

09/03/2025: Had a fabulous meal in Thyme last week- food was top notch, staff were great and there was a lovely atmosphere- only negative is that it is very difficult to get parking close by.

03/02/2025: Delicious 😋 I go every year here, think it’s always improving! Love it

19/01/2025: A great find and an amazing night thanks to the food and service. Well worth a visit. Kids absolutely loved it as well.

10/02/2025: Super delicious Japanese Hokkaido Cheese Tarts. Limited availability so a lot of flavors run out closer to the end of the night. A little bit on the pricy side at €3.9 a pieces for a few bites. Good amount of bar seating but the chairs weren't super comfortable and not super conducive for groups.

07/02/2025: Yummy cheese tart and perfect customer service !

26/01/2025: This review is a couple of months late, with my apologies. We enjoyed a spectacular meal in November 2024 and I had wanted to say thank you so much. The pumpkin & parmesan croquettes were life-changing... the gnocchi sublime. The thing that made it perfect though was the service which was warm, enthusiastic and professional. Our server was unflappable even when the table next to us set their napkin on fire, and seemed completely uninterested in putting it out. We got an awful fit of the giggles but she was serenity itself as she saved the day. I would come back to Kinsale just to visit The Black Pig. The food was truly the best meal I've had in 10 years, maybe more - every dish perfection. The prices are a steal compared to the highway robbery that's taken over Dublin with largely boring, poorly executed food.

19/01/2025: Well isn’t this quite the find! So lovely we went back the 2nd night … Staff … adorable,helpful, friendly, warm, kind ✅ Food …. Fantastic … not your traditional sit down eat restaurant experience but much more laid back with the feeling of sharing boards/ plates but you don’t have to share if that’s not your thing! ✅ Wine … my husband’s idea of heaven … extensive wine lists … glasses available for all …. interested staff to chat with …. Suits me extremely well too … a glass or two of bubbly and a yummy pudding wine … all in all suits us both. ✅ Do book early … it’s extremely busy but they do have walk ins at the bar but you’ll need to go early … we were delighted. Thank you

12/02/2025: sorry but I have to. raw fries, dry chicken. Visible white hairs in the meal. These guys don't know what a kebab is

28/01/2025: Always pleased after getting a take away from Glin Grub it’s one of the best places in Limerick I recommend greatly. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is very good. Chips are delicious aswell as the pizzas 🍕 their chicken kebab is my favourite so tasty and the curry coleslaw chips. All of their food is great I’m a very happy customer thank you : ⭐️ )

12/02/2025: No. 35 came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Every dish was just perfect. And the staff were so friendly and welcoming. One of the best meals I’ve had in years.

15/01/2025: We had made a reservation at this lovely restaurant for our one night in Kenmare. We were seated on time upstairs , which was a quiet and cozy room with only a few tables. The wine selection was good and we had a wonderful meal, easily the best meal we had on our entire 10 days in Ireland. We started with the pear, pecan and blue cheese salad, a nice portion, easily split for two people with just the right amount of dressing. The Mancini balls with goat cheese were very tasty. Our meals were delicious , the hake with potatoes and leeks and the lamb ragu. All of it was outstanding. However, the service was terrible. Our waitress, Emily, was impatient and rude. We asked a few questions as it was our first time dining here and wanted a few moments to look at the menu. She rolled her eyes at us the first time and the second time when she returned with our water when we had a question about the wine. When we asked if we were bothering her, she said no but proceeded to ignore our table the rest of the evening , notably chatting and serving other tables nearby. We are not difficult patrons and are very engaging and gracious to those that work hard in restaurants. We didn't let it ruin our meal. Her lack of service was reflected in her lack of tip and we did speak to the manager on the way out when he asked us how our meal was. I would return because of the outstanding food, but ask for a different server.

06/02/2025: Barry provides an oasis of taste, atmosphere, personable expertise to provide a unique experience

06/02/2025: Great food and wine. Barry was very friendly and attentive. We'll be visiting again :)
