The best restaurants

25/03/2025: I contacted Matt in a panic at very short notice to cater for my Mam's funeral when we were let down. He was absolutely incredible. The food and service he provided was just perfect but much more than that, at a very difficult time, he was kind and patient and took wonderful care of our friends and family. He does not just cater your event he takes care of people. I also had the opportunity to taste his amazing scones when I popped in the settle the account. Amazing!!! Treat yourself and pop in and sample his fare.

13/02/2025: Only good thing about jacksons restaurant is the young staff that wait the tables. Me and my brother and friends will never go back to kacksons again and advise people not to go there. As the management t told my brother aidan and one of his friends that they were not welcome there that they were creating a bad atmosphere which whey were not as I was with them and that there was a lot off people wanting to come in in which there wasn't as they were the only ones in the front area and they were chatting and laughing and not causing any trouble at all. I personally would not go into a restaurant like that where the management would blatantly lie and tell me I was causing trouble by just going in ordering food and chatting to friends it is the hith off bad manners

22/12/2023: One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The food was beautifully prepared and served promptly. It was delicious and a very full portion. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. There was a good atmosphere. The music was a little old, but each song was a classic. Highly recommended and worth a try. Thanks for a great meal.

27/10/2023: Aroi has been a delightful surprise in the quaint town of Carrigaline. Despite my initial reservations in a smaller locale, this establishment exceeded all expectations with its exceptional menu offerings. Our recent visit saw us savoring the Hong Kong Chicken and Teriyaki Duck Donburi, both of which left an indelible impression. The Hong Kong chicken, reminiscent of Panda Express's Orange Chicken in the United States, was a flavor-packed delight. The Teriyaki Duck Donburi, equally commendable, exhibited an exquisite fusion of flavors and a generous selection of vegetables. Aroi's cocktail selection is a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. The Espresso Martini, in particular, was a standout. Before our main course, we indulged in the Thai calamari starter, which truly transported our taste buds. The use of chili icons on the menu to indicate the spiciness level of each dish is a testament to the restaurant's authenticity and thoughtfulness, making it easy for patrons to select dishes tailored to their preferences. This level of attention to detail is much appreciated, and it genuinely reflects the authentic Asian culinary experience. Moreover, the staff at Aroi is not only attentive but also a pleasure to interact with. I highly recommend Aroi to anyone seeking a truly authentic and exceptional dining experience in Carrigaline. It's a gem in this small town and a testament to the culinary prowess of the team behind it.

28/04/2024: A bit expensive for a place that doesn't have the comfort or service of a pub

03/05/2025: Came by this pub by off chance when me and my mate were doing a tour of west coast of Ireland. Coming in early evening we were only intending to stay for a couple but Christine the landlady her partner Mike and Martin one of the regulars made us feel so welcome we ended staying a bit longer and leaving in the early hours, with Martins wife giving us a lift back to our camper van Loved it so much was really tempted to come back for the jazz festival in the village at the end of May but unable to due to work commitments. I do know if you decide to visit you will made to feel very welcome.
