The best restaurants

30/11/2024: Crap food, crap staff, no care given to the overpriced pathetic food served here. Never complain in restaurants as it is not my style but I explained to staff and was ignored. Terrible steak with zero flavour, menu was equally Awful. Utterly disappointing food here. Hotel really should be ashamed of what it is dishing out.

23/11/2024: Food was top class, I had the prawn tacos and I’d highly recommend. Service is always fantastic here, very friendly and helpful. We were served by Ciara. Christmas decor is up which created a great atmosphere.

03/08/2025: This place has unique atmosphere. You can always feel where people work with passion. Smile and friendly all the time. And the iced drinks... OMG you have to try them all 😍💙

03/08/2025: I recommend this service! the coffee was amazing

11/06/2025: Great pints, friendly locals and good craic lads behind bar.

09/08/2024: I've ordered from here two times, both have been slightly disappointing. The tapioca pearls were slightly stodgy and didn't have a very fresh texture, and the drinks tasted very artificial. The service was okay, but the shop isn't a very nice place to sit in while you have your drink. Overall I feel there's a lot to be desired, 4.9/10.

30/07/2024: literally the cutest place ever!!! staff is so kind and the boba is amazing <33

28/08/2025: Really good Chinese food. Slightly different menu than other places, which is a pleasant change. Nice flavour to the food, good prices and really quick service. Had my food served piping hot in 6 mins, impressive.

28/09/2025: Visited Toss Byrne’s bar couple of times recently. Love the ‘4 for a score’ 🤪 great value great atmosphere Declan the barman on the ball attentive and friendly wish I could find a bar like this in Dublin. Recommend 100%👍 Best wishes and will return soon

20/06/2025: Very disappointed food gone very bad got a lamb dish would have needed a chainsaw 2 cut it 2 ring and be told its the suppliers fault not how it was cooked sent it bk 2 order chicken came and it was sandwich chicken 4 the prices there chargen its a joke poor food poor quality wont be ordering from here again 😢 😞

30/05/2025: Just ordered a chicken madras from this place and instead I got a turkey madras. The chef insisted it was chicken when I brought it back but, 5 members of the family tasted this and said immediately it was turkey. Before I even took a bite, I knew it wasn't chicken as it was in slabs and not the same colour as chicken. It was fairly tough too. I wouldn't recommend this place. Spend the extra few quid and get food delivered from Swords. You might fool some folk but you won't con me. Money was refunded after a brief argument. Such a shame because the sauce is really nice and spicy. Last time I'll be ordering from this place.

19/11/2025: Best Chinese I’ve had in arklow 👏🏼

28/10/2025: I’m giving them 5 stars because: 1. Food- I ordered dry noodles as a side and salt and chilli chicken wings as a starter. The wings weren’t too salty and it was crunchy. So good with sweet and chilli sauce. The dry noodles was 10/10 as it comes with beansprouts, onions and Spring onions. I think it is the best among the best side noodles I’ve ever tasted ( for a takeaway level) . Not the usual dry noodles side you normally get from any chinese takeaway. My partner ordered Chicken balls and chips. The chips were Chunky and perfectly made. It wasn’t soggy and it was crunchy that it feels so good as it melts in your tongue. Not the usual soggy chips you get from other Chinese takeaway. The chicken balls were huge and it comes with an actual chicken breast inside. 2. Service- We ate our food inside the shop itself as we decided we don’t want to eat inside the car and it’s cold outside. They gave us plates and allowed us to eat in although its take away only (really appreciate that). 3. Atmosphere- The place itself is spacious inside, they have two tables and chairs you can use when you’re waiting around. Place was organise and not too messy inside. Chefs were wearing a hair cap while cooking which I think hygienic and great! Food from Chinese takeaways can either “great “or “just okay” but this one, you should try. Good value for money plus their food is simply amazing! I’d say cooked and prepared with finesse!

07/08/2025: Fantastic experience! Food was delicious, staff excellent. Highly recommend. Probably best meal I have ever had.

05/05/2025: We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting offering - the quality of the menu and food, the service and timing was exemplary. The sommelier rounded out a first class experience at The Bishop's Buttery!
