The best restaurants

29/10/2024: The woman who greeted us for our 3.30pm booking sloped around the place with a sour puss on her and made us feel like we were an inconvenience. She went off to check table when I gave the name, telling us to wait there. We waited and as she was taking a bit of time chatted amongst ourselves, my daughter then alerted me to the woman standing impatiently in the middle of the restaurant , again with sour puss firmly fixed on and we followed dutifully. She put the menus on our table and once again sloped off with not so much as enjoy your meal or would you like some water or a drink. We were then left sat there for 15 mins and no one came near us. I tried to catch waiters attention a few times but they were just wandering around in a daze avoiding eye contact. We eventually stood up and walked past 2 waitresses who never acknowledged us. They also looked miserable. Then I passed the woman who sat us and she said nothing so I turned back and asked her if she was even bothered that we were leaving and all I got was a scowl and an abrupt why? whats wrong? Comment. I could do nothing but shake my head and vow never to return. ( not that they would be bothered ) 😅 If she is the manager I can see why the staff are miserable and not bothered either.

05/09/2024: The menu and food really hit a the high notes of what was an exceptional dinner. Between very imaginative starters and outstanding flavours of our mains we were treated like new best friends by all the staff.

14/07/2024: First off I have to say I am really glad i booked this restaurant for the last night of my stay at druids glen as it was a special experience. First off service was excellent everything you would expect from a 2 AA Rosette experience. Friendly staff, tables set up as you would expect right down to changing the cutlary out for fish specific cutlary nice touches. Quality of food again everything one would expect from a Double AA Rosette in terms of quality, freshness and localness of ingrediants in the main. There were even curious items like my starter which was squid croquettes with blue cheese. Two things you wouldnt necessarily put together in same sentence but surprisingly worked. Similarly with the squash ravoli and monkfish dish again i would have naturally assumed the squash would be to sweet but it worked. Other guests dishes also excellent. Desserts were tasty although I would have thought rum baba might have been more syrupy based on previous I have had. Wine selection excellent and the desert wine a curious but enjoyable drop. One minor quibble which i found hard to figure was how some tables got a small dish of petit fuors whilst waiting to pay bill but i didnt and also another table got a pallate clenser sorbet before starting there meal. This was slightly confusing, was there a specific price treshold one needed to spend to get such perks because there seemed to be no such set rule. Overall a very nice special experience, everything you would expect and priced right not withstanding the confusing scenario with petit fuors and pallate clenser.

02/08/2024: What has happened to your pizzas? Have been eating in your restaurant and getting takeaways for years. This time was terrible. The pizza was awful, practically raw. We were so disappointed.

23/08/2024: Great quality food and drinks. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. It could do with redecorating, but overall it is a fabulous place

19/05/2024: The treatment was horrible, they were abusive.

07/07/2024: Never again again! Family over from England so wondering was there an ulterior motive? Sunday afternoon and manager refused two out of group because one had tracksuit bottoms on!? Meanwhile there's a hurling match on and every second person is wearing shorts,tracksuits jeans etc!? Thanks for the embarrassment and selective discrimination! Lost a long term customer.

07/07/2024: Rude arrogant bar staff , don't go here , plenty of other nice pubs in swords , we will never be back with how we were treated
