29/07/2024: Unfortunately, we had an unpleasant experience in a Reardons bub/restaurant that we have loved the times we decided to go for a delicious lunch around the Lough Gur. We had booked a table at this restaurant last weekend for our son's 4th birthday. We were two families there. We ordered delicious food, which it was. Both fathers ordered two beers each during the lunch. The mothers each had a glass of wine. The children were also happy with the meal. Everything was fine. We paid almost €200 for this lunch. This morning looking in the receipt we discovered that two more beers were added to our bill due to some possible mistake. Everything is fine, everyone makes mistakes! ...Tonight, after work, he decided to go to a restaurant on the way home and talk about this mistake. When he arrived at the pub and explained the misunderstanding of the bill to the waitress which was the same who looked after us on the day, he was dismissed by saying that the mistake should have been discussed on particular day. Of course, he apologized and said that because of the party he didn't pay attention right away and that's why he now wanted to talk to the manager and explain the situation. Waited more than 10 minutes, the manager didn't come out to talk and the situation showed that she did not want to come out at all. Of course, no one dies because of €10.60, but a very unpleasant feeling arose from the way the dialogue with customers is conducted and the fact that this situation was completely ignored by the management. It's a shame that customers are treated like that, especially when they leave almost €200. Unfortunately this was our last time spending any money in this pub/restaurant JUST BECAUSE OF THE ATTITUDE. Check your bills twice before you leave this place guys.

03/07/2024: People raved about this Ginzeng. Tried ordering orange chicken, lady said they had none today. Opted for the king prawns (I think salt & pepper?) at €10.00. Asked if it came with rice - yes, for another €5.00. Ditched the rice idea. They called me to the counter when my prawns (shrimp, actually) were ready Five of them. FIVE prawns on a bed of huge slices of green pepper and onion, with a few dots of chillies. Prawns were crunchy - not the batter, the actual prawns - and I couln't eat partially-cooked green pepper and onion. Took my tray (with the serving dish still full of "veg") to the counter when I was done, and was told to take it to a stand outside another restaurant. I pointed out that maybe a staff member could take it, and maybe show the chef how much of the meal was still in the dish. "No, you take it over there." Which I did - and I will remain "over there" next time I'm at Liffey Valley. Shocking prices, unexpectedly disappointing food. 1 out of 5, only because this page won't let me put 0.5.

08/03/2024: The Square Tallaght. Staff unfriendly, rude and unaccomadating. I got A four item box to sit in I requesting a little more curry sauce over my meal. I was advised if I wanted more I would have to for the curry sauce. Absolutely shocking. Zero customer service.

18/08/2024: We had amazing waitress Marta who looked after us. She is very nice and friendly. We enjoyed talking with her. Good choice of food, big portions. I could give 5 stars unfortunately this place was full at the beginning and we spend 2 hours walking around the hotel before we could get in. There are other areas in the hotel with bar which should be opened for guests so they could enjoy time there. Or at least there should be some lounge area where people’s could get a coffee and sit on couch and relax- we’ve seen some places like that but we had no idea if we could even sit there. Thanks to Marta our bad first impression have changed.

12/08/2024: Overall this is a very nice dining experience. As the weather was amazing, we chose to dine outside on the extensive terrace. Staff led us to the table and we were a bit abandoned. Gavin went inside to order the first drink and get some menus. It was exceptionally busy given the weather and there was a staff wedding at the same time. There was live music. He was great with a mix of songs that were real crowd pleasers. Once we had placed our dinner order, the staff were highly attentive. The food was very good arriving quite quickly. it was significantly better food than your average bar. We had chicken tacos and BBQ pork ribs. Both dishes were excellent. For dessert we shared the apple pie. I have to admit the dessert was underwhelming when it arrived but Oh MY! it was so good. And just the right size. We would definitely eat here again if in the area.
