The best restaurants

18/10/2026: Had a light meal here one evening as we waited for the rain to stop! (We were staying in the hotel). Had the soup and a vol-au-vent. Both were very, very good. I was surprised. I generally don’t expect much from pub food, but these were very tasty. I’m not a big Chip lover but these were very good. None of those skinny ‘fries’ here….real potato chips. Service good and friendly.

31/08/2026: The food was good, but the atmosphere was unusual. You had to order food at the bar, even though this wasn't indicated anywhere, and pay directly.

03/02/2025: Not a nice establishment. Very disrespectful to anyone outside their preferred group. Obviously in serious arrangements with local , untrustworthy influencer. There's other, more respected venues near by. I'll gladly discuss my experience with any member of management if they make contact. Again, avoid big time

11/10/2023: Great weekend in the Silvermine Bar, great music,, craic and drinks. Watched the match and was fair impressed with DJ Just J. Great edition to the town,

08/10/2023: I had the pleasure of experiencing the grand opening of The Silvermine, and I must say, it's a true gem in our city. Whether you're looking to unwind with a cozy cup of coffee during the day or dance the night away under the radiant lights, The Silvermine has something for everyone. It's a brilliant fusion of coffee, beer, and an extraordinary dance floor, making it a must-visit spot in the city The highlight of The Silvermine is undoubtedly its innovative dance floor, adorned with a mesmerizing light-up ceiling that transforms the entire space into a pulsating dance haven. It's a sight to behold and an experience that's hard to forget.

05/08/2024: The food was very tasty-5/5 ratings. Excellent customer service. Quick delivery and great customer servive by delivery driver as well. Would certainly recommend if you are looking for great food at a reasonable price.

26/06/2024: *** Chang’s restaurant… Avoid avoid avoid *** Myself and my mam wanted to get a Chinese for our girly night and treat ourselves. We decided to get Chang’s in Lucan village. My mam called for collection. When she called a lady answered and said there was seemingly a number of complaints and that she was black listed and hung up the phone without allowing my mam to speak back. SO RUDE. So mam called Chang’s back and a young man answered the phone and said to stop calling and again.. hung up. (We haven’t got Chang’s in well over a year) So myself and my mam went down to the restaurant to see what the problem was and to speak with a manager as this was all quite a shock to both of us. The young man (whose name I have but won’t share) standing behind the counter in a pair of Nike shorts and a T-shirt - no uniform (totally unsanitary) greeted us. After asking for a manager his reply was “em name?????” We said who were were he told us to get out that we weren’t going to be served. He was so so so rude and refused to get anybody else to speak to us. The lady who answered the phone the first time came over and said that the ‘owner’ said not to serve us.. I asked for proof of the said complaints on the system as we hadn’t order in a very long time. No manager there and they refused to give us an email or any sort of contact for their manager and we were told to go across the road to another Chinese. No customer service skills whatsoever between them. How they spoke was an absolute disgrace and disrespectful. We were treated horribly and with no backup of their accusations. I have heard so many people say the rudeness of the staff in there is awful.. but now Iv experienced it myself. I hope nobody else has to deal with customer service like this. Just avoid it to save yourself the hassle. Disgusting behaviour.

17/07/2024: Had carvery lunch in the ivy bar on Sunday, was beautiful couldn't fault it. However went for an evening meal later in the week, ordered a medium fillet steak and a Korean chicken burger, steak arrived went done close to burnt, chicken burger also burnt and missing half its toppings. Took over half an hour to come out, desperately slow. Eventually got the attention of a waiter who took it back and returned 10 minutes later to say they are making a replacement, the manager Eventually came down with a very fake apology, 25 minutes later a medium steak which was nice arrived, 55 minutes for a medium steak isn't acceptable, the staff on the till new asked had the manager mentioned a discount which she happened, so she had to check and the instruction to her was take off 4 euro off a 30 quid steak, not acceptable won't be back.

08/07/2026: Very rude old lady serving people
