The best restaurants

18/10/2024: Amazing place to go for dinner. Family friendly. Reasonable priced. Good selection of food.

27/07/2024: I went to The Arlo with my husband and in-laws for a Saturday lunch. The table was dirty and extremely sticky. A smell of urine was very strong in the restaurant as well. When our drinks were brought the waiter tossed the pints on the table like she was doing us a favour. My in-laws ordered fish and chips and husband a burger. They were great. However, I ordered the pasta of the week: Carbonara What I received was an extremely over cooked fusilli pasta with fresh cream and chicken. Really? The worst carbonara I've ever had in my whole life.Well, I cannot call that dish Carbonara. Absolutely disgusting l I do not recommend this place

17/11/2024: A significant number of members here who are in receipt of publicly funded salaries seem to be remarkably tolerant of devious malfeasance causing unjust loss. They have been comprehensively briefed. They are clearly not prepared to rock the boat, and they do not respond to legitimate challenges on the matter. Integrity and independence clearly not as advertised. Isn’t it a great little country all the same?

12/05/2024: Great place for partys and nights out

20/07/2025: I asked for a mint tea and the man who works here tried to give me a liquorice and mint tea. When I asked if it was plain peppermint he said "it's a good one." I had to check the label as I knew it did not look like pure mint tea. Respectfully, liquorice is quite a strong taste and I did not want liquorice tea but I felt he was trying to get away with selling it to me. He also handled the teabag with his bare hands, which I found unhygienic.

23/06/2025: Tucked away on the southbound platform at Pearse DART station, Sobo is a little coffee shop with an old-school coffee machine that caught my eye during the morning rush. I grabbed a flat white on the go, but honestly, it wasn’t the best – a bit underwhelming in taste. Surprisingly, they also sell a few travel essentials like snacks, drinks, and even last-minute items I wouldn’t expect to find at a train station kiosk. It’s clearly designed for commuters – opens early and seems to run until late. Prices are surprisingly reasonable considering it’s in a busy train station – not overpriced at all. While it’s definitely a quick stop (no seating, grab-and-go), it’s still handy for anyone catching the train or passing through

05/07/2025: Nice ladies, friendly service but fish wasn't fresh and chips were just ok.

07/06/2025: Absolutely gorgeous chicken. 10/10

28/09/2024: I walked in a few days ago, no appointment, no waiting and was met with a very friendly lady called Ruth, she was brilliant, great experience and service, thank you Ruth!!
