02/10/2024: Ye love this place nice crowd I played there sat dj declan I hope I will be back there very soon thank you for having me

15/11/2024: Went in without a booking but we were served even though they were fully booked on the 2 evenings . Excellent food, excellent service, lovely environment lovely hard working helpful staff Thank you Irene & Dave

26/09/2024: Lovely clean, bright restaurant, happy , friendly staff and excellent service and - mlost importantly - the food was totally amazing! We had the crab salad ( freshest I ever tasted) and the seafood chowder ( real fish stock, wonderful flavour). No wonder the place filled up quickly with locals. Obviously THE place to eat and meet!! Thank you so much.

25/11/2024: That sounds like quite an unpleasant experience. How about this for a review: --- **Rating: ★☆☆☆☆** I visited the restaurant at 19:15 and noticed that there were 11 other diners present. Eight of them were finishing their mains, while a couple had just received their appetizers. Despite being seated quickly, things went downhill from there. It took 15 minutes for someone to take my drinks order, which then failed to arrive. I waited an additional 8-12 minutes, but it seemed like the staff were more interested in answering the phone and handling delivery orders than attending to the customers who were physically present. It felt like customers in the restaurant were an afterthought, which is not acceptable. I won't be recommending

24/11/2024: Este solía ser uno de mis lugares favoritos en Cork. Sin embargo, realmente ha ido cuesta abajo. Traje a mi pareja que estaba de visita de Noruega para la cena, super emocionado de mostrarles uno de mis lugares favoritos. Llegamos temprano por la noche y el lugar era muy tranquilo. Había un olor a aguas residuales que venía del lado del baño del restaurante que era muy fuerte, la iluminación también era muy sucia, pero bueno, estas cosas pasan al menos la comida estará buena, ¿verdad? Me equivoqué, conseguí el curry katsu y honestamente podría haberlo hecho mejor yo mismo en casa. Arroz simple con una salsa de curry triste y acuosa y un plato de col rallada sin condimentar. Compañero tenía fideos y eran como si los hubieras conseguido de un lugar chino barato, salado y salsa de soja y poco más. Estaba bastante molesto, ya que solía amar este lugar y se lo había construido a mi pareja. Desafortunadamente ha pasado de un lugar de 5 estrellas a un 2 estrellas para mí.

23/11/2024: Great selection of draught beers. However, very poor selection of Irish whiskey.

25/09/2024: Nice airy pub with a surprisingly large beer garden outback Sometimes they have Trad music and the bar staff are always very friendly. You can bring food in from outside.

21/11/2024: Very aggressive man driving 161d8854 blue bmw, who I assume is staff. Started hassling a taxi driver.

18/11/2024: I stayed at the Imperial recently, and just wanted to leave a 5 star review. From the warm reception from the staff, beautiful decor and the restaurant were amazing! Would highly recommend this hotel, very central also, and bedrooms are beautiful, will definitely come back!

15/12/2024: Plenty of car parking, cold and damp.

07/12/2024: Best Food, Staff and Location Very Reasonable and Excellent For Families with Young Kid's. 10/10

16/12/2024: a great place to grab a crispy baguette, in my case with vegetables

09/11/2024: Poor hygiene - saw woman working there sneezing into hands and handling my sandwich to me. When I told her I wanted a new one she called me a liar.

02/12/2024: Chef was very rude and acted confused when we were asking if they had turkey. The carvery was advertised as a christmas carvery online and when we asked about it he was ill-mannered saying he didn’t know what we were speaking about, made us feel stupid. He gave us both full portions when we had asked for half portions, then continued to not listen to what we both wanted, giving us whatever he decided we wanted putting stuff i had clearly not asked for. He was very abrupt and made us uncomfortable, put us off our food due to his condescending attitude and arrogant tone. Would not go back solely due to the discourteous chef.

29/11/2024: Had a reunion day of the storm, it was lovely and cosy ,real Christmas feeling ,service and food were lovely ,

07/12/2024: Took 25 minutes to get served due to lazy indian staff members

06/12/2024: Stopped in for a decaf coffee one evening, very friendly and good decaf coffee and tea ☺️

02/12/2024: Lovely family-friendly restaurant! We had lunch here recently and even with our crazy toddler it was really enjoyable. Food was great and staff were really attentive and friendly.

18/11/2024: Great service, lovely food, was attending my aunts funeral

11/11/2024: Well, this was definitely a learning experience. I ordered a large macchiato, extra hot. What I received was an 8 oz cup half full and when I asked about it, was told that large means double shot. And it was luke-warm. They were kind about it though.

22/10/2024: Excellent coffee. Very fast, efficient service. There's plenty of seating and a lovely outdoor terrace. A must for any coffee addict.

17/11/2024: Great staff. Great atmosphere. Great darts team.

23/10/2024: What a great bar, beautiful pints of Guinness open fire, playing lovely music for all ages, the crac 90 and the staff really friendly and courteous to all a real gem of a bar👍🍺🍻

21/10/2024: Great food and service. Bit pricey.

18/10/2024: Best wings in such a long long time.

24/11/2024: Extremely poor gluten-free selection for Cork standards. Most coffeeshops have several options.

22/11/2024: I dont want to share this but sharing is caring The almond croissant is so addictive and nothing beats theirs. no one has ever done the texture like they do. €3.9 but discount €0.5 if you bring in your own tupperware/place for the food like. sustainability is the way forward!
