The best restaurants in Kildare

15/12/2024: I just wanted to order online some ribs and wings. First of all, no order online, welcome to XXI century, right. Second, they were not able to accept an order for collection as there were too many people “now” and basically just hang up on me in the middle of conversation. Well, with this kind of attitude this “now” is not going to last long. Overall rating is not very high already and now you understand why.

15/12/2024: Really enjoyed my food and my initial waitress who took my order. My biggest problem was the service. Never checked up on once during my meal with my partner. Couldn’t get drinks without going to the bar or chasing staff. People on the table beside me were actively vocal about the same problem. I would’ve spent the guts of €20 extra on drinks if I didn’t have to get out of my seat to order each time during my meal. I wanted a dessert but no waiter to order off of unless I went to the bar counter, so I closed out my cheque at the bar and went elsewhere for cocktails and dessert. I’m involved in hospitality heavily and it disappoints me as the venue and quality of food is lovely. If management sees this you are loosing out on easy up-sales. Service is lacklustre unfortunately. It’s a bad sign when my partner jokes to the next table that Wetherspoons has better service

03/12/2024: Was here previously Food wasn’t great considering the price and neither was the service

17/11/2024: I am a frequent visitor over the last 10yrs+ as I live near by but it seems that it might be changing going forward as, two times in a row, food ordered was subpar. It was subpar not only in compare to what I am used to (so good quality) at Donatellos but in general it was just bad. Pizza, other than pink hue at the edges of crust, had no sauce at all, it was basically all white, 2nd time in a row, fresh chilli was replaced with flakes (that is just lazy) and it was drowning in some sort of oil when there was no ingredients that would warrant it. I should know, I eat this pizza for the past 10years! Not only it did not taste like the pizza I ordered but I did not taste like any pizza at all. It was basically "bread" with some poorly composed ingredients on top. To finish it off, cutting of pizza need improvement. It is pre-cut in this way that one has to take provided blunt table knife and cut each piece to be able to take it. It is matter of sharpening the cutting tool in the kitchen or asking chef to put more effort to it. I am sorry to write this but as they say three times lucky. I will give Donatello's one more final chance before I retire it to my never again list of restaurants. This review really is a cry for help to management to fix one of my favourites spots to eat in the neighbourhood. I will amend my scores if the food improves on my 3rd and hopeful not a final attempt.
