29/05/2025: Good place to have breakfast or brunch. Service was nice. Vegan/vegetarian options available

07/04/2025: I wish I could rate this business higher because they are kind enough to let you order before your Kilkenny tour and pick up after. The food was very bland. I got a pulled pork and it had no flavor. Perhaps I chose the wrong dish. However, my husband's sandwich did not look too much more appetizing.

25/03/2025: Pedimos 6 sándwiches para nuestra familia para disfrutar en el parque y estaban buenos. Pedimos sándwiches de verduras y queso, así como jamón y queso y un BLT. Los sándwiches eran grandes y estaban emparejados con papas fritas y una bebida, todos estaban contentos.

15/06/2025: Delicious food with very fast service and very warm members. We went in for Early bird to taste the Tapas, meatballs, chilli con and chorizo potatoes with chilli all were very delicious. Will visit again.

12/06/2025: Went for dinner , the selection of tapas was great , food was really good. was my first time been there i have walked past it so many times really glad I went in. Will definitely go back in again.

04/06/2025: stopped by early in the morning before a race to fuel and it was a great decision! they had vegan pastries available and even a vegan pork roll. had we had more time in Kilkenny, this place would have been an easy repeat!

24/05/2025: Unfriendly staff who prefer to talk to themselves instead of the customers.

28/05/2025: A delightful cafe, lovely food served by friendly staff.

20/05/2025: Hard to know where to begin. So I will start by saying that: The staff in this place (excluding the manageress) have an absolute disgusting manner and bad attitude in general. Customer skills are almost practically non existent. The 2 female waitresses (1 Romanian, 1 Irish ) on the floor should honestly just quit working in hospitality altogether. Because they just haven't a clue how to deal with customers properly, professionally, and in an appropriate way. Avoid this place altogether if you do not wish to deal with an environment that is permeated with bad manners, insincerity, and a hostile environment where staff are concerned.

15/07/2025: Perfect central location in Kilkenny. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The building is charming. The rooms were spacious, though a bit outdated.

13/06/2025: This hotel is probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in. It is the third hotel in this group we have stayed in. The room was amazing, comfortable, beautifully designed, clean and quiet at night. I could not fault it. The breakfast was amazing. It did not have lots of variety but what was there was very good. The porridge was very nice and I often don't like porridge. The manager was friendly and supportive of new staff and all other staff. It was clear she worked closely with them and I am sure it was valued. There was all female staff serving breakfast. We had one evening meal in Ember and it is this experience which really upset me personally and translated into three stars for me. All the staff were male who worked in the evening. It was clear that one staff member needed extra support as they must have just started working at your hotel, but during our meal he just appeared left out, ignored and overlooked by the manager. I felt for him and what it must have done for his confidence. The evening manager made limited effort to support, encourage or just make him feel included. This was in direct contrast to what happened in the morning at breakfast. Everyone needs to learn and the evening experience was a totally negative one. How can he ever learn in such an environment. If I was this man who was learning I would not return but if he does it would be good if he has a better experience from now on. I don't want to witness negative treatment of staff while I am eating or anywhere else. This impacted greatly on my overall experience.

25/06/2025: We ordered the munch box and it was really good. simple yet the ingredients are fresh and the flavor was really nice. Best paired with some beers for a really nice movie night ❤️

22/05/2025: Delicious food, a little on the pricey side.

03/06/2025: ONE OF THE BEST STARBUCKS EVER!!!

05/05/2025: Nice Americano, Very hot when served.

29/06/2025: Such friendly staff always a treat to visit

22/06/2025: Great food and busy place with spacious area. Kids friendly as well.

20/06/2025: Tearoom was INCREDIBLY disappointing. The atmosphere was completely ruined due to the staffs judgemental attitude and shamelessness in complaining about making our order. In what world is it ok to complain about a customers order to other staff in front of them? Food and drink were pretty subpar as well. Would not recommend the tearoom to anyone who wants friendly service.

14/06/2025: Did not eat but only because we had a booking else where but everything looked fabulous. Best wishes to all we met ❤️

27/06/2025: hi all..really enjoyed food here .. The restaurant is back open again. It has a great selection of suhi and also oriental food..no drink licence there yet..so allowed bring your own..service excellent..we will definitely eat there again..highly recommend..

25/06/2025: Ordered noodles and rice with beef and a few other bits from LAM cuisine, absolutely incredible! The beef is honestly the best I've had in kilkenny. So soft and flavour full. Portion sizes very good making it great value for money. Highly recommend 👌
