Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 5.0 star review: I was very pleasantly surprised by this place. The service was brilliant. We were a large group pf 19 girls yet everything was prompt and always delivered with a smile. The wine was a lovely accompaniment to the food. We had the pre-theatre menu which is tremendous value. To start I had the oriental salad which was very tasty and for main I had the catch of the day, which was sea bream. This came with herb mash and was to die for. It is a lovely spot and well worth the walk up the quays.

Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 4.0 star review: Four of us dined her last night for my sisters birthday. What a lovely restaurant - and the food was excellent. I had the fish and chips, which was delicious - the batter lovely and light, my husband had the steak & he was very happy with it - the chips here are very good. It was very busy for a Monday night - which was good to see. The staff are lovely and friendly. Would recommend.

Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 4.0 star review: This is in a lovely location! Not much of an atmosphere as there weren't many ppl there, but didn't stop us enjoying the food - I had the burger which was delicious and my boyfriend had the steak - while he did enjoy it, he had asked for rare, but was served medium-well done - also didn't really think it was worth €21.

Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 4.0 star review: This place is lovely and very reasonable priced. 2 of us went and got several starter type things to share, food tasty and service very good and its fabulous if its a sunny day outside!! Only gripe is that anytime I am there, 95% of tables are reserved so you have to eat beside bar at window sills but still love it!

Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 4.0 star review: This place is great even if purely for the novelty factor of being aboard a boat. Had previously tasted platters at a party which took place on board which were off a very high standard and so decided to have some sunday lunch on board. We both opted for the thai fish cakes starter portion which were tasty. The 3 times cooked chips were ok, nice and chunky but a little greasy and I wasn't very impressed with the bread basket which consisted of 2 varieties, 1 of which I did not like. Overall though a very enjoyable afternoon and I would return

Blue River Bistro Bar @ MV Cill Airne 3.0 star review: First time to the Cill Airne on Saturday night and it is a great venue. We were in the Blue River Bistro Bar, we had reserved an area for a group dinner. The staff were very helpful when we had extra people and asked for another table. There were 17 of us in total, and there were no long waits for courses. The food was okay, I had the chowder to start, followed by the fish and chips. Some of my friends had the fish too, and it varied in quality, mine was not one of the best pieces, but it was tasty. My fiancé had the sirloin steak and hers was a bit fatty, however the other steak eaters had no complaints. Some of our group were worried that the boat may be rocking, but it was very steady on the night.
All in all, the food was reasonable, but not brilliant, the service was very good, and the venue is excellent.
