A very enjoyable meal, complemented by the very helpful and friendly staff. Albeit slightly disappointed by the dessert itself, and the selection of deserts on the early bird menu, the quality of the starter and mains was excellent. ( ps bring back the blackpudding mash) oh and sweets with the bill ;-)

Went to Cornstore on a busy Saturday with friends and it was great, we were slightly early so waited in the bar and ordered some cocktails. No sooner did we order them, than we whisked to our table and our drinks arrived a few moments later. This top service remained with us for the rest of the night as we were well looked after, weren't kept waiting and the staff couldn't of been more helpful. For dinner we shared the Goats Cheese Crostini for starter. which we all agreed was delicious and I had the hake for main, which was amazing. No dessert for any of us though, by then we were nicely full and opted to cocktails instead, which were very yummy. Especially the BBC! Heaven!

We went here for my 9 year olds birthday dinner ,even though nite time staff still made my son very welcome. The staff were really nice and were very attentive esp. to my son. The food was gorgeous couldnt fault only that I couldnt finish it large portions' thats a good thing' and to top it all they brought my son out his chocolate cake desert with a candle for his birthday and the staff sang happy birthday also. Defiently reccomend and will go back. Good food, good portions and was good value on that night .

This is an expensive restaurant considering the overall quality offered. The menu was very limited with no 2/3 course special menu available to us. Therefore you are forced to order from an overpriced menu starting at €17 for a chicken dish. There are much nicer places in cork at a fraction of the price. The staff are very nice and friendly. Where we were sitting was cramped and would be very uncomfortable if the tables we any bit closer.

We were in this restaurant for a special menu option, Thanksgiving. Even the fact that they acknowledged this foodie holiday with a special set menu impressed me as I hadn't seen anywhere else do so. The food was very good. I would go back and try their regular menu based on the experience. They also had mulled cider, which was a nice touch! They also have a cocktail menu. I imagine it would be a nice place to have a cocktails evening out. The service was good if a bit distracted.The decor is a little too dark for my tastes. Nice evening out.

Must eat here if you come to the city! I went for a meal with my parents and brother had a great time. There is something to tickle everyone's fancy and they were very accommodating towards my extremely picky brother. Wine selection is fantastic and the service is friendly. found all the staff very genuine. Keep up whatever you're doing because it's definitely working.

Myself and 9 colleagues went here for dinner on a wednesday night, it was very busy. We were sitting upstairs and could see the food being cooked. I must say it was one of the nicest meals I have eaten. 10 of us licked the plates for each starter, main course and dessert and all for 24.95e. We had chicken wings, prawn pils pils, goats cheese, pate for starters. Chicken , lamb curry, burger and more, delicious. Everyone was tasting everyone's else as all looked so tasty. Will definately be going back soon!!

Myself and two friends ordered a shared bread with dips platter – after initially bringing a delicious looking Garlic loaf to the table in error they returned after 5 mins to check if everything alright – we returned the loaf and our initial order was brought to us after a further 10 min wait. All three of us ordered the curry (2x chicken and 1 vegetarian) and all were suitably disappointed with the well presented yet extremely bland and over priced offering. Two had asked for spicy yet we each tasted the others and agreed all were equally bland and decidedly under whelming. Tables were ‘too close for comfort’ and wine was average. A very disappointing experience overall especially given the positive things we had heard to the contrary – we can only assume the thai green curry is the dud on the menu!

We had a really lovely meal here last night. Both my friends availed of the early bird set menu option which was great value, 3 courses for €24.95 & the portions were very generous for all 3 courses.There was also a number of different options for each course and some lovely seasonal specials on offer. For me personally as a veggie it ws great to have a few different options and the special of grilled halloumi was gorgeous. Overall very nice evening, we will be back!only down side slow service at the bar!

Lovely atmosphere, great wines, dishes are well presented but they don't taste as nice as they look... Overall the food is good but missing that wow factor... The setting is fabulous.... We were there on a sunny Saturday afternoon and sat outside... We shared prawns pil pil to start which was very tasty although the prawns themselves could have been of a better quality... I had a chicken wrap which was very tasty and my partner had the chicken caesar salad which rather surprisingly came with a blue cheese dressing! The staff are lovely and it is a very busy restaurant... An enjoyable place for lunch...

Extremely impressed!!!! Finding it very hard to fault this restaurant-everything from the service to the food to the layout and atmosphere of the restaurant was exceptionally good! Will most definitely be returning!!!

I went to the cornstore with a friend and her family for an evening meal. had the cornstore chicken wings for starter. they were a bit spicy and normally i hate spicy food but they were delicious! will definitely be getting them again! got the oven roast salmon for main and the flourless chocolate gateau for dessert. what an amazing dessert! very rich and chocolatey! definitely one for the chocolate lovers! excellent food, great atmosphere.and service. one of my favourite places to eat.

I went to the Cornstore with some friends for our post Christmas get together. I love the cocktails, they are some of the best around! We were offered the set menu or the A La Carte, we all went for the A La Carte. The veggie in our group had a lovely meal of ravioli. I had the burger which was cooked perfectly and I love how it is served on a wooden board! Another friend had steak which she liked. We were sitting near the back and one of the girls was in a bit of a draught which was a bit annoying but it was soon forgotten with the cocktails! The service was great, really attentive and added to the overall experience.

Myself and a friend ate here last week and I must say it was fantastic. From the moment we walked in the door, had a few cocktails at the bar which were great. Shared a wonderful mussel starter followed by steak for mains, cooked perfectly served with fabulous sides. Great atmosphere and staff very attentive, topping up our wine when needed. We will definately be back!!!

Ordered the home-made burger was not impressed at all with it. I could have went to Mc Donald's and got the same satisfaction from a meal. The tables are cramped and I found the atmosphere to be unpleasant. The waiter wasn't very friendly. Overall I would't recommend the place. Definitely wouldn't recommend the place for young couples as we got the feeling we weren't wanted here!!

I have lunch here quite often as I work nearby. So the biggest compliment I can give this place is that I often go back to eat here at night. The food is exceptional. The managment and staff polite and efficent. They hold great food and wine tasting nights which I always go to. My girlfriends and I usual have all our meals out here as we love their cocktails.

The Cornstore, one of Cork’s culinary hotspots, has turned the delightful American tradition of Thanksgiving into an annual event. Starters included Quail terrine with a marinated boiled quail egg and spiced plum and grape chutney, Roast orange sweet potato soup with nutmeg froth or Flaked organic hand cured salmon (my choice), cherry tomato, avocado salad with lime and coriander dressing. This was followed by free range East Ferry roast turkey roulade wrapped in Kanturk pancetta, chestnut, prune, apricot and parsley with confit of the leg rissole and port jus. I thoroughly enjoyed that plateful. And all around me, diners were tucking into the turkey plus the other main dishes: Sea Bass with pumpkin fritters, okra grilled baby corn and carrot, orange and cardamom emulsion or Forest mushroom, toasted nuts and brown bread dumpling with roast crisp parsnips wilted spinach and clove cream sauce. All mains were served with creamed potato, red cabbage, braised carrots and Brussels sprouts. There were a number of mouth-watering desserts on the menu, including baked spiced pumpkin cheesecake with caramel ice cream, or Pecan nut, pear and Crozier blue cheese tart with local double cream. My choice here was Brandied cherry and apple wrapped with puff pastry and served with whipped cream and it was absolutely gorgeous and I hope it becomes a regular on the Cornstore menu.

If you want romance then sit downstairs where it's quite dark but be prepared to share your romance with the table next to you, too close!! Have a warm drink as when that front door is open you are sitting in a wind tunnel. Upstairs is alot louder & brighter, more casual feel. If you arrived with children I'ld imagined you would be rushed upstairs out of sight. The food is really nice, lovely menu but it is expensive. The staff are friendly & welcoming. I would like to go back to try more dishes but can't see it happening

The food is so tasty price is too dear!!!! prawns pil pil so sweet and spicy prawn curry better then one you would get out of the chinese! It is way over priced!!

It was our first time in this restaurant, 4 of us booked for New Years eve. There was a warm christmasy atmosphere in there, very busy but for the night that it was we didnt mind. For my starter i had the crab cakes, they were on a bed of chopped mangos, really tasty, if i had one comment to make on them it would be the green salad i got with them was bone dry, could have used dressing. For my main i had the venison, medium rare on a bed of sweet beetroot and Kale, saffron potatoes, it was delicious, the venison was cooked to perfection and chocolate cake with cream for desert. we were really happy with our food. The staff did forget about us once or twice we had to wave a good few times for attention, i suppose it was new years, but the food more then made up for it when it arrived.Very reasonably priced too, We'll definitely be returning

I was at a work xmas party here last night. great buzz around the place but i did find it a bit too busy as the tables were very near each other and cramped. food was very nice i had a lovely steak.

Not bad, but there are better places to go, the staff where friendly, and the service was good.

Girlie night out here last friday evening. As ever very busy and loud. 6/7 of us sitting down for a bite, We shared the loaf of bread and dips, and it was good. The wine was easy drinking and plenty flowing. The mains were, fine! The red mullet was fab and served witha lovely linguine. The sea bass was lovely. The thai curry was tasty enoughbut a huge portion. The risotto with langostine was delicious if a little too much bite for me! The veggie wild mushroom/ brownbread cake was interesting and although looked small in comparison to all the other plates was really filling. Unfortunetly my pork belly was burned, it was retrurned to teh kitchen and a new one brought out promptly, nothing offered but an apology! The deserts were not as hectic, the rhurbarb compte with lemon posset was tasty but lacked a finesse, served in a jam jar! The Eton mess was really heavy, but not as heavy as the chocolate cake, delicious. Overall the place has a great buzz but.. maybe too much, the staff are lovely when you have their attention,not often. Great spot for a girls night out.. not the place for intimacy!

Went here last weekend with 4 others. We went for the "Dine in Cork" Menu. The selection was excellent. We had the four courses and each was better than the last. The desert "Harvard Mess" was to die for. We were seated at the back of the upstairs section - it was lovely and secluded. The restaurant was packed. Our waitress was a cheerful happy lady who really looked after us. The service was a tad slow but it suited us. We spent around 2.5 hours there chatting, eating & drinking. We left feeling full and well satisfied. We will def. be back.

We were here with a work group of friends 7 of us. Suited us perfect as there was a great buzz in there. it was my second time there but it was the others first visit & all said they will return. Great selection on the menu, with variety of fish / meat dishes. I had the thai green curry and I loved it. the others had fish dishes & chicken dishes, there was all good comments about the food. Vg value also. The staff r really helpful also. lovely decor, wines and cocktails. will be back again

Just like Suppleturtle82 Im in shock over the bad reviews ive just been reading! Im almost feeling defensive about it all as the Cornstore is my ultimate place to dine! You cant even argue the value for money, with 3 courses for 25euro with such quality of food preperation! I find the service is always high standard, especially compared to most restaurants in the city! What ive noticed is people will only write a review if its negative, mainly, so there must be thousands of very happy customers out there who will keep coming back just like me!!!! :D

been here a couple of times in the last few months and thoroughly enjoyed it each time. just read a few bad reviews of the place there and cant identify with the comments at all. great value set menu with great choices and gorgeous food. a low point was the thai green curry - as another reviewer said, it was watery and i had maybe a tablespoon full of sorry looking veg in the whole bowl. everything else ive ordered or tasted here has been great and staff very helpful. lovely decor, wines and cocktails and love the little jars of heinz ketchup and mayo - very retro! will be back again and again for the value and quality - my top cork pick at the moment

Disaster! Made booking a week in advance through menupages but when we got there I was asked numerous questions which were repeated - what time is your booking, how big is your party, what is your full name. We were seated and picked our starters and mains. Chicken wings to start which were fine but a bowl of water would be nice to clean your hands. Small wipes were provided. Main course was a disaster. I had beef medallins which were nice but my friend had thai curry which she did not like at all. It was very watery. We asked for a side plate so she could take some of the chicken out to eat. No staff member came near us for another 20 minutes to take our full plates away or ask if we wanted anything else.We ordered dessert to fill my friend up. When we asked for the bill three bills were brought before our bill was actually given to us! Overall really bad service and just an awful night out.

We arrived at approx 8.20 pm & ordered a bottle of wine. The wine was so warm we had to put ice-cubes in the glass to cool it down. We brought this to the attention of the server. He suggested it was either under a spot light or next to a fan. The bottle itself was very warm to touch. We asked could we have a ice bucket to cool it the wine down. First time I’ve ever had to do this with a bottle of red wine! We then placed our orders shortly after & waited... & waited .... We noticed the service seemed to be very slow & I said something to my husband about being starved. It was clear to see that the waiter overheard what I said and rushed over to the system on which the orders are processed. He approached our table to say that our orders had been lost and not in fact placed at all. He asked could he take our orders again. We replaced our orders. The starters arrived at approx 9.50 pm. We were starved! The mains followed soon after. Two steaks were part of the order. One steak was order to be well done. The second steak was request to be rare to medium and closer to the rare side. Both steaks arrived exactly the same, medium & cold. Neither my husband nor our guest wanted to return the steaks to the kitchen, as it was so late in the evening. It would also have been difficult to turn a medium steak into a rare one! Ladies toilets: While one cubicle seemed to be out of action, the other was completely clogged up, with the flush handle not working. Another customer was waiting for the toilet. When I vacated the cubicle, I warned her of the state of it & she joked that it was like being at a music festival. I’ve been to music festival with better port-a-loo facilities!

Great meal out! Met up with a friend I hadn't seen in ages at The Cornstore. We both had pasta dishes and a side house salad. My penne was cooked to perfection and the portion size was perfect. The decor is tasteful. It's a huge place and it did get loud after a while but the waitstaff was happy for us to sit and chat over coffee for hours. Is an excellent place to meet friends for good food.

My husband and I went to the cornstore for lunch. We had been there before at night and it was excellent. The menu was extensive, so plenty of choice. We were shown to a table immediately and given the menu. Our order was taken once we appeared to be finished with the menu and water was brought to our table immediately. The waiter was very helpful when taking our order, explaining how the dishes are served. He also explained that the starter I chose was very large and filling (breads with hummus, pesto and tapenade) and would be too much with a heavy main course. He said he would wait to take my order for a main course until I saw what I was getting. I took his word for this and it was just as well! Lots of beautiful breads arrived with little dishes of hummus, pesto and tapenade. The flavours were outstanding. My husband had a caesar salad and said it was lovely. He followed this with the oven baked cod which he thought was delicious and cooked beautifully.We shared an excellent chocolate cake and we both had coffee which was very good. The service was friendly, efficient and very helpful. The atmosphere was good as the restaurant was busy. I found it a little on the dark side because the tables nearer to the windows were taken. However, it was a lovely lunch. Good value for money, and we will be back.

very good atmosphere - excellent food - the cocktail could be stronger but the food is very good .

Brought some American visitors, had a 7.30 reservation and were seated right away, 3 courses for €25 was excellent value and quite a varied menu. Food was excellent, waiter asked if I wanted chicken in my Thai Green Curry which I availed of. Restaurant was extremely busy and we did not emerge until 10.45, that was 3 hours for 3 courses, service was slow but understandable given the crowd, good experience and would recommend.

Absolutely Fabulous. We were a group of 14 ladies and they had pre arranged a set menu for us. At €35 a head it was really good value. Prawns Pil Pil were gorgeous - just perfectly cooked, however the star of the show was the goats cheese starter. Beautifully cooked and presented. The main course choices included sirlion steak, a ravioli and a chicken dish along with pork belly. I had the oven roast cod on a white bean, bacon and fennel cassoulet. delicious and really well balanced. Flourless chocolate cake for dessert was beautiful along with a very popular mixed berry eton mess. Overall a really great dining experience and i would highly recommend it.

We went there on last Wednesday for first time and overall it was very good.We started with a drink in the bar and really enjoy it.I got some beer recommended by experienced barman.Menu was great value and everything was perfect except my gnocchi.There was definitelly too much basil in it.We left stuffed and satisfied with this restaurant.

I had been to the Cornstore before for both lunch and dinner but I think that this was definitely my most enjoyable visit. My boyfriend and I arrived to the very busy restaurant at 8pm on a Saturday night with no reservation and therefore didn’t expect to be accommodated. However, the friendly and efficient host promised us a table within 30 min and so we had a drink at the very busy bar. After 40 min we were seated upstairs by the noisy kitchen area, which is usually my least favourite area to sit in. However, the service and the food made up for this. We shared a starter of chicken wings with blue cheese dip (€7.95) that was lovely. I had the oven-baked cod with white bean, fennel and crisp bacon cassoulte (€19.95) and a side dish of mash (€2.95) that was absolutely delicious! My boyfriend chose the fish special of the night (€24.95) and it was fantastic. Our Czech waiter was very funny and helped us select a good wine to accompany our fish. He was very attentive without being overly so. We were so full after our main that we finished with an expresso shot. The visit was highly enjoyable and the Cornstore is definitely one of the top restaurants in Cork in my esteem!

Its a real treat coming to this place to eat. The atmosphere was great for a date for me and my fiance. It was lunch time but still, it felt as if we were having dinner. The service is impeccable as always! Friendly, efficient and attentive. Always a tippable service! The food hit the spot. I'm a vegetarian and even though there wasn't a lot on offer for me, I got the curry and it was BEAUTIFUL! My other half got the burger and said it was perfect. Always a good sign when they can satisfy any palate! The value was great too. I think we paid about €25 for 2 mains and 2 drinks with tea and coffee. The evening time is a little bit on the pricy side but I have eaten there before a while back for dinner and it was the same as if I was eating there for lunch. Well done!

Both the pork belly and thai green chicken curry are a hit with me and my family! Great atmosphere especially at the weekends when its a bit busier!Would agree with previous reviewer that the tables are a bit close togethere so it might not be the best place for a romantic meal!

Great atmosphere and lovely food. All the staff were friendly and very efficient. Good value early bird menu. Only downside is that the tables are quite close together

A beautiful restaurant in the "OLD DISTRICT of CORK", having a varied menu and a good choice of wine-by the glass or bottle. I had the Sirloin Steak and I must say it was one of the nicest i have eaten in a restaurant! the others had a nice fish-bream and a vegetarian option for third. Prices were reasonable and is within walking distance from the centre of Cork City. A good choice.

Been there twice now and have had the same experience both times. Over priced, bad quality food and service that leaves something to be desired. On the previous occasion a party of 15 ate there, we all ordered our food at the same time but half of the dishes arrived some 30-40 minutes later and 2 of the steaks weren't cooked to the desired temperature. I had the Thai Curry which was satisfactory but not great. Needless to say, none of us will be returning.

Fantastic value. The food is great and so is the atmosphere. I feel like they do not loose quality when they serve the early bird. I would recommend it to anyone. Very pleased with our dinner for only 25.00 great portions and really delicious.

Ate here on saturday night for my mothers birthday. Very nice food, the place was hopping busy, which is always a good sign of a place I think. Had steaks and thai green curries - they were very nice. Orders for steaks were slightly wrong but quickly rectified. Very enjoyable meal, good wine and good service. Would recommend.

Have eaten here on a number of occassions. Its a good spot for bigger parties but can be quiet noisy and busy if you're looking for somewhere a bit quieter! The menu doesn't have a lot of options but the Thai Green curry and the steaks here are well worth a try!

It's a nice place for a meal but nothing special. You won't be disappointed but won't be raving about the place either.

We were sat in front of the toilet door, where there were people passing every 2 minutes and a draft coming from the door opening and closing all the time. There were other seats available, so we thought this was a little unfair. For starter, one of us had soup and there was too much rocket in it. Another one of us had the chicken wings and they were gorgeous. They had a sweet and spicy sauce on them, and were really really nice. For dinner, we both had the same. A rib eye steak. one cooked medium rare. one cooked medium well. the medium rare was very dry, which leads us to believe that it was left go cool and heated up under a hot plate. There was also way too much fat on the steak. When the waitress, who seemed to be the floor manager, took our order, she didnt ask what side or sauce we wanted with our steak, so we both received the mashed potato with beetroot sauce. Service by the waitress we were originally given, was great throughout the evening, but it took too long for our food to arrive. Dessert was sticky toffee pudding, which was gorgeous. i would definitely recommend getting this as a dessert.

I went to dinner in The Cornstore last night with three friends. The atmosphere was great, the waiter was really nice and very helpful. We had the garlic bread to start which was lovely, it was actually a half loaf of bread with garlic oil for dipping, which was different, but lovely. Then I had the burger, which would have been lovely but there was a homemade relish on it which I didnt like. I like normal relish so I didnt even think about asking for the burger without it but I wish I had now. The king prawn curry and veggie gnocchi got great reviews from the girls aswell. Overall great place aswell though, nice little restaurant.

Visited the cornstore for a birthday. Didn't have the early bird menu although they had very good deals with wines on. The mussels were a great starter, served in a cute wok. I had lobster and prawn risotto as a main which was pure indulgence. The sweet toffee pudding was heavenly as a dessert! Service was excellent as well despite it being very busy for a Monday night.

I went late on Sunday evening, wasn't too many people ther, which i prefer. Service was quick. We availed of the Early bird which is all day sunday, €25 for 3 courses. Not enought to decide from, but i had prawns pil pil, which wasnt great. However my boyfriend had the goats cheese salad, which was amazing! And the rib-eye steak was gorgeous too, chips fantastic! They brought out our tea and coffee before our desert, which was a bit silly, but deserts were lovely. Id go again to try the mussels and lobster!!!!

Went there with my boyfriend and his family and were seated near door on a very cold night. Most of us chose the 3 course or 2 course special. Still very expensive though.There was a large group behind one of us so he found it hard to hear when talking. The service was good and the food was excellent.

SHOCKING!!!! very disappointed, i heard such good things and was really looking forward to my evening, however was greeted by some silly man shaking cocktails....very in my face! waited twenty minutes for our table which we had booked, sat for another 15minutes before our waiter even came over to greet us, nothing but waiting for all courses food VERY over rated, i had a burger.....which i could have got in the likes of a fast food outlet, which was precooked!!!!!!!! and worse again risotto came out cold and we then waited 10 minutes for it to be fixed!!!! i just dont understand the reviews ive read, if my meal was anything to go by....i understand why well known high street burger restaurants are so busy!

Have been a couple of times, both times the food was great - the duck confit with lentils is really delicious. Service was ok, not the friendliest, but being a group on a Saturday night nothing really to fault as they we were really busy. The wine list is disproportionatly expensive in comparison to meal prices for me. The cheapest wines come in at just under 30eu then right up to almost 40eu straight after, but mains are all around the 25eu mark so that put me off a bit. Had drinks before and after in the bar, good atmosphere and well made cocktails. Having a DJ was nice after the meal, but if I still had been having dinner with a DJ behind me, or asked to move (after 10 most people downstairs were only having drinks all the eating was upstairs) would have annoyed me. If they sort out the wine list would make this restaurant really great.

This is a lovely place with a really nice atmospehere, and the service was very good - the staff are very friendly. The night I was there was extra busy with xmas parties which meant that we had to wait about half an hour for our table. The menu was nice, but I was a bit dissapointed with the overall quality of the meal. We shared the chicken satay starter and while the peanut sauce was lovely the chicken was very dry. I had the pork belly which wasnt very crisp on top nor the meat very tender. The sirlion was undercooked and the ribeye was over cooked, which was annoying. I would try this resturant again, maybe on a quietier night.

I have been to the cornstore on many occasions and always find it a great restaurant. I have been there with just my husband, with friends and with family and love it. the burgers are always gorgeous and the steaks are fab. i highly recommend this restautant!

I've had lunch here twice now, & both times really enjoyed it. This place has a really lovely relaxed atmosphere. The first time I went with two friends. Only two of us ordered mains, and one just had a starter. The service was excellent and the food really tasty. Music wasn't too loud, so we were able to chat. We ended up ordering cocktails (really good) and staying for over an hour. We never felt rushed to leave by the staff. I'm going again next week for my work Christmas dinner and really looking forward to it.

Went here last saturday night, 18 of us! Fab place, service was excellent, the place was buzzing! It was jointed and I thought o no we are going to be waiting for ages for our food but service was quick and everthing was spot on! I thought food was gorgeous, ordered from the set menu, everyone was pleased and we had a great night. Would defintely come back, great lively place with a fab atmosphere. The only gripe is that there should be toilets upstairs as well!

if a restaurant can be this good on the saturday biggest weekend of the ;year, it's a winner. i had the beetroot and crozier blue salad. crozier blue is my favourite cheese and its the first time i saw it on the menu. off to a good start. as a main i got the pork belly. it was delicous and not fatty. the mash was divine also. everybody else at my table was happy with what they ordered too. great service too. Go!

A group of us celebrated a birthday here on Saturday. The atmosphere and surrounding are lovely in general except due to the heavy rain there were pots and pans lined along behind our table to catch any leaks and towels everywhere. Fair enough but our attention was not drawn to it and my friends who arrived late did not notice so her suede bag was destroyed. Most were happy with their starters. I have nothing great to say about the Goats Cheese Crostini unfortunately. The bread was soggy not crusty and the cheese was over heated. My pasta main course was tasty but way too oily. I mean a big pool of oil in the bowl. So much for trying to pick a healthy option. Once again, the bread served with it was very soggy. A few of my friends thought their steaks were quite tough. Desserts and cocktails we very good. Have mixed feelings about this place. May try it again down the line.

Very good restaurant with a nice bar as well. Food is of a very good standard compared to other restaurants which can charge more. Have eaten there twice, on the weekend and during the week, service and atmosphere a major plus on both nights. Would def recommend.

Been here twice and had lovely meals each time. Also found the service to be among the best in Cork. The only gripe I had was the fact I asked for some more bread with my soup and ended up being charged an extra 3 euro for three slices!

i'v heard so many mixed reviews about the cornstore, so i went myself with 2 of my friends and oh boy were we packed in the next table was only inches away so it looked as if we were part of a larger group, i had the surf & turf rare, the turf part was so tuff i needed a chainsaw & the surf was so small the poor lobster should have been thrown back in to the sea not very good value for ur money, one of my friends had the burger, tasteless, and one had the steak sandwich both the burger bun and the roll the steak was in were stale.

have only been here once but definitely want to go back! staff were lovely, food is good, desserts were delicious and the cocktails were divine!! the interior is contemporary and there was a great atmosphere on the night in question. thumbs up!

I went to the Cornstore last Friday night and I was well impressed by it. The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Went here for Lunch on Paddy's Day. The food was very nice, the price was decent and the service was friendly. However, the best part about the experience was the restaurant itself, the whole setting and decor was great and really inviting. Really enjoyed myself and will definitely go back again, even if it was just for a few drinks.

They changed the menu recently so there isnt much choice now but they do fantastic rib eye here. Perfectly cooked!

The bar in this place is great & the staff are very nice but every thing else is bad.

I found the menu very limited. If you are veggie or like simple food this is not the place for you! I thought the starters were very over priced. One of the starters was a prawn cocktail which was priced at 12.50. For a starter! Wasn't impressed with this place!

Lovely restaurant with beautiful food. I had the pan fried cod which was delicious and the creme brulee for dessert which was gorgeous. I was with 3 friends, we all tried a different dish and everybody enjoyed what they ordered. Nice atmosphere, would be happy to recommend and will definitely be going back again.

This place is class. The menu covers all tastes, the food is excellent and well priced and the staff are a selling point. They are friendly, courteous and efficient. Quickly becoming a favorite with Corkonians.
