Kudos (Clarion Dublin Airport), Santry

My colleague raves about Kudos, and they had the genius idea of putting a cart outside the restaurant selling lunchtime takeaway. Really reasonably priced and a choice of two things. So we decided to go for lunch to the Kudo Bar today. We were seated politely and ordered our food. Drinks came instantly. Then we waited. And waited. After 20 mins we were informed tha tone of our orders wasn't available. Poor form. After 30 minutes we asked about how long it would take and the manager apologised saying they had a rush on the kitchen. WE'd noticed hoever, no food had come out of the kitchen for quite a while. After 45 minutes we stood up to go and our food appeared, It was quite mediocre to be honest. Not very authentic and not particularly flavoursome. We wolfed it back because we were starving (and in a rush). Dashed up to pay our bill, rather than wait for the lacksadaisical staff to bring it. The bar tender bordered on rude. Slowly filling up two "urgent" glasses of tap water before going to the till. He surlily asked us which table and then handed us the bill. There were no drinks on the bill and one of the main dishes was missing. Whether this was due to the consistent incompetence we had been the victims of, or as an apologetic gesture for the poor service , food and overall experience we didn't care. We took it as an apology, paid and left. I won't be going back I'm afraid. Unless they deliver me a vastly improved Singapore Noodles as a reconciliatory gesure free of charge...
