Kafka (Dublin)Posted on 02 May 2012
Always happy with my meal when I eat here. We got chicken wings to start, and there was more than enough for 3 people. They were tangy and tasty. Then got linguine with prawns in rich tomato sauce, which was delicous, and my sister got chicken and veg skewers, while my mum opted for lamb. The service was perfect - attentive but not over-bearing and the wine was lovely. Very happy with the experience.

Seagrass of Portobello BridgePosted on 19 October 2011
I was disappointed when we visited Seagrass for the first time on Saturday for the early bird menu. I had heard good reviews. It started out well, with an ambiently-lit restaurant and friendly, attentive service. We both chose the Market soup which was deliciouly fresh and full of herbs and vegetables. It was served with a thick homemade herby bread. For our mains, my partner chose the sausages in a potato and onion gravy - all the components were completely sumberged in a thick gravy which lacked flavour and the food lacked texture. I chose baked chicken with shell pasta in a sweet onion sauce, (which in retrospect, was not a good idea). It was overly sweet, noxiously creamy and such a badly put together dish that I could only stomach a bit of it. We swallowed the above with a glass of house wine and an espresso each and the total bill came to just under €50, which is relatively good value, but the mains were unpalatable. Combine this with cheesy music and somewhat over-attentive staff (filling up our water glasses every 5 minutes) and you have a disappointing experience... reflected by my rating.
