Market LanePosted on 01 March 2011
Nice place and the waiter we got was just second to none this guy was great and we commented to the Manager how good he was thats how impressed we were with the service he provided.
They do a nice steak and they have nice wine but it is a little pricey.
I have been there for their €10 lunch which is have a big lovely sandwich and a freshly homemade bowl of soup a drink and a very small chocolate compot but over all for that price its quite nice.
Its a nice place to go

Milano (Cork)Posted on 01 March 2011
This place is good its well set out it has a nice ambiance. The staff are good and the service is pretty good.
The pizza is really what you go to eat here and the garlic bread with cheese. The other pasta dishes don't really do it for me.
What is great is that if you log on to their website and sign up every now and then they e-mail you meal offers.
I have been here a few times and this particular restaurant in the chain is pretty good

Bella Cafe - MallowPosted on 25 February 2011
I was a bit disappointed with this place. I really thought finally Mallow had a nice Italian place to go to.
I had pasta with chicken recommended by the waitress unfortunately It was really really really bad bad bad bad. It was past with chicken and sauce that tasted like they had poured a can of soup on.
My husband had a pizza and the ham on it was really salty and really it wasn't very pleasant so overall quite disappointing.

Boomerang Cafe & Restaurant - ClosedPosted on 25 February 2011
This premises has changed hands a few times and this time it is a bit more variety on the menu.
The service was fine and the staff seemed nice. It was my first time eating in this new place and I had a sort of mild indian curry it was nice but lacked some sort of flavour. It seemed to be freshly cooked but just lacking something.
But not the worst meal I've had i would go again.

Springfort Hall HotelPosted on 25 February 2011
I have been here a few times the surrounding are lovely but I have to say that still some of the male staff I find don't write the orders down and this can lead to errors in the order.
I recently had the past with ricotta cheese tasty but over priced and a very small portion I left hungry. Overall portions are small I think in future I would only really go there for a dessert and coffee as there desserts are nice.

Luigi Malones RestaurantPosted on 25 November 2009
I have been to this restaurant a few times and in general its been fine. But I have to say my husband and I were very disapointed on this occassion. The staff are nice which is great but we asked for two medium to well done steaks. My husbands steak was fine but mine as they was still alive, onions undercooked and mushrooms uninteresting. I sent it back knowing probably that I wouldnt get a new steak but the same steak put back in the pan. I got exactly that the steak was now overdone and the chips over done. i ate it because if I complained and demanded a new steak I would be waiting another 20 minutes. We also asked for a coke it arrived nearly 10 minutes later by which time we were ready to leave. Its disapointing that such a usually nice restaurant can't get basic steak and chips right. Its a pity as I've always said nice things about this place but on this occassion I can't really say great things.

Tante ZoesPosted on 03 September 2008
Personally I think its overrated. theres good advertising of its soul food etc. but its overrated. I ate there once and it was enough food wasn't that tasty and the starter was bland and dry. The main course was overly spiced.

Johnnie Fox's PubPosted on 29 August 2008
This is a pub for tourists no bones about it. Tourists love it I know Ive brought a few of my foreign friends here. As for quality of food its average and its expensive so I don't rate it. I will say that my friend left her bag outside and a very honest person handed it into the bar I don't think that would happen in the City. Any its ok for pint and to show your friend around it

Kopi CafePosted on 28 August 2008
Ok yep I give this place the big big big thumbs down. Ive been here a few times its ok for coffee not much else. They always get the order wrong they never have enough staff on and its seriously overpriced probably because its blarney.
Recently they have started opening a couple of nights a week, i have to say the meal i got was dissmal give up the day job and the night job and get a new career i say to the chef. Its good for coffee or a hot chocolate thats it im afraid

Eddie Rockets (Blackpool)Posted on 26 August 2008
I have tried this place a few times. I find portions small, service is non exsistant, Eddies is pricy for what it is. They constantly get the orders wrong. I also really dislike that they charge you for grilled onions on a chicken burger, Im not one for salad so Ive saved them money by not asking for salad and they charge me for the onions which I think is mean. I gave up using the music machine they have as the songs I pick never seem to play. I am afraid its a big thumbs down.

Eddie Rockets (Blackash)Posted on 26 August 2008
Ok when Eddie ROckets first came to Ireland it was damn good huge burgers big portions good happy service this aint so anymore. This particular Eddie Rockets has a slow service. I find Eddies is expensive for what you get they have definately cut down the portions. The only thing I can say is that they cook the stuff better here then they do in Blackpool Cork.

I brought some of my tourist friends here. Nice clean environment. Good staff, quick friendly. My friends had the fish in beer batter and chips it looked plentyful and nice they said it tasted really good. I had the most delicious homemade veg soup and brown bread it was really really good just like my mums and that is saying something (just don't tell my mum i said that). Its good. make sure you have the battered fish and the soup

Barrys of DouglasPosted on 22 August 2008
Well I used to go here alot when I lived near Douglas. They had this starter which was noodles and little pieces of duck and it was beautiful and they had these real oven with a little drizzle of oil proper home thick cut chips and sometimes good steak. But they changed the menu. Took the noodles off and the home chips and its gone a little down hill. The last three times i have gone we have had to complain about the steak being cooked wrong and the slow service. Its a shame it had something at one stage but now its overpriced and just not good enough.

Ristorante RossiniPosted on 21 August 2008
Ok
Ive been here several times and the only reason I go back is because of the food. It really is great. But be warned the service is brutal and the waiting time very long make sure your not in a hurry. The wine sometimes is well chilled but more often its not and they quite often run out of ice and have to run over to the pub accross the road.
One time i was a little peeved when they assumed that the change of over 10 euros was their tip when I never implied that. Food is really really great its just a great shame about the rest.

Muskerry ArmsPosted on 21 August 2008
I have eaten here on a number of occasions. I have complained maybe 3 times. After my first complaint the staff vastly improved on attitude and service and has remained that way ever since. I complained about the steak and chips recently and got an extremely bad attitude from the Manager. I was told basically by the chef that the steak which was tough and over cooked it just sometimes happens and some of the chips were soggy and some were crispy. We were offered desserts but we don't eat desserts so what the point of that. We paid 77 euro for food well under par it just simply wasn't good enough. Anyway the manager told us that we should take our taste buds somewhere else. They upped the prices recently probably for the tourists got new menus with the same food on it and now we are paying for the new menus. WHERE IS GORDON RAMSEY WHEN YOU NEED HIM TO KICK THE CHEF IN TO ORDER. All I can say is the chef has no pride in his cooking and the Manager could do with going on a course on Customer care. And stop over charging your tourists and regular locals. Anyway I am not going back there.
