Limited and overpriced menu . Chips n Fish with more chips and no veg or panfried fish with 3 tiny potatoes is an insult to the average appetite and purse at €15 and €17 respectively. Pre-packed (Well known german supermarket ) Ribs with yet again more chips are sold at €14. Ceiling had a hole where we were treated to a leak which has been there since october 2018 apparently . No atmosphere , no local art , no fresh flowers , no mussels or local seafood of any significance, no steak ..no class and no shame in ripping off tourists . A cheap , shoddy refurburbishment - The plastic lucky bamboo plants and tacky signage says it all . Save your money , bring a picnic and eat in Baltimore.

Came in there like I usually do on on a lovely evening give them a lot of business and we are treated with disrespect from the manager and most of the staff they don’t have enough food to they run out after the second person! The manager while I was ordering my wings continued to disrespect me and my felllow friends. All we did was order and got disrespected by a manager not just a worker but a manager!

We visited the restaurant and were greeted by some very nice staff. Within a few minutes a lovely lady took our order and got our drinks. The starters arrived quite promptly and they were very nice. The plates and table were cleared and we awaited our main courses. Alas 35 minutes later and we managed to get the attention of the young man who was serving our area. He apologised and within 10 minutes tge food arrived. My other half was happy with his, however my fish and chips were not good. The fish was piping hot and had been placed on top of the chips in a wire basket. Some of the chips had obviously been cooked earlier as they looked and tasted that way these were mixed with some fresher chips and only the chips directly under the fish were piping hot, the mushy peas in a plastic thing were also lukewarm. When the plates were cleared I was not asked was everything ok as there was quite a lot of food left on my plate. This appeared to go unnoticed ? When it came to paying the bill we paid some by gift voucher the waiter commented that a lot of people had obviously got gift vouchers I stared that I certainly would not buy one for anyone as I was unimpressed with our visit. He never responded. Sad really as the starters were great and initially it seemed it was going to be great. The voucher was a gift from a family friend who works as a tour guide and obviously felt this was a great spot to visit. I have to say it\'s over 5 years since I was here and I don\'t think I will try a return visit. Beautiful place, some good staff but disappointing service.

Disappointed, went to the restaurant at 22:20 on a Saturday which on google says the restaurant closes at 12am and I was told at the door that the kitchen was closing, which seems unlikely, I wonder why I was told the kitchen was closing

Having heard so much about this restaurant I went out of my way to have a meal here when I was in Cork. I arrived about 5:20 and immediately liked the look of the building, old brickwork which was exposed. When my starter arrived I asked if the rap music which was playing could be lowered down a little. Not an outlandish request, especially as I was the only customer in the place at the time. The food was nice and tasty and when my main course arrived I again asked if the music could be turned down. Both times I made this request the waitress said no problem but nothing happened. About half way into my main course an extremely foul mouthed song came on and seemed to go on forever. Every second word seemed to be F*#k you, F*#k this, mother F*#kers. Now I'm no stranger to hearing such language on a construction sit but not over the speakers in a restaurant. By this stage I'd had enough of it, so I put on my coat and paid my bill and asked to see the manager. He was very apologetic but really didn't seem to be able to deal with the situation. He never really commented when I told him that it was the first time that I ever left half my meal uneaten perhaps he needs further or some training in dealing with customer complaints. Would I come here again ? NO. Would I recommend it to a friend ? NO.
