Alvito's Restaurant
Captains View, Captains Hill, Leixlip, Kildare

Certainly not the standard of most Italian Restaurants and way overpriced in these recessionary times. We found the selection of pasta dishes very limited, plenty of selection for tomato based sauces but little else. Very disappointed to find that even basic italian dishes so tasteless.

Poor quality food at overpriced rates, little wonder we were the only ones dining

Ravellos Restaurant
Clonsilla Village, Dublin 15, Clonsilla, Dublin

Myself and my partner are regular customers. This is an excellent restaurant with pleasant staff - the food quality is superb, the service outstanding, the decor has a real italian feel. If you are looking for excellent food! Value for Money! Fab surroundings and service with a smile then you must visit this restaurant (I guarantee you'll become a regular just like me!) :-) I will most definitely be back in the very near future ...am looking forward to it already!! Two 4 Courses with half bottle of red €65 now that's value for money...

This is a superb restaurant, excellent food at a very reasonable price. Service top class fabulous decor and comfort. It was really busy but despite the fact that we had not booked in advance they managed to accommodate us on a busy Sunday evening This restaurant has set the standard which other restaurants in the area would need to follow if they are to maintain their market share....with the quality of food, service and attention to detail this restaurant will continue to thrive in these difficult economic times! Well done - will definitely be back:-)

Caffrey's of Batterstown
Batterstown, Dunboyne, Meath

Having been regular, loyal customers of Cafferys, we have become increasingly disappointed with each visit recently. The standards at Caffreys have definitely spiraled downwards at a very noticeable rate. On our last visit Sunday 7 March it was very busy and the food quality, portion size, service and appreciation of customer loyalty etc were all compromised!! Then to add to this when we received our bill we were again being overcharged… this for the second time in as many weeks…not good enough!! We asked to speak with a manager who arrived with a half hearted apology, he made no goodwill gesture and took my phone number stating that someone would call the following day which they did. Again offering a half hearted apology and excuse that the restaurant was very busy. A bottle of wine on the house when we next visited was on offer that is put as 'if we decided to return' (staff had confirmed I believe prior to the call that we were very regular customers). This gesture was very poor in light of two incidences of over charging and the fact that one cannot drink and drive. Caffreys is a total rip-off where you need to watch your bill because and if they are busy you get smaller portions and poor service!! It is unlikely that we will be back.
