"We visited on Easter Monday. we were a party of six. I was surprised with how poor this restaurant experience was given it is within a 5 star restaurant. The staff were friendly but poorly trained. The room lacked any atmosphere. This wasn't helped by the type of screeching overbearing jazz music that gives you a headache. We waited about 40 minutes before our order was taken. The menu was very limited. There were only four main courses. (A steak, salmon, a burger or enchilada). I ordered the burger and fries. The burger and fries were €24. The burger was truly awful. It reminded of the frozen rubbery supermarket burger we ate as children in the late 1980's. I generally can eat most foods when hungry. I drew the line at this. My daughter had the salmon. It was €27 and was the size of a small mobile phone. When we asked for tap water having ordered two bottles of sparkling water, the waitress never came back with the water. My wife ordered tea. It arrived with no milk. We waited 5 minutes to get the attention of a waitress who finally brought the milk for the now cold tea. One waiter began spraying the empty tables beside us with cleaning spray while we were still dining. We were a party of six but had no alcoholic drinks and only one desert, the bill came to €210 for lunch. Having read other reviews it is clear that this poor attention to detail and truly average food (for the price) has been prevalent here for some time. In my view, you would be better served heading to Avoca Handweavers in Kilmancanogue for a fine lunch with delicious desserts and a great atmosphere."
