Cafe • Wine • Irish • High Tea
"There are very few tables for eating as you would expect in a restaurant. Most of the tables are coffee table style and height with sofas and armchairs which do not make for a comfortable sitting position for a meal at all. There is a function room adjacent which is not used for anything but afternoon teas and this was not allowed for evening dining after asking for an appropriate height table. Staff stated that when booking the meal we should have asked for a proper height table!!!!!! That option is not available through Open table. Ordered wine and it was simply set on the table with two glasses and the manager just walked off without offering to taste or pour or even confirm that was the wine we chose. After our starters we were offered to move to a higher table to find that it was surrounded by soft armchairs which required extra cushions from a nearby sofa to try and raise the seating position not very successful and ended up eating dinner at almost chin level. Food was good although whilst it looked nice, trying to eat fish and chips from a wire basket was not ideal. Small pot of tartare sauce was only 1/3 full. Seafood chowder was delicious as was the Thai curry. Nobody followed up after serving to see if the food was to our satisfaction and we were only approached once when we had finished eating to see if we wanted anything else."
