The food was all very very bland and uninspiring, especially given the cost!
I'd much rather pop across the road to the Takeaway and get much better quailty for half the cost.
Yes, I realise, by 'sitting-in' there are increased overheads from the likes of Staff, Heating, Lighting and equipment etc, but NO, it not acceptable.
The Spicy Platter sharer starter was particulary bad. The photo doesn't do the taste justice. No mention of the Seafood in the ingredients and again overcooked, rubbery items. Only positive was the Seaweed, which of course isn't actually Seaweed.
⅔ of our initial Main choices weren't available and then to add insult, we were informed that the Scallops, at last minute, were "not completely available" and "would we like to try something else". The scallops themselves were tiny, overcooked and tasteless (and we've had Scallops in many fine dining eateries).
Furthermore, not once were we asked if we wanted anymore drinks, probably because the "Irish Front-of-House", as described in other reviews, seemed more interested in chatting on the phone and mooching over the apparent regulars.
I will definitely not be returning, but sometimes it proves wrong to be curious and follow other people's recommendations.
The refreshingly professional Irish front of house lady gave us the warmest of welcomes. She was genuinely interested in our comfort and ran a very tight ship. The rest of the staff were equally diligent and friendly. They couldn't have helped more, despite shortages due to Covid.
For food, we went for a set menu, compromising of chicken satay, seaweed, calamari, satay chicken, hoisin duck, sweet and sour chicken, crispy shredded beef and king prawns (to name a few). We finished with coffee.
From start to finish, the service and food served was impeccable. The portions and quality were outstanding. We'll be back for sure.
