"We had a lovely lunch with real attention to detail for a few in our group that had various allergies and special requirements. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend!"
"I attended Breathnachs for a family get together including adults and kids. Roughly 20 of us. The staff that served us were friendly but that is the only good thing I can say about our experience. The service was slow, the food was mediocre at best with one person finding a lump of clingfilm in their chowder, another not receiving their starter until well after everyone else was finished theirs. This also happened with a main course where the wraps for the chicken fajitas appeared but the fajitas did not until well after everyone else had finished. One person's bottle of beer was a month out of date whist another persons bottle of coke was a full year out date. The only consistency about the night was the poor quality of the food across the board. When we asked to speak to the manager we were informed that the owner was present. She appeared and was overhead telling her staff that we could wait 10 mins. When she did speak to the person paying the bill she gave absolutely no apology blaming instead the fact that they were short staffed. There was however plenty of staff on and it was early 5.30 pm and the bar was not busy. I hope this review saves some other family from wasting their money and time."
"lovely food and great service. We were there early, 6pm, for dinner. it was quite, but great tunes playing. Bartender/waitress was friendly and helpful. lovely thin base pizza full of flavour and great steak with lovely fries and mushroom sauce. Would happily go back."
