The service can be slow in Azur but it's worth the wait! The food is top class

I was in Chocolat last week and was a bit disappointed in it, maybe because I've gone there too often and the menu hasn't changed much, everone else at my table were happy with their food but I felt it lacked something.

I havent been to Azure since it moved to Georges Quay but if the food is anything like when they were in O'Connell St then it would be one of my favourite restaurants.

Always found Azur great. Portions where perfect as i was always full leaving. Found the staff very nice in there and the prices where good too. Atmosphere was very laid back also. Haven't been in there in a few months but the €19.90 menu was very good value.

I think Chocolat is the most overrated restaurant in Limerick. Nice enough tasting food but no better than a lot of places in town. Recently went to a birthday dinner there and even though we had booked for 8 O Clock we where standing around for about 45minutes, if not longer. Then when we got to our table they had not made enough places for the amount of people we booked and we ended up having to cram everyone in. Also there where other people that where waiting so long to be served on the same night they got up and left. Got the meanest portion of chicken fajitas in there also, i think it was three tiny wraps, a small bit of chicken and a tiny drop of sour cream, guacamole and salsa. The burger and steak i got in there before where pretty decent though. Just can't understand how they are always so busy.

Not a fan of that place at all.

The Hamptons maybe? They do a pretty great early bird and the service is top class.

You'll be waiting for your food tho. Like it but sometimes you can be waiting 30 mins or more for food.

Was in the Hamptons last week. Absolutely gorgeous food. Meat cooked to perfection and no delay in the service. Prices are good for the well presented, prepared foods.

If it was down to those two as an option then for me I'd go for Freddy's.

It's probably the best restaurant in Limerick, I'm pretty sure they can cater for a group.
