Lots of people here have a problem with restaurants not displaying menus. You obviously don't have a problem with this. Get over it!

sporina wrote: » if the menu is not on display i have no problem with going in, asking for it and having a look - whether i plan to eat at that time or not.. whats the problem with doing so? they are only restaurant staff - its not a crime and if they give you attitude then so be it - have some confidence - get the info you need.. there are much more important things to worry about.. i am not being smart but it seems be me that some folk here feel insecure by asking to look at a menu if it is not displayed.. there is nothing to be scared of in doing so

Bread and butter pudding for desert was tops too. Lovely atmosphere, staff were friendly too and will definitely be going back.

It must be getting extremely tedious for others too, not to mention being completely off topic. Despite it not being a case of anyone being right or wrong, I will, for the sake of all readers concede that you are, in fact, right and I, and possibly others, are afraid of restaurant staff and I need to man up. I really am done on the matter.

Got there at about 18:30 and they gave us the early bird menu that stated last orders at 18:30. When I tried to order, they didn't have 3/6 mains on it, including the burger, steak and pasta. Left to chose between was a thai curry, pork belly, and I believe a fish dish. Generally this wouldn't bug me, but they didn't mention anything about it beforehand, only said "oh we're out of this" when I tried to order each dish. Just tell me beforehand! Ended up having the pork belly, which was delicious, with garlic mash and a bacon jus type thing. The service was great and attentive, one of my companions had a nosebleed and was as discrete as you can be about bleeding from your face, yet the maitre d discretely popped over with some napkins, and "our" waiter stopped by to ask if he could help in any way.

It was just OK though. I have to check with herself and see what we had, I can't remember (says it all really) €9 a glass of wine is too expansive for there too imo.

the beer revolu wrote: » Was that the cheapest glass of wine available? If so, I'd agree that they should offer cheaper options. Without saying what the wine is, you can't really say that €9 is too expensive. Was it no good?
