"Return in the near future with a different offering".
Like dominos at this stage 😐
Well this one does suck
Like so many others I got the impression that Nash19 was for a certain clique (the folks from The Mall and Douglas G.C.) and others were just barely tolerated.
Unfortunately that clique has drifted by and the alienated others didn't come in to save the place.
As Beer Revolution says I hope the staff are sorted and the local suppliers don't get stung.
Edit: I was surprised to see the amount of people clearly coming out and saying it wasn't a Local Treasure.
Gosh, there really is little sympathy for Nash! I was being somewhat diplomatic in expressing my opinion fully expecting to be admonished by a certain poster for being negative and irritable! Not so, it seems.
That's extremely pricey for basically lentil soup. Profit margin on that is probably 90%.
I am very sorry for the staff at Nash 18, my experience just prior to Covid was exactly the same as the previous posters, a ghastly woman. The breakfasts were lovely, I never went back.
VAT didn’t increase, a temporary reduction ended on the 1st September which Businesses had 6 months notice that it was going to end.
I was in the Corner House Bistro in Athlone today. They're closing tomorrow. It was a lovely place, 20 staff, the guy doesn't want to close but he says the VAT increase and wage increase was the final straw. He was saying there will be lots of closures between now and May. Then I come home and read this news. Sad to see local businesses closing, what will we be left with? Generic multinational eateries? Cities and towns full of sports shops? My sympathies to all at Nash - they did an amazing breakfast.
That’s really interesting now because I couldn’t never see the love for the place! Thought it was just me
yeah I stopped going there years ago - found the owner so intimidating - and she was so rude to her staff..
i am sure that the staff will be able to get work elsewhere - and where they are treated better I hope
Never had a love of the place. I remember it as a greasy spoon before it revamped many years ago. I got the feeling if you went it with Penney's bags while shopping, you weren't really wanted. Honestly, that aside, not sure why there was always hype about the place.
Sad to see another closure, but she is a truly ignorant woman.
Last time I was in there having breakfast (years ago), she absolutely roared at the waitress for not bringing me a paper which I didn't ask for. I told her it was fine and she told me not to interrupt her while "discliplining" her staff.
Previous to that I asked her for another coffee while having my breakfast and she said "I'm the owner not a server, I'll get you one" .Really like?
Thats unfortunate.
While it was a decent cafe/restaurant and did champion a lot of local produce, I could just never find affection for the place. It always felt like it was there to cater for a certain South Mall/chamber of commerce sort. I guess it just wasn't my type of place or I wasn't their type of customer.
Still, I take no pleasure in it's closure, I hope the employees find new jobs and that creditors aren't stung badly. It's not a good time to be a supplier to the trade, either.
Nash 19 Closing
Another dahl review. Spice Inn, North Main Street.
Very tasty and the staff are fun.
€16.40, so a bit pricey. Includes the onions. Bread was a bit dry.
Love that place - their salads are delicious. I don't go half as much as I should/would like. You've given me a hankering for it now!
I'm a fan of Loving Salads on Academy St for lunch, a reasonably size bowl (although it has shrunk) with your choice of five portions plus hummus & seeds on top for €6.50. Can't go wrong really. Not fine dining of course 🙂
I’ve been to Sano twice and got the cook at home pizzas three times.
Food has been great every time but one thing I’ve noticed from the get go is that the staff look quite jaded and uninterested which is strange for a place only open a few months.
Yeah. Can't help feeling that if the service wasn't so woeful, the pizzas probably would have tasted better!
Nothing worse than untrained floor staff, though.
In my favorite restaurant last night - Market Lane, haven't been for the best part of a year. Still exceptional, they are just operating on another level in quality and service. I was pleasantly surprised too that prices increases were pretty marginal in comparison to other places.
To me its the model restaurant, relatively simple food done well.
That is a pretty scathing review, wouldn't reflect my experiences there.
Pizza is pretty subjective though, people like a certain style and base.
Frankies is excellent though, its like nothing else I've tried.
Use archive.ph
Just paste the link of the the article into the site and away you go.
I thought the pizzas in Sano were good, and it's very reasonable by current standards. I didn't like the chain-restaurant vibe and the service that goes with that. Maybe it's still new enough to be having a few teething problems?
I managed to read it by loading the page, and screenshotting in sections before the paywall notification popup appears.
Sano sounded absolutely crap.
That's a scathing review of Sano, alright.
I thought the bases were pretty good, there.
Is this the article?
It’s behind a paywall (that I’ll never pay for).
their prices are shocking and have been even before the latest covid/Ukraine/energy crisis/Brexit plethora of excuses.
They're still in Blarney.
Ballincollig branch closed recently. Blarney still going?
I don't see them doing well in Marina tbh... The food was always sub par, maybe people liked the Patrick Street place as it was comfortable and familiar.
