    Judging by the apalling service you get in there, I'd be surprised if it was still open...

    Few weeks ago, I rang Ottherholt & Left a Message. It was Late at Night (Near Midnight) so I headed out to see could I get a bed.
    Ondly then did I discover it was in bits & closed-up.
    I'd be passing it at least twice a week (in & out) doing weekly shop & I'd never copped-it.
    Would businesses that are shut-down not be better off saying so on answering machine?
    Or disconecting their' no.?

    If a business isint getting enough costumers its bound to close. Especially if their is a lot of money owed to the banks, Revenue commisioners etc...

    Filth! Have it removed at once!

    I dont know many people who have returned to the grill and grape. It was almost a novelty restaurant. Once you had the sizzling steak served on hot rocks then there wasnt much to bring you back.

    The service was truly dire - even when it was quiet
