Then I mentioned it to one of the friends I went there with initially and her takeaway from yesterday 2.1.14 never showed up at all What is going on? The service was very good the day I ate there and there was a steady stream of people popping in for takeaways. I'm not sure if I'd chance it again now.

I saw today that a Burrito and Blues restaurant is opening in Paul Street in the old Puccinos space too. Cork went from zero to three burrito joints in a few months.

They had a set menu for 55 euro, it was 5 courses with a glass of prosecco. But even before we got our first course there was a little 'shot' glass with a seafood pate in it. Was lovely. There was king prawn, then chowder, then the main which was halibut but I went for venison as the alternative choice. My god, it was outstanding and the other 3 in our party were mad jealous :-) but the halibut was lovely aswell. There was a cheese course and then dessert and finally we got chocolates and nougat. Overall it was a wonderful experience, there was a guy playing piano. And my friend got a little candle with her dessert because it was her birthday. I'd been to oysters once before (on a grab one deal) and it was lovely but it was a Monday night so a little dead. So It was certainly nice to get dressed up and have a lovely dining experience. So yeah it's a little expensive but so so good.

We had to be somewhere at 10 so I booked for 7.30 thinking that we'd be in and out in an hour and have time to go for a drink somewhere after. Ended up getting out of the place at 9.20 and we just had a main and coffee. The food came out quite quickly after we ordered but there was such a delay between each stage. 15 mins for someone to clear our plates, another 10 mins before we were asked if we wanted dessert, another 10 mins before the dessert menu was brought down, another 20 for the coffee, etc, etc. Ended up having to go up to the counter to pay instead of facing another long wait for the bill. I would try it again because I really enjoyed the food but the service would have to be a lot better.

Apart from the missing prawn crackers and the blandness, I'd suspect the food was just left sitting in the delivery drivers car for the extra half hour, that he forgot about it or something. Although actually, my oh got a dish from the specials and it was 90% vegetables. Despite it costing €10.50, there was a minuscule amount of meat in there so there was definitely a problem in the kitchen as well.

Personally myself and a very fussy Mrs andip really enjoyed it. Arrived after 20 mins with a complimentary portion of chips. I wonder are they quiet on takeaway because of the weekend that's in it and therefore maybe more time for the food prep. Shame they can't sustain this level as enjoyed it but will give them another try and report back

Food over 30 minutes late with no apology, lukewarm, food was incredibly bland and overcooked to the point of being inedible and no prawn crackers that were supposed to be a free extra for ordering over €15 of food. Pity, because we've enjoyed food from there in the past. I emailed them about it but didn't receive a reply, and I honestly don't think we'd ever eat there again.
