I've definitely never smelled any bad smells in there, and they've an outstanding beer garden! Some things are overpriced, but overall I'd recommend trying it. It's run by the same guys that run the Opera House café, so on that alone, I think it's worth trying.

So when I see things like: It makes my eye twitch . But I know of a couple of the guys involved in it, and I'm sure they'll do a great job. Maybe just put someone else in charge of Facebook updates.

And I need somewhere that's not too expensive... The best place I've managed to find thus far is the Stir Restaurant in the Maldron Hotel, as their early bird dinner is €20 for four courses. However I'd really like to find a few more options if you guys would kindly help me out??

Maybe the fake plastic flowers on the tables are wrong? It feels like a cafe in there with the decor. The benches on the wall are a little too low for the tables, it's not as comfy as it could be. The service is efficient, but maybe gone too far as well for an italian. I expect to linger more over food of that style, we felt rushed. All nit-picky there, i'd go back for sure for the great food, and they did nothing wrong service-wise.

I haven't noticed any difficulties communicating with whomever I've been accompanied by. I've been there when it has been quite busy but not full. I haven't experienced this as I've been able to choose a table on each occasion. The tables and chairs aren't fixed though so perhaps they have removed some of these since your last visit. I've enjoyed the food on each occasion. However, I've been informed by a friend of mine that they've recently brought in a new chef. Your concerns regarding the service and the experience of feeling cramped are typically symptomatic of the teething issues often associated with new establishments. Perhaps if you give it another go you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Faith wrote: » Unless you order hot food, it's not brought to your table. You're also expected to get your own water and cutlery. I've only been there during the lunchtime period and it's been pretty full, so I've had to take whatever table was available. It's also typically had a high proportion of children, adding to the din. It could certainly be teething issues, but it's been open since at least last October. I really don't intend on giving it another go tbh, no matter how many new chefs they get. The food is the least of my complaints in this instance.
