Wish they would have mentioned on their FB page that it's BYOB with corkage charge as we had to run back out to an off-licence to stock up before eating. So heads up for anyone else planning to go there.

We weren't able to arrange a phone call for when the table was ready so that we could have a drink elsewhere. At least the bar is decent and there's a good atmosphere upstairs too. The food was very good. Great starter platter with wings and ribs to share between the 4 of us. Seriously good ribs. The burgers were tasty and substantial in size. Chips were nice too. Staff were friendly and helpful and the whole place has a nice vibe to it. Certainly something different for a meal out in Cork. I will be back... just a pity about the booking situation.

Cornstone (Coqbull) have made a killing out of copping onto people's general disinterest in flavoursome quality food!

We were seated upstairs, where there wasn't a waiter to be seen and no background music playing, making the atmosphere very empty. The tables were very close together and for the price of the food I wouldn't expect to be sitting on a bench. The service was slow and seemed very inexperienced. Having waitressed myself I picked up on several major no no's, from clearing one plate before the rest of the table had finished to proceeding to wipe in front of my friend whose plate she had just taken, even though the rest of us were still eating! Our starters took 35mins to arrive even though it was a Tuesday lunchtime and not overly busy. We asked for water 3 times before giving up because the waiter kept forgetting Food was mediocre and over priced for what its was. My biggest gripe is the service, however that just may be a teething issue that may improve over time. I'll give it another go in a few weeks to see if theres any improvement but was thoroughly unimpressed with my first visit. According to Trip Advisor they are deleting negative reviews from their FB page too, which I don't like.

It was 1pm, walked through open door and was roared at that they were not open. ok lads, jeez... might want to shut the damn door and change your opening hours signage then!
