The Restaurant Recommendation Thread

Had some grub in The Silver Key yesterday evening before the match in Pairc Ui Rinn. I have to say the food was very good and the service was excellent given the fact that the place was very busy due to the match, can't fault it at all, top notch experience.

I've had pizza there that I've really enjoyed but my wife was there recently and brought home some osso bucco that she couldn't finish. It was real canteen cooking. The meat had a very strong taste of too much cheap dried herbs and the risotto just tasted of cheap stock cubes. All far too salty, as well. lt really put me off going there again.

I agree. Went once and would be slow to go again. Compared to Gallo and Galetti it was like average home cooking.

Good to hear the Silver Quay is making a comeback they lost us the last time we went there, with a lasagne with an easy single top to it utter rubbish it was and then not following up with like anything not even food after we sent it back

This must have been a long time ago, because there are certainly no cheese single topped lasagnes anymore!

Hate to say it lads but the Siver Quay is certainly not making a comeback if the last couple of visits there are anything to go by. It's still really bad.. I think it's popular because it's handy for large groups at lunchtime and the portions are big. The food itself is atrocious.

mmmm do you work there Leahyl!!

Haha I see!! I see!!

I see! I see as in I get what you are saying.....

yep still there and I saw on facebook during the week that they are setting up shop in the Sextant in town as well !

Went for the Lunch Thaali in Tandoori nights yesterday. Decent for a fiver, the rice and naan were very good. My dining partners Lamb Balti was among one of the worst things either of us had tasted from an indian restaurant. A very strange sweet tasting sauce which looked like a balti but tasted like Chinese sweet and sour with a bit of curry sauce thrown in. Its a pity as the decor is very quirky and staff were nice but i dont think we will be rushing back, at least not for the balti.

We were in Fenns quay a few weeks back with a group of 6. My Aubergine Charlotte was middle of the road but the blade of beef and "wellie style" steak were both divine. One bugbear I had was the clichéd wording of the menu "Have a lash of the starters" and "The mains are savage cabbage". The dining area could also do with a bit of a spruce up, a lick of paint and re-upholstering the chairs wouldnt go amiss.

Siesta looks like it's closed. The only time I was there it was very poor unfortunately.

Yeah it's amazing. It's pretty easy food to do well too. There's definitely a market for a casual, fun Mexican.

Went to wild west wings yesterday evening, it was my first time there. I got the buffalo wings, tasted great, service was great but the portion was really small, got chips with them and they were small as well, I could have actually had two main courses there, I left hungry. Won't be going back even tho the wings were excellent and I love wings but its just bad value

Went for a couple of drinks afterwards and was starving at that stage so I called into wabisabi, it was my first time there too, it was ok but nothing too exciting, the sushi in dashi is nicer which I would not have expected. Will go back there and try it again

For Mexican, there's Cafe Mexicana in Careys Lane. Its good but small portions.

I was only there once which was a few years back and it was the worst mexican I ever had but times change so I better revisit it and see if it's as good as the other places I have been to
