Honestly one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had.

I don’t know what happened, I assume this place must have at one point been good given the other reviews on here, but we were just served the cheapest possible overcooked eggs, bread etc. with no care or love whatsoever put in and charged a fortune, more than I’ve seen advertised at nicer looking expensive places – not expecting the world at a greasy spoon, but I’ve been to many and this takes the brown nobbly biscuit for the worst I’ve ever eaten at – for only marginally more we got a swanky brunch elsewhere yesterday. If we had any spine at all I would have told them what I really thought of their overpriced tasteless effortless food, but English politeness (cowardice) dictated I should wait and do it here.

I never normally do reviews and I’m sorry to be so harsh but seriously, something needs to change.

This was an interesting experience. We only came in to grab a quick small bite before going in to Jameson. We ordered one meal and then sat down. Probably very obvious we were not from Ireland. During our meal, a random sign was written and then taped to the register that sharing a plate is an additional 3 euros. Of course when we got rung up it was an additional 3 euros than what we expected. When questioning why we were being charged, the owner (I assume) said we took up two seats despite the restaurant being otherwise empty. Would have been fine if we were told as two people entering a restaurant ordering one meal, but to change while we were eating and then charge us doesn’t seem fair. All of my other reviews are of positive experiences because I don’t like to write negative ones but this one really...
