The Rialto Bridge Cafe — Restaurant in Dublin

Was a bit disappointed the last time I came here. I always bring friends here when they stay, but the past few times it hasn't been great. I was told that I can't change anything on the menu. We ordered French toast and my friends little girl just wanted all the fruit to be on the side. We weren't allowed to have that and instead had to pay full price for one slice of plain French toast. I can't understand why they couldn't just put it on the side? I was told that you can't have any change to your order when it's busy. I would understand this more if it was busy, but when I walked to the bathroom, there were three people standing around for a while before and after I came out of the bathroom. We also ordered a sausage sandwich for my friends' other children, and they brought out sliced sausages in 2 slices of hard cold toast with no butter. We asked for butter and waited for a while for this. My friend was expecting sourdough toast with her dish too and was given 2 slices or hard cold toast. We asked for hot toast, and I was charged extra for this. I actually really liked my dish as I always get the same thing, but it's been so hit and miss for me the past few times I've come here that I felt I should...

So unhappy big massive fail. I went in here today and we where only in a minute and they said I do not think we have a table for 4. I guess I just ask the staff member said. It was approved. My Mam asked what soup was on this was at 12 noon no soup like what the heck. She asked for a breakfast instead. We literally only 1 minute sitting down been pestered asking what did we want not even my Sister was back on her seat . I said I am not ordering without my Sister. The minute my Sister sat down asking what did she want my Sister said give a chance to look at the menu waitress standing over us all the time. I ordered a chocolate cake they no even cream. Cake was so bland. They are extremely pushy staff And may I add while I was popping into the ladies toilet they even asked me what did I want to eat. I bit my lip to say can I not go to the loo first. My Mam found the restaurant very small. I am sure what the other 2 made of it but said staff where to pushy. Like they wanted us out of there quick. For a breakfast and 3 deserts and a coffee and coke zero it came to a whooping €40. The man was the only nice server...

I was there yesterday and ordered the vegetarian breakfast. I did not want eggs so I asked if I could get extra mushrooms and tomatoes instead of eggs. The server initially said this was ok and then came back and told me that if they did this I would be charged extra. I found this very unreasonable so I did not order food.

The person I was with ordered pancakes with a side of bacon, the bacon was never sent out. When this was queried the server seemed to be blaming someone else for the error. The pancakes did not have bananas as stated on the menu. A table next to us also ordered pancakes and when they queried why banana was not part of the toppings they received them.

We had to ask for the bill twice. I could not recommend this cafe based on my interactions with them yesterday and I will not return. The only reason I am giving them two stars is the food ordered by the person I went with...
