The Merry Tree - Rathwood — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Baltinglass

I would not recommend this restaurant to any coeliac due to the limited options, even if the web page and other reviews claim more options that is not the case. The cross contamination is on another level and the only redeeming quality about this restaurant is that you can go on a walk in Rathwood.

I ordered a salad, as this was the only coeliac friendly option with no worry about cross contamination. However, I was disappointed to find that the strawberries in my salad were old and mouldy. When I raised this complaint to staff, I was given a new salad with no mouldy strawberries, however, nothing further was done about the issue and there was no apology. The food was just not fresh so nevermind even the cross contamination issues but the food being old is bad enough.

Both the waitress and the manager magda brought out our desserts with a birthday candle in my daughters dessert whilst singing happy birthday to my daughter, which was a lovely surprise. Staff are amazing and really look after you, they couldn't be more helpful. The restaurant is very clean. After our meal we had a quick look around the shop and then went for a lovely walk in the woods. Overall we had an amazing day and will...

Food nearly stone cold coming out of the carvery stood waiting nearly 10 minutes to pay (place was quiet not busy at all) all while my food was getting even colder. Told the lady who was manning the till and she flat out ignored me until I literally had to ask her did she hear what I said. Was then rudely told she could put it in the microwave or go tell the kitchen myself. Not her department apparently even though she was taking payment. Food was cold, mediocre and the gravy had a weird aftertaste. Only reason 3 stars were allocated for service is because Liz the lady who seated and looked after us was absolutely lovely

No response from owner they obviously really care about people's...
