CUSH Midleton & Salty Dog Pop-Up Restaurant — Restaurant in The Municipal District of East Cork

Booked in after reading the reviews in the Times - my partner and myself are both chefs and overall we were pretty disappointed. The menu has potential, but the food was underseasoned (even the bread). Tuna tartare starter was served on a hot plate and left under lamps so that if was warm when it arrived. The monkfish to share for 90 euro was too small of a dish for the price and was also overcooked and not seasoned !

Perhaps the kitchen were having an off night, but overall quite disappointed as seasoning food and cooking proteins correctly is a BASIC requirement of running a kitchen! Maybe some oversight is needed !

We ate here recently with friends. We opted for the early-bird menu, and while the menu was somewhat restricted we all easily found something to our liking. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food was very good; well presented and very flavourful. I recommend the restaurant and we will return. At €38 for two courses on the early bird menu it’s not cheap, but for a treat every now and then...
