Georgios — Restaurant in The Municipal District of New Ross

To start off I wouldn’t even give this place a 1 star if it was possible. It was hands down one of the worst experiences in a restaurant in my life. We came in and our table wasn’t ready which is completely fine so we went to the pub next door and they called us through when they were ready, the first red flag was the flies everywhere around our table anyways they took our order and the starters came out and we were very impressed they were lovely however this all changed when our mains came out. The particular dishes that were awful were the three chicken gyros we had ordered, when they came out the waiter originally said they were pork gyros we quickly corrected her and said we had ordered chicken she paused for a second and then said oh yes chicken gyros. When we started eating the first thing I noticed was how pink it was for chicken my first thought then being is it raw? It clearly wasn’t as there were very tough overcooked parts, at this point we knew we’d been given pork and not chicken as there were also thick chunks of fat that you just do not get in chicken. To note our chips were completely raw as well and it had not even arrived with any pita bread which is the staple of a gyros. When we alerted the staff to this they took at least ten minutes to come over and when presented with it they were very rude and argued back with us about it being chicken and not pork further ruining the experience the head waiter then sent the chef out not to apologise for the meal but to come out and argue further with us clearly making up that the pork had ran out over and hour before he attempted to be a smart about this after I told him only three weeks ago we had been in Greece and I’d eaten chicken gyros twice a day for 7 days and I know that this is not chicken. He then came back saying he’d trained in Greece and California so I’m obviously wrong how that makes sense I don’t know. When we asked for the bill they took their sweet time with that as well and it arrived with a bottle of wine, an extra guiness, a side of pita bread, an extra Fanta, a large Bulmers, a corona which then when challenged they were very snotty about this, they clearly thought we wouldn’t check the bill. This took them 4 attempts to correct this even when we wrote clearly what we had and hadn’t ordered and what we weren’t going to pay for when it finally came back to us they’d still not taken off the extra drinks but they’d removed all food items off the bill so we paid and left. Again just a very disappointing and...

Absolutely shambolic from the start.

The owner was very rude and was grunting. We got seated away from everyone, didn't get our drinks for quite a while. They forgot the water and wine, the Guinness had to be returned because it was rancid, the cocktails tasted as if they had no alcohol in them, starters took an hour to come out, we then were waiting for our mains that just never came.

At this point we have been waiting for 1hr and 30 mins. Throughout that time the waiters and waitresses did not come over at all apart from a waiter that was just laughing at us, saying something along the lines of "do you want to pay guys? Your mains aren't coming". Has to be a nepotism hire as this man isn't capable of waiting. We were perplexed at his attitude towards us. I think he just probably didn't care about his job at all.

To be fair it sounded like the people in the main area of the restaurant were having a great time hahaha but we were completely cast aside for some reason.

Definitely won't be coming here again, would...

Had the most beautiful meal here.the staff were really friendly and we will be defined back again.

edit: went back there today again as my son and I were in the neighbourhood.and boy did they not disappoint.we had a meze plate and the chicken wings for starters which were out of this world.then we had tbe moussaka and bifteki which were also a straight 10 out 10.got talking to the owner giorgio who is a proper Greek and has been in the food industry for as long as he can remember.his wife ashling also came over to chat.never felt so at home on a place in my life. basically you are not going to get this food anywhere else in ireland in that quality and certainly not for that price.even though we live in wicklow town we have already booked our next trip....just to visit this restaurant again. p.s. we got a table outside and as we were chatting to the owners the bookings were coming in fast so might be best to ring...
