Full Irish breakfast came out hot and quick, on proper warm toast. That&#39;s exactly what you want on a cold morning. Staff were sound, no fuss. Place is small but has a decent buzz to it. I&#39;d say it&#39;s a solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and need something filling without the wait.

The chicken Maryland is still as good as ever &mdash; proper old-school takeaway feel. Glad the new owner kept things simple.

Been coming here for a while now, and the chimichanga never lets me down. Got the pollo with mushrooms and sauce this time too, still solid. Place gets a bit loud inside, but the music keeps it lively. Good spot if you know what you&#39;re after.

The tagliatelle al rag&ugrave; was proper Italian, not the usual tourist stuff. Reminded me of my nonna&#39;s cooking. Pasta had the right bite.

Stopped in for a late lunch and the lamb really caught my attention &mdash; cooked properly, still juicy, not overdone like most places do it. Staff were sound, no fuss. Menu&#39;s simple enough, nothing fancy, but that&#39;s grand. Place has a relaxed vibe, though it did get a bit busy around 1. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back for that lamb again.

Stopped in before a show at the Opera House. Place was packed but they found us a table anyway. Had the pizza and fajitas, both were decent. Service was quick and the staff were sound. Nothing fancy but it did the job for a pre-theatre feed.

The Penne Arrabbiata here is proper comfort food&mdash;you can tell they don&#39;t mess around with the ingredients. I popped in on a Saturday evening and there was live jazz playing, which made the whole place feel a bit special. Only thing is it got fairly busy, so we waited a little longer for the food. Still, I&#39;d go back for that pasta.

The lamb shank was the standout &mdash; fell right off the bone, proper rich gravy. Had the chowder first, decent enough but a bit thin. Waiter mixed up our order but honestly didn&#39;t care, the main dish made up for it. Would go back just for that lamb.

Taco fries were solid, really tasty. Chicken shawarma&#39;s pretty basic though, mostly purple cabbage, but still good. That 2-for-1 kebab deal between 12 and 4 is the real winner. Can&#39;t argue with that price.

Loved watching the chefs at the open kitchen while we waited. Wood-fired pizza was solid, though the place got a bit loud by the end. Staff were friendly enough without hovering.

Stopped in for a late lunch and went straight for the fish and chips. Massive portions, the batter was properly crispy and the fish was flaky. Mussels were fresh too, no complaints there. Place was busy but we got a table quick enough. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back to try more of the menu.

Came back here again last week&mdash;still my go-to spot for a proper pint. Guinness was spot on, and the live music had the whole place singing. Staff remembered me too, which never hurts.

Stopped in for a quick drink and ended up staying longer than planned. The bar itself has a proper old-school feel, wooden stools and all. Service was friendly without hovering. Just a decent spot to sit with a pint and not be rushed.

Handled our group of 10 no bother, even with kids and a coeliac. Butter chicken was the standout. Service kept up the whole night.

The slow-roasted lamb was decent, but honestly the portions are what sold me. Generous for the price, and the chicken curry was a solid pick too.

Came for the match on the big screens, ended up staying for the food. The fish chowder was proper&mdash;creamy, plenty of fish, not just potato filler. Chicken salad was fresh too, decent size for the price. Place was busy but we got our order quick enough. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a bite with the game on.

Lamb shank was spot on. Owner knew his stuff about the local food, that was a nice touch. Service was grand, not in your face.

The cod was pretty good&mdash;properly cooked, flaky, not greasy. Brownie for dessert was decent too, nice and rich. Staff sorted us a table even though we&#39;d only booked that morning, which I appreciated. Place was a bit busy but we weren&#39;t rushed. Fine for a casual dinner, I&#39;d go back.

Stopped in for the steak sandwich with chips and peppercorn sauce. It was gorgeous, exactly what I needed. Staff were friendly enough, no complaints there. Place had a decent buzz about it, not too loud. Solid spot if you&#39;re after a casual bite, I&#39;d say. Might be back again sometime.

Food was proper tasty, but the service was all over the place&mdash;wrong drink came out, sauces whipped away, then rushed to pay. Would still go back for the food though.

Grabbed lunch here during a busy afternoon. The meal deal is decent for the price, no complaints. Had the lentil soup, hit the spot on a cold day. Service was quick, in and out in under 15 minutes. Not fancy, but it does the job when you need something fast and healthy.

Decent spot in Cork for a drink. Bar had plenty of room and the staff were friendly enough. Seating area was comfortable too. Wouldn&#39;t mind stopping by again.

The popcorn tofu at Koto was really good&mdash;crispy outside, soft inside. Portion sizes are generous too. I&#39;d go back just for that dish.

Early bird menu is decent value, food came out quick enough. Staff left us alone which I appreciate. Place had a nice buzz even on a quiet evening.

Big portions and the staff were sound. We sat inside cause it was lashing but it still had a nice buzz. The terrace would be deadly on a sunny day.
