Solid feed for the price, no complaints. Got the lunch special and it hit the spot. Service was quick enough for a busy spot.

We came here for a birthday dinner, family of four. Food was decent &mdash; I had the grilled fish, it was cooked fine, nothing to complain about. Kids liked their pasta well enough. Service was pretty good, friendly without hovering. Only small thing, it got a bit loud by the time we left. But for a casual night out, it did the job.

The pho here is proper&mdash;rich broth, decent amount of beef. Veggie spring rolls were a solid shout too. Service was quick enough, though it does get a bit tight downstairs when it&#39;s busy.

I was impressed by the quick service and the quality of the food at Driftwood. The tuna steak and fish and chips were standout dishes, and the desserts, while good, were served on hilariously large plates!

The rooms upstairs are spotless and comfortable, with a huge bathroom and great shower. Breakfast is a solid self-service spread, and the staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Just be prepared for some street noise and firm pillows.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the salmon sashimi and a dragon roll. Fish tasted properly fresh, not the usual sad lunchtime stuff. Staff left me alone but checked in when needed. Place is decent if you&#39;re nearby and want something quick.

Dariusz and Maria are the real deal&mdash;proper friendly, made me feel right at home. Coffee was decent too, but the service is what I&rsquo;d come back for.

Stopped in for drinks&mdash;the strawberry mint mojito was proper refreshing. Nice touch having mocktails on the menu too, not just an afterthought. Saw a drink tower go by, looked class for a group. Bar was a bit quiet for a Friday but that suited me fine. Wouldn&#39;t mind trying the food next time.

Stumbled in here on a cold afternoon and honestly didn&rsquo;t want to leave. The window seat was perfect for people-watching while I had a pot of tea and a slice of lemon cake. Place is small but really well lit, not one of those dark cramped spots. Only thing is it got a bit busy around 3pm, but still worth grabbing a seat if you can.

Clean spot, staff were friendly enough. The food&rsquo;s properly seasoned for Korean palates. Wanted a beer to go with it but they were out of my usual. Rice costs extra, just so you know.

Stopped in for a late lunch and grabbed a seat by the window. The place is bright, plenty of room between tables. Had the grilled fish&mdash;cooked properly, flaky, no complaints. Staff were friendly without hovering. Pairing it with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc worked well, though the glass was a bit small for the price. Solid enough if you&#39;re in the area and want a relaxed bite.

Stopped in for lunch and grabbed a burrito with a drink for &euro;11.50. Portion was big enough that I couldn&#39;t finish it. Filling options are plenty, and the hot sauce on the table gives it a proper kick. Solid spot if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t want to spend a fortune.

Good spot for a quiet catch-up. Plenty of tea options and board games, decent prices. Service was friendly enough. Bit slow when it got busy, but no major complaints.

Solid flat white and the queue moved fast, even at rush hour. Didn&#39;t expect that from a station coffee spot.

The early bird menu is decent value&mdash;three courses for what you&rsquo;d normally pay for a main elsewhere. I went for the fish, which was cooked well, and the warm sticky toffee pudding hit the spot. Pairing it with a glass of dessert wine worked nicely. Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed. Fine for a midweek bite.

Booked for a group of eight and they handled it well. Staff were sound, kept checking in and the food didn&#39;t take forever to come out. Had the chicken burger, it was decent. Place got a bit loud later on but that&#39;s on us for picking a busy Friday. Fine for a casual shout.

Came in with a wheelchair, staff moved tables around without me even asking. That was decent. Pancakes were good, fluffy enough. Got a second plate, no regrets. Place isn&#39;t big but they made it work. Fine for a casual breakfast stop.

The lamb stew was the real deal. Tender, rich, proper Irish flavours. I&#39;d go back just for that alone. The waiter knew the menu inside out, helped my mate with her allergies and got the kitchen to sort her something safe. That was decent. Didn&#39;t pay much attention to the room or anything else. The food did the talking.

The Sizzler pizza and meatballs were proper good. Only thing is the slices came all wonky&mdash;seven uneven pieces. Still, solid spot for a feed.

The cod was spot on, and that miso cabbage... honestly could&#39;ve had another plate of just that. Waiter knew his stuff when we asked for suggestions. Lemon posset rounded it all off nicely. Place was a bit warm near the window, but didn&#39;t ruin it. Would go back for that cabbage alone.

Soup and salads were fresh, and that homemade scone really hit the spot. Gluten-free brownie&rsquo;s decent too. Prices fair enough for the portion.

Bit of a wait to get served, but the sandwich itself was solid. Good bread, decent filling. Place feels more like a casual cafe than a 4-star hotel spot, which caught me off guard. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area, just don&#39;t expect anything fancy.

The curry here is seriously good, probably the best I&#39;ve had in the city. Portions are huge and the staff were sound. Definitely hitting that spot again.

Stopped in for a quick bite and grabbed a few pizzas to share. The team sorted out a big order without any fuss, which I always appreciate. Food came out quick and hot. I had a glass of red with mine, and it did the job nicely. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy.

Food came out fast even with the place packed on a Friday. Got the steak, cooked exactly right. Staff were sound too.

Michelle and her team really looked after us &mdash; proper attentive without hovering. The food was solid too. Left feeling properly looked after.

The salt and chilli chicken was a bit soft, but those wontons were spot on. Curry sauce is proper good.
