    Fair play to them. I haven't been yet but I hope it does well and that it might encourage other businesses to open in that area.

    Was in La Cucina Centro on Friday before the Munster - Maori match, we arrived there I say 5.15 pm and we had to wait a few minutes for a table which was fine.

    Service I must say was excellent, very quick to take drink orders initially. Staff were very friendly and you can have good craic with them too.

    With regards to the food, I really enjoyed it. I got the lasagna, my friend got the carbonara and the other got a pizza. They were all delicious. The portions were small enough I thought but the quality of the food made up for this.

    Throughout the whole meal, a crowd waiting to be seated grew at the entrance to the restaurant. Saying that, the staff didn't try to rush you when finishing the meal, we had dessert and coffee and chatted away for a while and that didn't seem to bother the staff.

    The interior is great too, very cool and modern.

    All in all, an 8.5/10. Due to portion size and the fact that you are always likely to be waiting for a seat due to the limited seating in the restaurant.

    Will be back again! :)

    It's alright. Best described as pub grub. Definitely nothing special about it. Probably a euro or two over priced for what you're getting too.

    I'd agree with zulutango, standard pub grub fare. Strangely, it's rated fairly highly (no. 8 actually) on Tripadvisor. For some reason, the contributors to Tripadvisor Limerick have a weird affinity to gastropubs/pub grub. Bobby Byrnes was no.1 for a long time, until recently displaced by Da Vincenzo

    The staff in Bobbys will ask you at least 3 times to rate them on trip advisor when you eat there. That's why.

    God knows why she picked there, but I'm sure she has her reasons! Remember, it's first and foremost a pub. Don't expect to get the kind of grub, service or ambiance you'd get in a restaurant.

    She's very much a pub kind of person hahaah :P But thank you for the warning. I much prefer a restaurant but birthday girl gets her wish.

    I got 40 out for two courses and a few drinks. Hopefully that is enough for me.

    Went in there last night.

    Its very nice, food was very tasty, prawn cocktail to start and the prime rib for 2, beef was overcooked though, i mentioned it to the server when she asked how everything was but my wife doesnt like it when i complain, seemingly i get "hostile":pac: so I didnt send it back.

    Would deffo go back, food was seasoned really well.

    It is at the back of the costcutter unit. Says it all really.

    All you can eat and most of it cheap muck. Think an even cheaper version of Wokking. It is rubbish.

    Owned by same crowd as Jasmine Palace, Wokking, Ze-we-ton.

    in short - awful

    So after going to the Glenn tavern, I actually liked it. Food was lovely and massive portions too. I had the chicken Kiev which i was worried would be dry but it wasnt. v. Drinks were on the pricey side but I only wanted one anyway.
    Our server was a lovely guy, who joked along with us and joined in our fun. We sat closest to the door in a big group of 8 whilst the normal pub goers were at the far side so we made our own atmosphere and I definitely thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Thanks for the heads up! I've noticed loads of 'takeaways' springing up at the back of shops, it's a new 'thing' seemingly :confused: In the evenings, the regular deli in Mace in Caherdavin suddenly transforms into an Indian takeaway :confused:
