Third time lucky? lol

It's being opened by the people who have Las a Tapas in Cabinteely. If it's as good as that place it'll be a fantastic addition to the town.

FirstIn · 09-01-2014 10:47pm

Not a coffee shop! I'm gutted.

If I had some cash I would take the odd shaped building and make it a casino. It is perfect. Discreet location. Parking. The Swingers would love it to. Seriously though the bad design would work for a casino.

Or a strip pub. The UK has them. Pound in the glass, probably have to be 2 euro here though. That would be cool.

I for one am all on for helping pretty girls through college.

That earlier poster, in another topic, claiming Greystones was boring. They wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

So when you're in there eating your tapas just think what could have been...

Hilarious FirstIn. Shhh, pound in the glass, we're not meant to know what that means.

I've been to one of them... just a normal pub other than the woman in the corner taking her clothes off and the people in the pub collecting pound coins in order to convince her to put them back on.

It wasn't a pretty sight.

Have a strip pub and then bring back fr ted for a cinema protest!

Cheeky Chops · 10-01-2014 10:26pm

It's me that was complaining the town is boring but then if you are skint and live in a town full of restaurants and cafés it would be dull! I guess I resent the fact that I haven 't eaten out in at least 2 years yet the restaurants are busy. Begrudgery Cheeky Chops!

I love how it has four stars from 13 ratings already! ;-)

Wayne_M · 13-01-2014 1:20pm

I used to eat in the Cabinteely one, and imo it's a decent addition to the main st.
A brave move considering we're almost reaching saturation point on the Main St on the restaurant front, but best of luck to them - at least it's not a McDonalds ;-)

Well there's a new Estate Agents just opened on the street so the economy is obviously on its way back. Peak Restaurant may still be some way off...

Then again, the new restaurant is replacing an old restaurant that closed, so the point about saturation still stands IMO.

I suppose it all depends on the quality, IMO good / high quality restaurants will do well in Greystones. I've only been to Bels twice and both times wasnt impressed, and to be honest 99% of people i spoke to about Bels had the same opinion .....IMO thats why it closed nothing to do with saturation.

YES! A good product will survive as long as there are customers! There are customers!

Exactly it, there are tons of customers in Greystones.... and surronding places... you just gotta have a certain standard etc or niche and your in.

Best of luck to the new Restaurant, I will def try them out!

cocker5 · 12-03-2014 3:32pm

looks like its finally opening tomorrow - I wish them all the very best!!

Pics from their facebook page

:pac:

loyatemu · 12-03-2014 4:18pm

pfft - they could at least have called it "Bells Tapas"

You reckon? Nah new restaurant, new idenity!

Sure Bels had a terrible name to be honest so keeping some of the name wouldnt have been a good idea

Clean Slate and all that!

I hope they do well , menu looks good too, not too expensive etc

Im sure ill be trying it out of the next few weeks

Blingy · 12-03-2014 7:34pm

Looking forward to trying it out!!

Myself and my partner eat there last night.
It was very busy, especially for a Wednesday night, at about 8pm it was almost full!
Perhaps this is just the “honeymoon effect” and people just want to see what it is like.

I have to say the staff were friendly, helpful and reasonably efficient.
The food was excellent and portions were generous.
Ultimately in terms of value for money, it is pretty much the Greystones norm.
The deserts were average.
Would I go back? Definitely

Was hoping to see a review of this restaurant. There are Lovely smells wafting from it every evening and hopefully I'll get to try it out soon.

Tried Las tapas myself a few weeks back and heres what we thought.

Staff: really nice and friendly, effiecent, all together excellent
Atmosphere: again place was packed, so a really good buzz about the place.
Interior : not keen on the tables in the middle of the floor TBH, the seem uncomfortable, and kinda lost anytime we book we will be requesting a table around the sides, not a big thing at all. (toilets could do with a revamp though)
Food: All dishes were lovely with exception for the fish dishes, they were rubberish but i put this down to them being incredibly busy and they probably under the heater too long thats all.
Wine : really nice
Overall: all in all an excellent addition to Greystones and I for one will def be back.

We went a few Saturdays ago. The place was nice, the staff were nice - it was lunchtime and the lovely big windows and the warm yellow walls made it really pleasant to eat there. The toilets weren't great.

Also, I wasn't too impressed with the food - not nearly enough flavour for me. Not nearly enough garlic, not enough tomato, not enough lemon etc.. I lived in Spain for years and love the big robust flavours they have, and thought those were missing. It was ok but I was disappointed.

I'll have to go back and see if it was just an off day..:D
