Well worth going to. Might be available for tomorrow. Keep me in the know

JohnK

I'd be on for this alright (either night). What sort of time would you be thinking of?

nesf

Haven't been. Hmmm. Would be interested in trying the place out. I've no fixed plans for tomorrow night or Thursday so just name a time mate.



As an aside... Perhaps have a monthly meal thingy going on? Try out some wacky new resteraunts or something with good company? Might work as an idea...

What's the Cork one like? The one here in Dublin has gone to the dogs.

The Cork one just opened last month. It's not been around long enough for people to have long term opinions on

They've been doing the rounds recently alright.

I'm still wrecked after their house call this morning. Interesting way to kill 2 hours tho.

rymus

Yes, I think I will go. If I can manage to get up early tomorrow and do a proper day's work.

rymus

Great, who's gonna let Gordon know?

Yes it has. It opened March 17th. Been a few times. I'm not sure what it is but I'm not as happy with it as the one in Dublin.

JohnK

Tomorrow at 8 sounds splendid. I presume we are meeting there?

dudara

Souds very good now. Yaki soba are beckoning.

If someone is willing to suggest a meeting point, then let's do this..

Been there about 4 times - at first was delighted, as I used to eat there when I lived in London, so when I first went in it was like "aaaahhh, home, a bit of London in Cork" and it was big and bright and the staff were just a bit over-friendly which is nice in one way but also makes you feel like "please give me a nice tip if I show my dazzling white teeth". There seemed to be a good buzz in the place, staff camraderie really there! But the best bit, the food was yummy and CHEAP!!! If you're drinking green tea with your meal it's FREE - and that's a word we rarely see in Cork. (And the choc dessert with Wasabi is scrummy). (There's a dish with chicken breast covered in curry sauce, with rice and salad on the side - very tasty). (Of course the noodle soups are fab too).

But haven't been for about a month now, as the last time I was there, some dippy waitress forgot to serve my friends main course - now I know there can be slight delays, as in one of you may be served 2 mins ahead of your fellow diner, due to what you've ordered - that's no prob - but I was about to finish my main course, we had to call dippy girl and she went "oh" and then grabbed my friend's meal from counter and put infront of him. (Yes it was sitting on counter neglected). Then she stood next to us, chatting and laughing with one of her colleagues and proceeded to take the fluff of her black trousers with cellotape - oh yes, she was right next to us doing this. I loudly reiterated to my friend that she was putting me off my food with her grooming antics. (She stopped and moved behind counter) Normally I would complain to a manager about such shoddy behaviour but we were rushing for a film so left and didn't leave a tip,(the only time I may add we didn't leave one).

So please report back tomorrow on your meal this evening, dying to hear if the staff are a bit more "clued up". And Bon Apetite!!! J

Yeah, so I've decided I'm going now. We just meet in there at 8?

nesf

Well, the raven is across the street from it and has tables outside and such. I may decide to recline across the street with a book or something.

Although I can't promise anything.

dahamsta

I guess 8:00 outside, or 7:30 in the Long Island if anyone fancies pre-prandial cocktails?

Now you're talking! Anyone ever try their toblerone cocktail? It's yumm

rymus

half seven in the long island sounds doable. on a side note, where's the long island?

or on a tangent.. 7.30 in the raven. or 7.30 anywhere. im easy


//edit
never mind, I found it on google. Apparently it's in New York. See ye there at 7.30

dahamsta

Right, 7:30 at the Long Island it is. If you can't make it, be outside Wagamama at 8:00 on the button.

Rymus, it's halfway down the first block on Washingtom Street, South Main Street side.

adam

nesf

The Long Island....

Pretty cocktails.....



This could be a bad plan...................

rymus

wear something frilly... you'll be grand.

I'll have to dress "nice". They have never seemed to like my "I really couldn't give a ****" attitude towards clothes in there before.

I can look classy.... I swear.... Now where did I put that burberry cap...

rymus

oh dear god.. does that mean I'll have to brush my teeth & have a shave? just when I was getting so accustomed to the leering neerdowell dirty old man look. Curses and double drat!

simu

Oh - are they fussy about dress there?

(pressure)

nesf

Well, I (hope) they aren't at 7.30 in the evening. I've just had a few issues on occasion walking in there on a Saturday night.

Maybe it's just because I look and dress like a freak.

Dizzyblabla

do we have to make a reservation or anything?
I'm till trying to decide if I drive or not tonight... humm....

JohnK

Looks like this is going to be the biggest gathering yet
See ye at 7.30!

Not if you're female. They're a bit of the "shiny black shoes for men" brigade

simu

Ah, ok. I'm only wearing jeans and a t-shirt now - was afraid that wouldn't do.

Dizzyblabla

ya, how many of us are going?? I'm leaning towards the driving me thinks....
Well I'm going *puts up hand* - who else?

They don't take reservations.

Oh how very post-modern dahrling!


Oh and simu, dudara is right, it's only the men they are fussy over. Like everywhere that's fussy in Cork tbh.

Although I wouldn't advise showing up in a shiny tracksuit and hoopy earrings!!

Right, whoever gets refused from long island is welcome to join me for a post-rejection flagon of cider in a nearby field of my choosing.

Ohh, classy. can we use champagne glasses to sip it from?

rymus

I was going to recommend the usage of glass slippers but whatever floats your flugelbinder

Curious absence eh? I think that in the interests of drunkenness, we should possibly have forsaken the noodles. They were a killer

rymus

hmmmmm noooooodles.

Dizzyblabla

right, next time, the car STAYS at home! - although did all you guys really get home for 12?? sure ye must've all left just after me? hopeless!
right, if I leave the car at home though, you all have to stay out later than 12!!

rymus

i went to a bordello after dropping adam home.. one of those spur of the moment type decisions.

the ol' serving time kinda curtailed the fun a smidgin, next time we'll rent a boat and go out to international waters so we can drink, smoke havanna cigars and gamble until our heads explode.

dahamsta

Much to my delight, rymus dropped me home; but 'twas false delight, as I really wanted to go to a bordello and he took me miles out of my way. Bastard.

adam

rymus

and while I remember... I believe you owe me a fiver.

and yes, I still take paypal!

dahamsta

Bugger, what was that bet again? I know the Bee Gees were involved, or not as the case may be...
