    We did not have the best experience at MacNeills - we got seated in a corner with no menus until we got someone’s attention almost 5 minutes later. We eventually got our order taken but no one ever checked on us. As I work in hospitality myself I understand the staff can be under pressure on a busy Friday evening however it shouldn’t have been a struggle to serve the amount of tables they had in at the time we were there. It’s a pity as we were really looking forward to our evening and the place itself is very cosy and the food is also good.

    This spot was a nice find. We had the Irish Tapas including the Buffalo Cauliflower and nachos chips. For the main course the braised sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich. Both were delicious. They had traditional Irish music playing live which added nicely to the atmosphere. It was a very cozy spot on a rainy and windy evening.
