    We enjoyed having dinner before the show, very convenient. My chips had lots of burned chip pieces at the bottom, most of the chips were fine. One of our deserts was forgotten.

    Disappointing meal. We ate there in May and were very happy with our meal but on this occasion it was very underwhelming. We were brought the wrong starter initially and when the correct one came .. a goats cheese tart it was literally half a tart. We’d decided to share a starter and it was just a bite each. I’ve never seen that before and it was €17. Fish and chips were poor with the chips overcooked. There appeared to be tension among the wait staff and we just wanted to leave. We were at our table less than 50 mins and moved to the bar. Won’t be back.

    I considered the menu to lack choice , particularly main course (fish , chicken and vegetarian) and the Chicken Brest which I received whilst it had a good flavour was small and very overpriced at "> €30 ", and the service of the suite (ice-cream) took more than 15 minutes leaving me to have consume it quickly as the concert performance was commencing. Disappointing as I love the ambience and experience of an evening at the NCH1

    I would say that I wasn't overly impressed with the food. The ideas presented were not subtle in a any way of what you would have expected. i.e cheese dish was too overpowering.

    The restaurant was lovely and staff very friendly. However service was slow and eventhough we booked a table for 17.30 we were rushing to make the concert at 19.30p. We only had 2 courses. Main course of pasta and pork was not great. Very bland pasta and pork chewy.

    We booked a table for 4 of us to have dinner prior to a show. The booking is easily made through the NCH website. When we got to the restaurant we were guided to our seats and we ordered our starters and main courses. The starters arrived promptly and they were delicious. Our mains followed and they were delicious also. We then ordered desserts and we all loved them. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would highly recommend the Terrace prior to any evening show. Just book a table prior to turning up as the restaurant is very popular
