We are from the States, and are in the third day of our first trip to Ireland. Been in probably…read more5-6 pubs thus far, in Dublin and Clonmel area. Tierney's was the most charming, cozy, and inviting of all of them (one in dublin was a close second in ambiance). What really set this pub apart, however, was the exceptional food. Had the chicken breast with sausage (can't recall the name but it's the most popular one). My wife had the chicken a la ritz. Mine was better, but hers was good since she likes mushrooms. Also had dessert, strawberries pavlova, fantastic. As soon as we walked in we were warmly welcomed by the single bartender/waiter, who already had a fairly full house on a Thursday night. Seated us in back, great cool environment, ripe for conversation. He was quick (most of the pubs seem to operate on one speed, which is probably irish tradition) and gave advice where requested. You can get pints of beer anywhere, but the combination of drink, food, ambience, and service really made our night. We are mid-40s, and the crowd was two groups of younger people and multiple groups of similar age, so while you may find the norm to be older locals, the place has earned a place for younger respectful crowds as well.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive (especially the manager Ming), they always recognize you (if you frequent more than once) and their positive attitude makes the place a fun and relaxed place to dine. I LOVE spicy food, so I usually opt for the a trio of pork, chicken and shrimp with egg fried rice with spicy szceuchan sauce to boot! Delish! Also, while many other similar restaurants would avoid putting too much shrimp in such a dish (as it is relatively expensive on their part) I am always impressed with this place as they don't scrimp of the shrimp! Their main courses are fairly substantial, so if you don't have a hearty appetite, perhaps skipping the starters would be ideal! That being said, the spring rolls are a must if you feel up to the challenge! Have often frequented the place on special occasions, e.g. birthdays, and the manager always brings out a free dessert for the VIP and the staff all sing happy birthday, which is a real treat, the cherry on top so to speak! Takeaway service is also an option, and there is a seating area available for those waiting to collect their order, with newspapers and magazines to read while you wait. There is also free Wifi, which is always a bonus!

Friday night I ate at Emperor's Palace after catching up with friends at Phil Carroll's…read more I was curious to try Chinese food in Ireland. As I drove through much of Ireland even the smallest of villages had at least one Chinese restaurant. There didn't seem to be any other ethnic restaurants apart from your occasional spotting of an Indian restaurant. So being the adventurous person that I am, I decided to try Emperor Palace. First of all, the manager Ming is a real delight. He made sure we were looked after from beginning to end. I really appreciated his hospitality. The other staff members were wonderful as well. We started with what is called lettuce wraps (in the US). I don't know what's is called on the menu but it's ground beef, spices, and cups of lettuce. It was delicious. For a main course we had a couple of sauteed lobsters, served on top of lo mein noodles. We had a side of asparagus. Everything was very good. Believe it or not, they make a delicious Irish coffee. I highly recommend it. Do stop by if in the Clonmel/Cashel area. Enjoy!

All of us left, feeling very full and we'll definitely be recommending this lovely restaurant to family and friends. A big thank you to the staff for a lovely and enjoyable evening.

A quiet little restaurant located on the outskirts of the town it had a lot of charm and appeal…read more The first issue I had was the menu was completely different to what they had online which is extremely annoying as you build up a picture of what you are going to eat and look forward to it. The food was pretty poor, overcooked vegetables, chips that were more like oven cooked wedges and my beer battered fish had the appearance of something you would pull out of a box from the frozen food aisle. Having worked as a chef in an award winning seafood restaurant I felt embarrassed for the owner that she thought it was acceptable. The restaurant states on their Facebook page to be an "Irish Restaurant", serving home cooked Irish food but their menu has a mixture of Italian, Indian, British and a couple of Irish dishes. The food was of pretty low standard and some might find this acceptable; for me it was just not acceptable to serve such poor quality food.

I think some of the prior reviews are a little unfair. It's a busy cafe that has been serving the…read morearea for many years. It's a nice, no frills cafe that provides outside seating in the summer (or did during Covid time). I've had full breakfasts here and coffee. The food has been good and we never had any service issues. Today the flat white did get cold pretty quickly but I was chatting so perhaps I took too long. There is a deli counter as you enter the cafe, toilets for customers, and a big central ceiling heater that warms you up on a winter day. There was a dog in a purse inside the cafe so I presume they allow dogs ( perhaps in purses only?).... The place is not large enough really to support this, but that's an owner decision.

Having heard about Niamh's from a friend, my husband and I decided to give it a try and went in for…read morelunch today. It was extremely noisy - children playing with loud toys, mothers shouting at them for whatever the reason, and people chatting in very loud voices. We had hardly looked at the menu when a waitress came to take our order so we both ordered the same meal. We ordered BLTs with chips and lattes and the lattes were served immediately and were gone before we got the BLTs. The waitress who served our meals came and placed them on the table without as much as a look or a word to us and disappeared before I could ask for vinegar. I watched as other customers were served and it was the same - no interaction between waitresses and customers. We decided to just eat our meal and leave as quickly as possible but it took some time to digest because the bacon was as tough as old boots and the knives were blunt. Nobody came back to our table to ask if we would like dessert or if everything was to our satisfaction. I won't be returning to Niamh's in the future. There is a good fish and chip shop close by where the food is good and the service is excellent.
