My husband and I spent two weeks touring a large amount of Michelin reviewed restaurants and this…read morewas the one that fell completely flat. My husband got the shrimp cocktail salad...it came absolutely saturated in sauce. The lettuce was cheap iceberg along with tiny fishy shrimp. There was nothing impressive. When I asked the waitress if she recommended the pecan chicken or the pulled pork, her only response was "well you can have chicken any day". No recommendation regarding flavor/texture. Lastly, our water was frequently empty, silverware fell off while plates were being set down by staff, wait staff seemed uninterested and rude. Overall just an odd experience and we were hoping for so much more.

We had a great dinner here. We arrived around 7:30 and the place was empty. There was only one…read moreother table dining. We ordered a bottle of French Merlot and it was quite good, soft and velvety. For appetizers, I had a goat cheese dish and my wife had the crab cakes. The crab cakes were tasty but lacking of crabs. For the main course I had the mackerel and my wife had the chicken. Both were solid, good dishes but did not have that special push to bring them up to a five. For desert, I had the chocolate cube and my wife had the creme brûlée. Both were excellent. One of the highlights of this dinner was the wait staff. They were truly outstanding and brought the experience up to a five. By the time we left, most of the tables were occupied. We are pleased that we ate here.

Just a stones throw from Trim Castle, Franzinis is a family-friendly restaurant that offers some of…read morethe largest portions you'd find...it's Trim's version of the Cheesecake Factory! My Trim friends go here every Sunday afternoon with their families and I can see why. The portions are huge...the Ribs JR starter could have easily been a main. The menu is rather expansive and covers everything from Italian pasta, to French favourites like Duck a l'orange, to American Buffalo wings to Asian-inspired dishes like hoisin chicken. Yet despite this globe trotting offering, the food is actually quite good. Service is friendly and very quick. And did I mention that the portions are ginormous?!? The early bird menu is great value too at under 20 euros for a starter and main. I've been twice now and definitely would go back next time I'm in Trim.

I enjoyed a Beautiful Breakfast in the Anvil this morning. The Staff were very friendly and…read morehelpful. I would recommend it.

I have had breakfast and lunch at the Anvil and enjoyed my food on both occasions…read more For lunch I was being good and so ordered the grilled chicken salad with mixed veg which was full of flavour. The mixed veg was a nice addition. As the veg was hot it made the meal more hearty than your usual salad. For breakfast I was feeling hungover so decided to go for their 'traditional' breakfast rather than one of the healthy protein filled options on the menu. The breakfast comes with homemade brown bread or toast and tea/coffee. The highlight was the tasty sausages! Friendly staff and a bright light filled room makes the Anvil a good choice if you are in the area.

I visited this restaurant as a recommendation from a local while visiting Newry for meetings. I…read morereally wanted to try traditional Irish fare so I was a little disappointed when I saw nachos on the menu but I decided to give it a try anyways. They have a lot of different menu items so I decided to ask the server for local food items. She advised that the mussels, calamari, haddock and ribs were local so we opted for a large bowl of mussels and regular size plates of haddock and ribs. They had a lot of interesting choices from all around the world but I like to taste the local ingredients when in traveling. We got the mussels in the white wine cream sauce and I was very happy with that choice because they were so fresh and almost sweet. My dinner companion was not happy that this mussel was tiny. It didn't bother me. The Haddock boujons were perfectly cooked and crispy. They came on top of a little mashed potatoes with mushy peas. For the final plate we got the ribs. They were heavenly, I almost want to say the best I've ever had. The reason. Why is because the meat was tender like butter. The flavor was delicious but it wasn't heavy or heavily smoked like the libs in the USA. They were like air. Not sure if that makes sense but it's the best way I can describe it. For dessert we got the Bailey's cheesecake. It was so smooth that it was like a mousse. Soooo good. The house wine was an insanely good Sauvignon Blanc. The service was great. They were very attendant. The ambience is casual which I liked. The only negative mark o can give is that the beer on draught is German. I was dying for a pint if Irish beer and had to settle for a bottle. I would recommend this restaurant. Everything we had was good

Nice ambiance and everywhere looked clean…read more Liked that seating was spacious enough that we weren't on top of other dinners but it was a bit annoying that staff kept kicking my chair while coming from the pass for dishes. Meals looked lovely and well presented. I went for the Beer battered fish option on lunch menu and my request for mash potato instead of the frozen chips was honoured. Unfortunately potatoes cold and even the warm dish they served in didn't improve temperature so I just had to eat some mash with every bite of fish so the meal wasn't spoiled. Not that I would have wanted the potato microwaved but they should have been tasted or checked before serving. Fish was oozing grease so had to soak it off both sides with the napkins. Fish should have been left to drain off a bit while the potatoes were being warmed. Anyway my sons huge Buttermilk Burger & chips went down a treat. Loved that tea came in a non drip teapot but would have been nicer with a spoon of sugar. After seeing my son drop 2 sugar lumps trying to retrieve them from a tiny jar that teaspoon didnt fit in put me off having any, especially realising that only little fingers could fit in that jar and wondering if the lumps fall out on others 'do they just pop them back in jar again'? More hygienic way of serving sugar should be looked at. Having seen the dinner menu I am interested to go back again and give the Hudson Rooms another try. The ambiance, pleasant staff and competitive pricing has warranted at least another visit with higher expectations.

Great location with outdoor seating over the beach (3.5/5 green stars)…read moreI just reviewed the Relish café at Southgate in Drogheda so I'm taking a trip down memory lane to review this Bettystown branch of Relish. I've been here twice over the last few years and both times it was an enjoyable experience. Coffee drinks were good (better than the Southgate branch) and my veggie dishes were very tasty too. Probably the best thing about this branch is the outdoor seating that looks out over the beach. A few years ago I had the veggie stack for lunch but I think that has been replaced by vegan taco. Nice to see a totally vegan option on the menu (and some vegetarian options too). I'm also giving Relish Bettystown 3.5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. * They have a reasonable number of vegetarian/vegan items on the menu but could do with a few more. * Most of the meat dishes contain chicken, which is more sustainable than beef. * They use free-range eggs and organic bread for the French toast. * The website says that Relish uses "fresh and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers" but could be a bit more forthcoming with details. I wrote to them for more info but didn't hear back. For a few items, such as cheeses, they do name their sources. Would be nice to know where things like coffee beans come from. Interested in writing green star reviews? If so, contact me!
