€55 early bird.
At last thanks to the recession I could try this much lauded establishment. For many years its been far too expensive to consider.
While €55 isn't cheap, compared to the staggering a la carte prices (€48 for a steak main course) makes it an absolute bargain.
So for €55 you get 4 courses from a slightly reduced menu.
Starters include: mussels, ham and pea soup, smoked salmon, caesar salad.
Mains include: new york striploin steak, filet steak, pork shank, and roast cod.
Sides of onion rings, mashed potato, and vegtables are provided.
Deserts: chocolate fondant, omelate souffle, bread and butter pudding.
First opinions. The room and service is all very good as you would expect. For me Menu isn't very exciting. Most dishes are old favourites, nothing really exciting. As you would expect for an American style steakhouse portions are generous.
So generous in fact that I asked for a doggie bag for my pork. First time ever in Ireland. They even threw in one of their mini Bread loaves.. a nice touch... That doggie bag served as dinner for 2 the following night.
Filet steak was good. Sirloin steak not as good. bit dry. In fairness I've cooked as good myself.
Overall it was crowd pleasing stuff. Even with the discounted rate it was expensive though. I'd go again but not in a hurry
