   Beautiful cafe, nice food and the staff are nice and hardworking. My only issue was the noise. It was incredibly noisy. Empty dishes and cutlery are sorted at the front of the bar. This should be done in the back. I could see other customers reacting to the noise from this also.

   Full Irish breakfast not great. Rashers very very salty, and dried out as if cooked 2 hours before. Sausages seemed deep fried and pudding not great. Wpuldnt recommend

   Ambience very nice , staff lovely bit food poor - poached eggs on sourdough and avocado- bread was hard and cold - eggs were also asked soft and they were well done- my husband asked for mushroom and poached eggs- bread also hard and cold - we could not cut into food - we gave it back - I then just asked for a mince pie - as manager was lovely offered coffee on house and something - I got mince pie cold and no offer of cream - I asked them to take back heat it and bring cream - I believe this is a training issue for local culture on food - staff are lovely - we are regulars to Avoca. It’s not cheap so we could not accept the food we got

   I have been a regular patron at the fodder restaurant as Iive close by. I attended for lunch with a friend on Saturday and it was the most appalling service I have had anywhere in a long time. We were left sat at our table for 15 minutes initially where we were not given menus or water. We had to go up to the till to ask to be served. We were also under time pressure and asked what could we order that wouldn't take long, the manager (the only person of the staff in a black shirt) rolled her eyes at me and said eggs and avocado were our only option. I ordered a coffee and a scone, my friend ordered the eggs and avocado. Eggs an avocado were served within 5 minutes, I waited a further 20 minutes for a scone, it arrived at the table 5 minutes before we were due to leave with no apologies. The attitude of the staff was very poor, as was the level of English spoken and understanding our asks. It has massively put me off visiting this restaurant in future,

   Excellent brunch experience this morning, I brought my 10 month old baby and the staff were so hospitable and accommodating and provided a small baby portion of food for her. The manager on duty was so helpful and the food was exceptional! We will definitely be back!

   We waited 50 Minutes for our food to arrive for brunch today. Very disappointing . In spite of asking to see the manager and asking staff I was abruptly told it was the kitchens problem. If we had been warned the food would be slow there would have been no problem.
