   This is my first valentines spent with my partner and myself being husband and wife. Food was absolutely delicious and really loved the ambience. Staff are also very polite and accommodating. The best was the salad and the steak, which my wife found as something we would love to come back to have again. Thanks for making our first valentines as a married couple a memorable and enjoyable one. Cheers!

   Very slow service for a half empty restaurant on a Saturday. Took more than 15min for the drinks to arrive. Our starters were not brought out at the same time. Food was ok, portions quite small. I thought it was overpriced for what it offered.

   When in Ireland or the UK, I should not expect good steak. Like some dementia patient, I tend to periodically forget this and then I am rudely reminded of the fact that Irish, Brits and Europeans in general have no concept of what a "steakhouse" or "grill" is. Morelands misleadingly displays a picture of a bone-in ribeye, perfectly charred on a wooden block, on their advertisement pages. Online or in the hotel lift, you see these beautifully prepared steaks alongside a preposterous list of proclaimed accolades. The truth is that this establishment, like almost any other "steakhouse" on this side of The Pond are bloody awful. The ribeye that I ordered (medium rare) was so gristly and tough that my jaw gave out trying to grind that hunk of leather down into a state where it could be swallowed. The steak was completely unseasoned, was overcooked on the outside and leathery dry on the inside. The steak was not properly seared on any sort of open flame, as the outside was the colour of dung and the centre was sickly pink with no juices flowing. That is not medium rare. That is medium-ruined. I may as well have been trying to gnaw apart battleship armour. I spit the hunk of flesh into my napkin and left the entire steak uneaten. My daughter had the same problem. The striploin me missus had was passable, but then again, she is not a steak-eater. So proclaimed her steak to be as good as any that you could get at "Sizzler" in the States. For those who know what Sizzler is, this is NOT a compliment. My sons were dissatisfied with their ribeyes, but being ravenous, they choked it down. The starters were passable, but this is a failure as well. You cannot charge the prices they charge and just be passable. That is almost worse than being simply bad. Their bar cannot make a proper gin martini, their waiter barely spoke English (yes, I am being snobbish because when I am in France I do not expect my server to speak anything other than French). Rubbish. Absolute rubbish!

   Lovely restaurant, good service, nice price fixe 2 and 3 course options. Quiet and sophisticated, perfect for our pre-theatre meal.
