We came in here for a quiet bite to eat, very small and dingy. Highly disappointed with the food, bland, dry and boring. I do not recommend and I will noy be returning.

We had travelled all day and were very tired. We had seen reviews of this place and decided to let Trip Advisor reviewers make the decision as to where to eat for us. A wise move. My steak was cooked to perfection and my partner had the 19 Euro 2 course meal - pretty good value. Both meals were very... More

Visited this bar for lunch with the family last year and couldn't remember the name this year but knew the location. Sought it out again as the food and the music was good and our first experience in the bar was great. This visit didn't disappoint either. Varied menu, generous portions, tasty food - good pub grub. No live music... More

Let's start with the caveat that I am not a regular pub goer. We wanted lunch on a busy bank holiday weekend and saw some favorable reviews in a couple of guide books. When a place aspires to be a "gastro-pub", I expect a little higher food standard. The menu was varied, but based on out entrees, a Moroccan spiced... More

Many in our group ate at Marble City and not one of us was disappointed. I got some cream cheese stuffed pasta dish (that doesn't appear to be on the menu anymore) and it was to die for good. I wish I would have asked for at least the ingredient list so I could try to replicate it at home.... More

Stopped by the High street side of this ever popular bar and tearooms, and had a late lunch. Opted for a Thai red curry, which was really quite good, with nice flavours of coconut milk and ginger coming through, and a decent serving. Service was fast, efficient and friendly, from a very warm and welcoming Irish girl, although have had... More
