    Lovey location and setting. Tables outside with blankets for the cold! The menu is good and the food is clearly good quality. I just felt like it wasn’t spot on last night like it normally is. They brought out there wrong main first and then just took it away with no apologies or offers of something to tide us over! Tuna was meant to be served rare but was cooked through. Pepper sauce with steak was very watery. Dessert of poached pear was swimming in a very thin liquid that didn’t seem right. Perhaps just having an off night in the kitchen. Would still try again as I’ve had lovely meals in the past.

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience! From being greeted at the door by the host Ritchie and congratulated for our anniversary, to Amanda our waitress playing and drawing with our 2 year old, we were made to feel so special and it is a dinner we will never forget. We loved the food, and were completely spoiled by the staff. We are always so nervous to take our toddler to a nice restaurant, and the guys at the Cornstore not only made us feel so welcome, but made sure our son had the best experience too with colouring, fist bumps and extra candles. :) Thank you all so so much, we already can't wait to return.

    Great food and friendly efficient service. We took my elderly parents there for a celebration and have only good things to say about the excellent food and the friendliness of the very attentive waiting staff. Good value for money given the high standard of the meals we ordered. We'll be back and would recommend the cornstore highly. 9/10

    Lovely restaurant. Very nice menu. Excellent food. We were very well looked after by the wonderful Avinash. He was absolutely excellent. There were two people out of our group of five with allergies and he really looked after them very well. He was very pleasant and attentive. The other members of staff that we dealt with were also very pleasant. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

    Very poor choice on menu's. Don't know if it was just a Sunday menu. Kids gravy was in fact a red wine jus which kids do not like & also kids fries should be plain no seasoning. Service was good.

    Absolutely loved this place, we were 2 families with 2 kids (2& 3 y), at some stage they started crying and the lovely staff offered them crayons and all, so good. The food was 10/10 - I am so happy that I chose this restaurant and it did not disappoint!!

    My second time at cornstore, loved it first time I was there, had to wait 30 minutes for even a glass of tap water and got when I asked again, steak was over cooked and wasn’t reimbursed like promised. Food wasn’t great overall

    I come to the cornstore regularly and the past 3 times me and my partner have been waiting on our side dishes for more than 10 mins We order the steak as our main every time which is not cheap and comes on its own for €30 so the fact we have to pay extra for chips/mash and then have to sit there and wait more than 10mins is ridiculous. I also asked for garlic butter and the butter was so melted it was like oil. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement I have been a fan of cornstore for years but not anymore I’m afraid, ye are slacking.

    It was our first time visiting Corn Store. We were really impressed with the food. The prawn starter was fantastic. My wife was a bit let down seeing as the lamb was only served medium rare. Thankfully she was made aware of this when ordering and was able to make another choice. The Tuna steak and creme brulé we delicious! Our waiter was great. I was very impressed that our voucher, although from 2017 was accepted. The only criticism I have is that my glass was not clean and had lipstic on it. Other than that, we enjoyed our evening at Corn Store.

    Luxurious food without a pretentious vibe. Excellent and attentive service from the staff. Food came out at good timings well spaced out. I celebrated my birthday with dinner there and the little gesture of a free dessert was very thoughtful.

    My husband and I had a lovely evening, the service was promt and very friendly. The food was very tasty and of good quality. We really felt well looked after. Just on a small note, the smell of the Lilies was really very strong, but as always with taste someone else will say it smells lovely, but for me it was really intens eventhough I was not sitting close to them.

    Myself and my wife had a beautiful meal last Sunday evening. The food was fabulous and there was a great choice on the menu. We had Crab brûlée and Goats cheese crostini to start and they were mouthwatering. The rest of the meal including desserts was just as delicious. We had a lovely bottle of Rioja to accompany it. Overall a most enjoyable evening was had and it was also great value. Suffice to say we will definitely be back.

    As always - food etc excellent. As were staff. Our favourite cocktail disappointing tonight ??? Too sweet & seemed to have a little less " volume ". ??? Eton Mess somehow also extra sweet. Mind you many other people would prefer that?? Otherwise everything else perfect.

    We came in after 4 days of travelling around golfing and eating out in nice places - but two of us came away from the Cornstore saying it was without a doubt the best dining experience we’ve ever had - and have talked about it / reminisced on it several times since. There was a small delay with my starter arriving and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive and apologetic - and it was very much worth the wait when it landed. Cocktails were top notch and the steak was to die for. Lovely people, wonderful food.
