   I waited for about 20 minutes before someone acknowledged me and to take my order took another 20 minutes. I had to tell someone I wanted to pay my bill.

   Service was awful, as a party of five none of the starters and main meals came out at the same time. For one person in our party, their meal arrived 20 minutes after everyone else. We even had to walk around to track down the server and ask where the food was multiple times. At the end we asked to speak to the manager. After 15 minutes we saw the manager leaving for the evening in gym shorts, it was like he was sneaking out to avoid addressing his mess of a restaurant. The servers were nice but always seemed confused on where to go with the food they had in hand.

    Every bite was delicious, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Each course was fresh and had a imaginative flair to what could have been a very standard offering, definitely recommend the mushroom vol e vonte and rhubarb yoghurt.

    The two course only offering included in the 2 night B&B plus 1 Dinner was somewhat frugal. It was of little consequence to me as I don’t eat dessert. However a three course with say a choice of either dessert or coffee should have been the minimum. For the sake of the small cost involved it’s selling the Hotel short. It would have been more transparent if this was clearly indicated in your offers on the website . Overall for a package deal the quality of the food was good .

    Booked a set menu this was not honoured when we arrived but when I showed the manager our booking and was then agreed to be accepted , service was slow… waited more then 30 mins for drinks order and almost 40 mins to get the bill…as there was much confusion on how to apply the set menu pricing on plus side food was good.

    Very few vegetarian options for an Easter Sunday lunch. The salads looked nice on the menu but I'm not going to have a salad for my Easter lunch!! Staff lovely.

    Garlic bread was really hard and crunchy. Mash had too much salt. Ordered two flavours of ice cream. Had neither but took ages to come and tell us so we had run out of time to have dessert as going to theatre. Everything else was delicious and waiter was lovely. And friendly.

    I have dined in the Metropole many times and the ambience in the restaurant/bar is excellent. I was looking forward to a similar experience this time. On arrival I was told the restaurant was pre booked by a group and even though I had proof of my booking I was directed to a large cold uninviting room at the rear of the hotel. I believe this may be the breakfast room. I would ask why Opentable/Metropole would take my booking for the restaurant when it was unavailable??

    We were given a table in the Bar rather than the restaurant which was very disappointing. We were the only people in the lounge area so the service was a bit slow & food took a long time to come

    We went for the Mother’s Day set menu. Food was lovely, although the portion for main course could have been bigger and served with extra potatoes or veg. Our table was very slow to be served but the staff were lovely and friendly. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the day out. The restaurant was lovely and decorated lovely, and we had a lovely view of the river.

    Absolutely fantastic, the staff were amazing, all smiling and couldn't do enough for you. As it was Mothers Day, all Mothers got a free rose and a small box of Lily O'Brien's chocolates, very nice touch. Food was fab, even the vegan options. Would definitely come again.

    My friend & I experienced an afternoon tea. It was delightful and relaxing. Three tiers of tasty items and pots of hot tea and a glass of Prosecco. The service impeccable. We enjoyed a 2 hour break from the hustle & bustle nestled into comfortable seating. I highly recommend the afternoon tea at the Met.

    Excellent ambience and service. I had the vegetarian pasta and it was delicious. My wife had the chicken supreme which was tasty but a very small portion. Tiny portions of potato and veg.

    We really enjoyed our food and staff was polite and attentive without being invasive. Portions were good. Not very good for vegans but the veggie options, while not inventive were tasty. The restaurant was cold but it could have just been our table as it was directly next to a window and opposite the door.

    Pre booked table. Shown to table and after waiting 10 minutes had to ask for menu. Think they were busy/under staffed. My meal was lovely but my partner ordered fish & chips which was of poor quality and over priced at 16 euros.
