    Everything was fantastic from the moment we arrived. We had a booking and were seated straight away. The tables were a nice distance apart and we were promptly approached by a friendly waitress. Food was served very fast and was nice and hot. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    The waitress came to the table quickly and was really friendly. We are a family of 5 and ordered 3 adult meals and 2 kids meals. The kids meals were fine but we were disappointed with the other mains. Overpriced and food was not great.

    We were running late, called them and they were very accommodating and helpful. Food came quickly and was good. Service run smoothly. Only negative was that the dessert was a let down. We chose pavlova, but the meringue wasn’t good at all. Otherwise happy with everything.

    Food was poor. I had the curry and the chicken was not fresh . It had being chicken that was cooked previous days or that’s what it tasted like. The coffee was like Easter also otherwise it was good.

    Food was very poor. Like something you'd cook at home, but in the 90's. Very dated like. Which you'd get over if it was tasty but everything except the desert was flavourless. Got x2 mothers day set menu at €33 each so I presume the screw cap house red is €30 as the bill was €96. Seemed an insane price for house wine so I checked Market Lane in the city and their house wine is under 30 so, ya I think the wild goose might be reaching a bit there. Overall a lot of money for such a low standard of cooking. Desert had some flavour though. Obviously wouldn't recommend. Plenty of staff and they were very helpful and friendly. Not very well trained though- didnt know which of the wines were red and which were white

    Not bad a place place for casual dining. Sizes of food is plentiful and Irish cuisine quite tasty, however I would avoid any Italian dishes - you have no idea how to properly cook Italian food, it was bad, basically soggy pasta - awful. Place a little too shabby for special occasions and the close proximity of production plant doesn’t help. I have expected a bit more of your 4.6/5 stars I saw when booking a table. I would probably recommend for a quick dinner but would stress to keep to Irish food. Your carbonara should be thrown out from the menu.

    I understand it was a busy morning but food was over cooked, some food items were missing and was never brought to the table, they were out of Nutella but didn’t let you know and changed the order to maple syrup when some children don’t eat that.

    Always a great place to eat. I was with a group of five and there was something on the menu to suit every taste and pocket. Food was freshly prepared and very plentiful. Location is excellent, plenty of parking. Service is efficient and a great Christmas buzz about the place. Would highly recommend the Wild Goose.
