Atmosphere
Positive experience.
The staff war super nice, manly the lady manager, really welcoming.
The only thing is that the teapot 🫖 had a leak so it poured some water on the table. For the rest good vibe and style.
The restaurant's location is excellent, and the meal vouchers from our hotel were a great start. The food itself was fantastic, which made our experience even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the service was atrocious. We were not attended to at any stage during our meal, and no one checked if we wanted more drinks. We also had long waits for our food and had to flag down staff just to get the bill. It was disappointing to see what looked like a lack of training or management, as staff seemed to stand around talking to each other instead of helping customers. The poor service completely overshadowed what should have been a wonderful meal.
We visited McGettins on our first night in Limerick. It was the restaurant/bar inside our hotel, Limerick City Hotel. We actually were going to go somewhere else but they gave us a $5 voucher per person upon checkin. It was a great business move, because it did entice our hungry tired selves to just venture down there instead of go outside of the hotel. We went around 6:30 pm and there were minimal people, most likely due to it being a Monday night. I ordered the Carbonara and my partner ordered the fish and chips. The food came out very quick, within 10 minutes of us ordering and it was very hot. They were both delicious, I even preferred the fish and chips here to the one I ordered at Locke Bar down the street the next night. We also ordered an Orchard Thieves for the first time and it was refreshing and not too sweet for a cider. I took off a star for service because we were a bit confused how it all worked. We were told to sit wherever but weren't sure if we were supposed to go find someone to order or if someone would come to us since both servers/bartenders were behind the bar. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere though with comfortable seating and fun decor.
