Value review insights for Ireland

*Im a vegetarian so this only applies to those who are joining as the veggie guest to their steak loving partner/friend!* We went New Year’s Eve, staff were lovely (just needed a little more checking in than we got). I had the cheese board for my starter which was honestly ace! Can’t go wrong with a cheese board. But for the main I had the aubergine starter with miso broccoli. Both were supposed to have miso sauces but I couldn’t taste any miso and unfortunately the aubergine was just very burnt and inedible and covered lazily with salad. I understand it being a steak restaurant this isn’t a priority but considering the price it’s worth improving.

3.5 / 5 Delicious food but the dishes are too small to my liking. Value for money is not great. Paying €56 for three courses and at the end being a bit peckish, makes you wonder... Service was fine except advice about wine. They seem not familiar with basic topics. The atmosphere inside is great, but the entrance to the restaurant looks a bit dodgy.

A bit dirty in the dining area. Self serving and so small tables. The plates are plastic and not ideal for eating in. Overall the food was nice and well seasoned.

Easter Bank Holiday, plan was to go for walk and nice meal out,, disappointing is the least I could say. I would leave zero stars if I could. The food is mediocre for the price and to make it even worse it is not even close to authentic Greek You should not call yourself a Greek restaurant. The food feels ridiculously whitewashed. I’m confident the food here poisoned us, It’s the only food I ate in the last 24 hours , we ordered the horiatiki salad it wasn't great as olives were way to salty, hummus was very bland and Tyropita was filled with something but for sure not feta or eggs, briefly mentioned to the waiter and he wasn't sure what was in it.. and better for him not to know... He wasn’t interested even tho we complained bout the pastry thing. definitely don't recommend or will we be back.

-Portion sizes were too exiguous and absolutely overpriced in proportion. I felt some sort of embarassment both when looking at the menu and after being served. -Excessive wait for the main course. Taste was good and as expected. -I didn't feel at ease seating beside a curtain. To summarize the experience, my partner and I, we were disappointed and the experience was meaningless.

... ok, maybe a text message saying "Avoid"... Not very happy at all about this place. Service snotty, pursed lips and all. The mussles where boring and bland. It's not advanced cuisine, this dish, and I have had better mussles and fries for half the prize many times in other places. The fries had that boring run-of-the-mill generic "grill seasoning" that you buy in supermarkets. And that's probably where they found the fries too by the way. The starter with Fried calamari was good but you had to pay extra 2,50 euros... You got three of them on a plate and that was it. Farcical. It's not cosy, just a bit sloppy and at the same time pretentious. It's dirty, a bit greasy and the decor is dated. The food isn't cooked with love and the portions are too small. They have 10% automatic service charge too, not worth it. The bill was risible, very expensive for that kind of bland, uninspired dishes. Avoid.

Visited last Saturday night for a girls night out. We went into the front part and waited a good 15 minutes for 2 drinks when it wasn't very busy. We stood at the bar and over heard another customer giving out to the bar man about waiting for 15 mins for a tonic that someone was getting for him,he was livid. We got a seat for 4 and ordered a bottle of prosecco and it was brought to the table and the waiter promptly left without opening it,it wasn't a screw top it was a cork. I called another waiter over to open it which they did. Once opened it was warm ,we had to request more ice in order to drink the €50 bottle of prosecco. Will never go back service is terrible this is the second time being here and the service was terrible the first time too. Expect better for the prices.

Ryleigh’s was a wonderful experience for my partner and I, in so so many ways. You may have read some of the not so good reviews on here (and there aren’t many of those so that says a lot right there) but I’ll tell you right now those reviews are not accurate. We showed up about 10 minutes before our reservation time and were immediately greeted by a host who welcomed us and took us to our table. The view was stunning, and beyond what I was expecting. Our server, Alice I believe, helped to create the most wonderful experience. She was kind, attentive but not overbearing, and I felt that she genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. That kind of service is rare and exceptional. One thing that stuck out for me early on in our experience was regarding a question I had about the set menu on the website. She wasn’t sure if it was still available, and we were more than happy to order from the main menu, but she insisted on checking for us. That’s when I knew we were going to have amazing service and I wasn’t wrong. She didn’t rush us, she always made sure we were doing well and enjoying everything at the perfect level of attentiveness, and was just simply wonderful. Management, if you’re reading this, you need to give her a raise and make sure she knows how great she is at her job. She’s a keeper, and part of what made our dinner at your establishment so wonderful! The food was also amazing. While I will be honest and say that I do feel it is overpriced and on the expensive side, I was aware of the prices going in. If you’re going to price your menu that high, the service needs to be impeccable and thankfully it was. So the cost matched the experience in my opinion and I was happy to pay for that experience. Everything was well prepared. It was bursting of flavour, and excited us as it was set down on our table - exactly how it should be. The first thing a person does is eat with your eyes and you could see that there was effort put into the presentation of our meals. Not a single bad thing to say about the quality of our food. Stunning with exceptional flavour! A word of advice for anyone reading this. If you’re looking for a great place to dine, this is it - no question. But be responsible for your experience. Book ahead and know what you’re booking. If you want something a bit more quiet and more romantic with amazing views - the outdoor terrace is your spot. If you’re ok with a bit of a busier atmosphere and a higher level of noise, then book yourself a normal table inside. In my opinion, there are 2 different experiences here that the restaurant can offer. Overall, Ryleigh’s is a place not to be missed! Thank you Alice for helping to create such a wonderful experience for us! You’re an absolute gem!
