As a return visitor my fondness for the Bodega is largely fuelled by nostalgia, for when it first opened in the 1990s it was well ahead of its time in combining sophistication and comfort with a large open plan layout in a beautiful refurbished building - a formula which has since been applied in numerous other locations. The Bodega has not lost its appeal, and upstairs provides a tasteful separate space for private functions.

The Irish pub is an institution in rapid decline here in Ireland, so it's a very special treat to find a hidden treasure like The Old Mill Bar & Restaurant and to experience the warm welcome, refreshing pints and superb quality food at very affordable prices. The Old Mill is a local Irish Pub steeped in history and I would highly recommend exploring this pub gem for yourself and make sure to ask for the owner Tony when you get there... he could talk the hind legs off a donkey... :)

We started our Whiskey Walk tour here. Such an inviting entrance that leads into a wonderfully comfortable indoor dining set up. There is outdoor seating as well as you continue back which is lovely on a good day. The Margareta Pizza was delicious and was made with fresh dough. Selection of beer and whisky is quite impressive.

Visited last year & had a meal quickly forgotten, gave it another chance this year as the reviews generally continue to be positive & wondered if we’d just made bad choices, but definitely won’t be going back again. Chowder was overly salty, bacon special was dry & over cooked. Dishes on other tables looked heavy on the grease. Final chance, not to be repeated.

After touring the Blarney castle my wife was on the hunt for a sweater. Right next door to Christys is Blarney Woolen Mills so it was very convenient for me to go sit in the bar while she shopped. Service was good and I did have my eye on the vast array of deserts but decided to pass. Hmmmm they looked spectacular!

We had dessert and drinks here while in Blarney. They are very busy so it took a long time for the servers to come to our table and they rarely checked on us, even by Irish standards. The desserts were ok and drinks were good. At the end we asked for water. My sister took a few sips and then realized that there was bright pink lipstick marks on the glass... she does not wear lipstick. Thankfully this was at the end and we had already eaten our food or else we may not have been able to stomach it. You have to go up to the bar to pay; they do not give you a receipt/ticket to take up there. Not took many choices in Blarney to eat.Dear Ashlee, I was shocked and dismayed upon reading your review, and I would like to apologise unreservedly, we obviously did not reach our usual high standards on this occasion. Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention, I can assure you that I have made all our staff and management aware of your complaint.SincerelyRuth O Connor

Blairs Inn

Reviewed By 170Annette18

We recently visited here with our family who live close by. It was late afternoon and we had just traveled 2 hours. I didn’t want a big meal so I asked could I get a double portion of the pasta that was on the children’s menu. I didn’t ask for any part of the menu to be changed. Just a double portion. The answer was “No”. That was it. I said ok I’ll have the child portion so. A small portion of pasta (not fresh pasta) 3 tiny pieces of chicken topped with a spoonful of red sauce, completely cold. When my husband went to pay the manager he told him what happened. His reply was “We don’t change our menu for customers”. He couldn’t have been any more rude. While I was standing there beside my husband he actually said he’s “she’s a picky eater”. This restaurant has had awards in the past, I think they are well out of date by now. The food is in general is average and the pub is not exactly spotless and is out dated. Couldn’t recommend it.The children’s menu is for children only. The pasta’s not fresh pasta as you stated but it’s there for children who don’t want anything else on offer. A stop gap if you will. Not our specialty in the least. We simply don’t have the time, nor the inclination. Everything else we do though is made from scratch. Let’s just say pasta’s not exactly coursing through our veins. Moreover we keep the salt content down to an absolute minimum for children so the dishes are not suited to an adult palate.Perhaps all this was lost in translation. I will most definitely be addressing the front of house team with this complaint. Though I’m having difficulty understanding why you insisted on eating a child’s pasta dinner when there’s such a range of choice on the main menu. There’s certainly no such thing as a flat “No.” here. And nobody said, ”We don’t change our menus for our customers.” We simply do not possess the Gallic flair to pull that one off. Honestly I’d give it a go, but it be would just hilarious. Furthermore my brother Richie, to whom your husband was speaking, assures me that he did not refer to you as “a picky eater.” It was in fact your husband who said this. We will continue to bend over backwards for anybody with special requirements or needs, no matter how unusual. For instance one of our chefs is busy right now preparing a vegetarian pie with a side of sausages (all sausagetarians welcome by the way). Some vegans came in unannounced a few weeks ago in the middle of a crazy Saturday service and we were only too delighted to put a few dishes together for them. People often come in looking for half portions and we’re more than happy to oblige where possible. Honestly nothing is too much trouble. We certainly do our level best to please. There’s no harder working, more dedicated kitchen team out there. We’re never happy to stand still. We are only too aware that we’re only as good as our last meal served. Nobody’s resting on any laurels out here. And there’s certainly no screaming prima donnas. Believe you me my mother would clip them around the ear! We’ve got too many small mouths to feed. I’ve got three rapscallions myself. They love their food by the way. They’ve a particular fondness for shellfish. Costing me a fortune! Our kids menu doesn’t quite cut it for them. In fact the more adventurous children out there often stray on to the adults menu. Nothing more satisfying than seeing a child tuck into a bowl of our delicious mussels, or go for one of our goat cheese, smoked salmon & creamed leek tartlets (incidentally, my favourite in betweeny snack and dinner item). In short we’re striving every single day to build something that we want to hand down to our next generation (God, help them!). And please don’t be afraid to present us with any special requests or requirements. We will always endeavour to please. I just honestly wouldn’t go for the pasta.

We were very much looking forward to try this restaurant after reading the comments.... what a disappointment!!! we took both platters (meat and fish) and nothing was good. The seafood seemed to be frozen and re-heated and the meat dish was not good. Either the restaurant is living on its good comments and has let its standards down or it really need to do its menu again.The staff was however professional
