Good thing you rushed right home to join Tripadvisor to spread the news lol.

Those timings do not sound unreasonable for dropping in on spec at 7.30pm on a Saturday evening. As for the printer ribbon running out..strikes me that you're looking for things to complain about.

My wife ordered a fish cake starter..... Being in a hurry, I did not order a starter....

Just wondering how you were going to save time here?

Does anyone have another review of this restaurant . a post that is relevant please.

Thanks rally 67 for your experience

I booked a table for 4 in this restaurant for my fathers birthday for a saturday night at 8pm in september. We were seated straight away and waitress took our order. Before that, everything fine but waitress had very little english, had no knowledge of menu. We ended up pointing to what we wanted cause it looked like she hadn't a clue what was on menu. My father and sister ordered steaks, she never asked them how they wanted it cooked because she proceeded on to next person without asking rare etc. During ordering she announced they had no potatoes, which I found utterly ridiculous as it was a saturday night, we had a table booked a week in advance. 'Buy a bag of spuds' I wanted to tell her! There was a big match on that night so good management they would have been prepared for a busy period. We had to ask three times for a ice bucket, dinner was 40 minutes(steaks were asked to be well done but still doesn't take 40 minutes) we were only order in at that time anyway. Meal was average, I wouldn't brag about it or anything but it was ok, I had fajitas. We had desserts but when we'd finished we had to wait around 20 mins for bill. At this stage my sister was really freaking out but I was trying to keep calm for my fathers sake. Definately didn't leave a tip! I think we'll be going to our regular haunt next time, Texas Steakout on oconnell st. Fantastic food, service etc

I cannot understand why, if you were "in a hurry" that your wife ordered a starter and you didn't, it doesnt seem to make sense. Also if you had a problem with service, why didnt you make a complaint to management? I have eaten in The Bank Bar & Rogue-Traders restaurant many times, and I have to say that their food and service is excellent, it has to be one of the best establishments in Ireland and all I have ever heard were glowing reports from anyone that has eaten there. Give them a break, and make your issues known to management, they obviously didnt realise you were disgruntled.

Anyone that is even remotely impressed with the standard of food in this place is very easily pleased.

Without doubt the worst food I (and my girlfriend, brothers and parents) have EVER eaten in Limerick (We're all locals who regularly eat out around town).

And the attitude of some of the bar higher-ups isn't great either.

When you are in a hurry normal things that might not bother you so much tend to be magnified. For example if you were with a group of friend enjoying some drinks you may not have been so fixed on the time. It could have been a bad night for the place...it really depend on who the cook is.

Do not drink the draught beer in the Bank Bar, unless you want to poison yourself.

Ryano - You must think every bar has bad beer.
