    Very good service. We arrived 30 mins early and were shown to our table anyway straightaway for Christmas Day lunch. Lovely meal, great value. Very efficient and friendly, we felt welcome but would just say a little rushed as dessert came before the main course dishes had been taken up. Otherwise very pleasant experience

    We had the lobster ravioli and sizzling steak. The ravioli had a tasty sauce, but not much lobster. Sizzling steak was underwhelming. Service was very attentive.

    Manager has no customer service skills and cannot deal with conflict in any way apart from shouting at you, all other staff were outstanding.

    We had a great time. Friends recommended O’Donaghue’s and they were right on. The food was delicious (beef stew), the staff very cordial and welcoming and the atmosphere was fun. The Christmas decorations were beautiful!

    My guest and I both had salads. They were generous in size without being overwhelming. Everything was very fresh and well-seasoned. Staff was attentive without being intrusive. Our table was quiet until a large group was seated nearby. The atmosphere is generally conducive to conversation. This is one of my casual go-tos for pre-theater dining. Service is always friendly and efficient.
