   Service was quick, staff were really pleasant and polite and we generally had a good time. I wish we could have stayed longer.

   Not much choice on the menu. Portions were quite small. Not good value for money.

   Starters and mains perfectly cooked and plated. We had the cheese platter as a dessert which was disappointing and overpriced, the grapes served with the cheese were definitely past their prime. The service was good and the staff attentive and polite but need a better knowledge of the drinks from the bar. We ordered port which was served over ice ...

   Overall very disappointed by the Gibson offering We went as 3 ppl for a christmas catch up Restaurant / Bar is a big hall that was empty. 3 Couches that would host 3 ppl that were not ideal for eating. Menu was over priced and not even well thought out, when food arrived starter was warm on top cold on bottom, Food wasn't as described one of my party didn't eat it. Dessert again were bought it re heated offerings I sat there thinking i would of been better off in Eddie rockets or Camile Thai that are near to you, we choose there as the Gibson has such a good name but our experience was awful Will i be back no There was no atmosphere in the Bar, it was cold and un welcoming, Qr codes on the table not very welcoming very cheap english pub vibe

   The food was nice however we ordered nachos and for an extra €7 added chilli beef but we found this to be very scarce. It wasn’t a lot. And just for the price, we expected more. We got wings and chips. Wings were spicy absolutely delicious. The chips were not great, very soggy. We never got water or wipes with the wings which I thought was strange. The Guinness my boyfriend got wasn’t great. Very flat so just wouldn’t get that again. But the pints and wine were nice.

    The kids meals were terrible & for the price it just didn’t feel value for money or good food.
