   Waiter with ponytail, didn’t get his name, couldn’t have been more attentive to our requirements at our table. I hope this guy is recognised for his excellent hospitality skills . He’s a credit to The Cloth Ear staff

   Always loved the atmosphere in The Cloth Ear .. the staff are attentive, helpful and friendly, but for me the food is below par now and not good value for money.

   We had a meal then used a gift token that we had received for port and cheese. The port and cheese was very disappointing to say the least. The cheese was tiny and the port in one glass instead of a selection of 3. The meal itself was good prior to the cheese and port

   Nice atmosphere. Good food at fair price but wine prices were high. Friendly and attentive staff but food and drink service was slow.

   Father’s Day lunch Starters ok Main course - Duck breast ordered by two parties tough like leather could’ve made shoes - breast overcooked and couldn’t be cut with a knife without much difficulty Burger ok but onions very slimy Rest reasonable but presentation and standard of food has dropped since we last ate here Guinness wasn’t great either An expensive lunch for what could only be described as a mediocre meal we shan’t return Pity as staff are lovely

    A bit dissatisfied this time around, no real ambiance and it after 19:30, could have doubled people at the bar yet turning people away because they hadn’t booked a meal, one of our meals was cold and had to go back which was returned fresh. We do like here but this time it just wasn’t great.

    Traveled from Dublin for the roast beef and it was finished. Wine waiter did not know that a wine cooler is not an ice bucket and therefore should not come with ice in it. When informed of this he became rude and abusive. Appalling anywhere but unspeakable in a top hotel

    Main courses were a bit disappointing - we had two Sunday roasts - meat dry and tough, potatoes tasted like frozen supermarket ones, gravy thin and weak, veg bland, Yorkshire pud on the verge of burnt. We didn’t want to say anything to the wait staff because they seemed inexperienced and a bit lost/over busy. Starters were great though.

    Pretty disappointed overall. No atmosphere as it was practically empty but We were still squashed onto a very small table initially in corner of the room Asked for larger table which got eventually after being told they were all booked at first. All other large tables/ booths remained empty for 1.45hr we were there Food was ok, nothing special. Starters nicer than mains

    Looked forward to lunch as last time it was very nice. The quality of the food for the price was unremarkable for the price, the table beside us were shockingly loud, management should have asked them to keep the noise down, it was 2pm lunchtime, this was more like a 2am stag and hen party vibe. If this is they way things are going to go during the cost of living crisis, my hard earned cash will be staying in my pocket.

    Could not fault the food or surroundings…bit of a wait before ordering food and a drink. On receiving the dessert menu we had a 35 minute wait were told the chef was under pressure but I do think our waiter forgot to put in the order. Desserts were delicious which we received free of charge…definitely took the sting out of the wait. Unfortunately I must add we had a bit of a wait for the card machine as well….overall service was fine perhaps our waiter was new to the job!!, Would not let this put me off going back😁

    Been here before, food was brilliant as usual. Took 10-15 minutes to ask what we wanted to drink then another 10 to get the drink. Food came on time and was good. Table behind was loud, much better time when they left. Not sure if I would come back.

    A nice place to have a cocktail. I am not sure if i would recommend this place for food as the 2 dishes we ordered were not so tasty.... However the cocktails are great and the atmosphere as well.

    Food & waiter were good. Manager had a poor approach to moving us off the table. Without warning he arrived with the bill & said next party for the table was already here. He was quite abrupt. We’d had the table for 1 hour 25 mins at that stage. The booking confirmation email didn’t request a return time, but it’s usually 2 hours. We’d watched him do the same at other tables during our meal. We’d come from impeccable service at the cocktail bar in the hotel, so it was disappointing.

    Lunch food was good and not overly expensive; pleasant and helpful staff. Booked a table based on the website photos and description as traditional pub. Slightly disappointing that the reserved tables are in a cramped area at the rear and do not involve the partitioned areas opposite the serving area. I didn't enjoy the noise of the overly close neighbouring tables, being bumped into as other diners and staff passed between the tables and the muzak that was added tended to render conversation uncomfortable. Maybe that is the traditional Irish pub experience (?).
