The Blazin’ Grill

The food here is great! I ordered the Pan-​Fried Sea Bass, served with pea risotto and chorizo. The risotto was nice and creamy with hidden juicy sundried tomatoes in it. The bass was a little overcooked but was a great dish. My companion was really happy with her steak. Dessert was delicious, we shared a bread and butter pudding and a sticky toffee pudding. The house red was nice too. The staff were a little less prompt and efficient as I would have liked, but all in all I will revisit here.

One of the family suggested here for the bank holiday Monday. We usually head for carvery so it was sort of nice to not have one for a change! The place is next to the square so parking is easy and it’s € 2 for two hours. The place itself is long and narrow and sorta looks half done. Greeted by a nice gentleman who seemed to be the manager we were placed at the bar until the table was ready. We watched the barman Gavin make up loads of yummy strawberry daiquiris. All cocktails where two for € 10. I was the driver for the night so kinda disappointed I couldn’t try them they looked delicious and my mother approved! So the food anyway, they have three courses for € 22 but it’s just the usual chicken wings, soup, steak etc. I wanted something other than what I always have. The starters menu was endless they had goats cheese tarts, pear and walnut salad, foie gras and about 8 more things to choose from. Too much if you ask me. Same with the mains the selection was endless. For some people it’s a good thing but for me I hate it as my eyes are bigger than my belly and I want everything! Ended up getting sea bass with chorizo and a lovely risotto with peas and Parmesan. Really enjoyed it and glad I didn’t have the starter as it was rich and filling. Everyone else had the steaks and wings and enjoyed them. My aunt had soup she’s coeliac so wanted gluten free bread which was no problem they had a huge selection. When the soup came croutons where on top. She didn’t fuss and took them out but the manager noticed, came over and apologised and went to get her a fresh one. The wait for the food was abit long but when it arrived was piping hot and fresh. The deserts where amazing too. All in all everything was good just abit of a wait and the waitresses are abit clumsy. I wouldn’t rush back there’s nothing wow but left feeling satisfied :)

We just had lunch there today. I picked it because it was a steak house, I was looking forward to a good steak!
The service was friendly and helpful.
I can’t understand the restaurant being called steakhouse and seafood restaurant ! There was a choice of a 5 oz minute steak or a burger and a choice of two types of fish on the menu!
My 5 oz steak was more like a 2 oz and was probably the reason it came well done as opposed to medium rare! The burgers and sauces were enjoyed.
Overall the place seemed a bit run down the seating needs to be recovered and there is no on street parking.

I love this place, a real family oriented homely feel, front of house Christian is one of the beast in the game and how one of the big names haven’t poached him I don’t know. The food is delicious and reasonable

We used a great deal through Dealrush. € 45 for 2 course for two, bottle of wine and 2 cinema tickets so in terms of value you couldn’t beat that.
Chicken wings to start for me followed by steak and mash — massive portions and gorgeous! My husband had the burger and fries… There wasn’t a crumb left!
We’ll be back!!!

We tried the garlic bread for appetizer which is diff from how we were accustomed to but still enjoyable. For entrees we had the steak mafia style and risotto. Both were prepared nicely and very tasty. They have a good amount of seating & take reservations.
They offer steaks, burgers, pasta and seafood. Something for everyone here.

This was not a great visit. Firstly, after waiting 15 minutes after our booked time before being seated, we had to wait a further 10 minutes before a waitress took our drinks order. 5 minutes later our drinks arrived but the water for the table which I asked for did not. Another 10 minutes later and our food order was taken.
The tables in the restaurant have a beautiful rustic look as they are cut whole from trees. Unfortunately, the table we were at was so badly made that it was not possible to have a glass sit on it without wobbling.
The starters arrived and were quite nice, although the wings had so much sauce that the last 3 in the bowl were submerged, they were still very tasty.
After starters were cleared, the waitress replaces some of the cutlery. We had to ask her to replace the rest after the mains arrived.
I felt pretty hungry so I ordered the T-​Bone steak for mains. This turned out to be a mistake. The cut of meat I ordered was the most expensive on the menu, however only 3 – 4 bites were edible, the remainder was uncuttable because of the amount if grizzle running through it. This was a very badly butchered piece of meat and no where near the € 28 price tag it comes with. This should have been spotted by the chef and never served.
Finally, when the bill arrived there was a mistake and they had charged us for a drink we never ordered. This was promptly corrected when pointed out.
We found this a great restaurant to visit with a child (which is why I gave 2 stars and not 1) and the kids menu is excellent. But beyond that, the quality and service have take a very large dip since my last visit a year ago. I will not be returning and honestly felt ripped of with what I received for my money.

Was here the other day. Just had cocktails and starters. We had nachos and the blazin wings both were yummy. We got the two cocktails for a tenner (or there 6.50 each) deal with the piña colada and strawberry daiquiri first was good for me coz there was more pineapple whereas my friends had more coconut and though she liked it i wouldn’t have been a fan. Great service good price and not loud at all

I wouldn’t recommend. I ordered a steak with mash potatoes and pepper sauce. the steak tasted good. However nothing great considering the price I paid, and not great considering its a steakhouse (as in there supposed to specialise in steaks) quite frankly, Ive had home cooked steaks by my mother that taste just as good. I ordered chips for a side order and they were basically like Mc Donalds chips. Chicken wings for starters were awful. There was practically no meat on it and the portion was tiny … Desert was very good, coffee and a chocolate tartlet.
Service is quick and the staff are helpful and friendly! The restaurant itself is a bit of a dump.

I’ve been here twice and haven’t been disappointed on either ocassion. I love the way their menu is laid out. If you like steak then this is a great steak house with a choice of 3 types of steak; fillet, ribeye and sirloin then you choose how you would like them cooked i.e. french style, American style etc. and they come served with sauces etc. Staff are very friendly and the owner is attentive but not intrusive. Keep an eye out for their special offers which are also great value and their creamy mash is to die for!

Enjoyed my tmeal on saturday night and all that were with me did too. The price was very good too and have at times found myself spending as much in well known american style diners. I had the surf and turf with a beautiful sirloin steak and really creamy mash it was great. Sadly i could of done with a few more prawns. I got two on a skewer and was left expecting and wanting more.
Some of the tables are quite close together so i cant imaging it is the bestplace for an intimate dinner or if you wanted to have a quiet chat over dinner.
The staff were very helpful and polite with the exception of one who was a bit impatient when we needed a little extra time to read the menu.
Overall I really liked my dinner here and will be back again.
The cocktail list was really impressive and quite cheap too.

Food here was pretty bad and the staff service left much to be desired. The steak I got tasted off, frankly I’ve bought better steaks in Tesco. I specifically asked for no pepper sauce, and guess what? It came with pepper sauce. When I returned it, all they did was scape it off. They advertise a seafood and grill menu, yet offer no surf and turf, no steak and prawns or steak and lobster tail. Avoid.

It’s remarkable that in these hard times we still somehow manage to find the money to fill our bellies at a swanky restaurant while cheering ourselves up at the not inconsiderable expense of the wine list. Well, we all have to eat and logically it does make sense to spend money on good food instead of begrudgingly handing over our hard earned pennies to some random barman.
So, with the beginning of September and the beginning of an early winter I needed some cheering up in the food department and as my little sister needed even more cheering up than I did I invited her along to the new local restaurant which I’ve heard nothing but good things about. One of the better things I heard was that the prices are pretty amazing for the quality you get plus it’s right beside the Luas stop so you don’t need to give a taxi driver half your wages when he invariably gets lost on the way home!
First impressions of the restaurant were surprisingly good with a warm glow from tasteful mood lights offset by the efficient service of the impeccably mannered staff. The food was, of course, the best part! My stuffed mushrooms were perfectly seasoned and dressed beautifully, just the right amount for a starter and in no way too filling. The sisters goat’s cheese was a work of art and we spent more time talking about it than she spent eating it — it was really that good!
For main course we answered the call of the primitive inside us and ordered up a round of medium-​rare steaks which came exactly as ordered but unusually for a steak restaurant they came sitting on a bed of perfectly wonderful mash and a generous sprinkling of mushrooms along with very decent fries. At first I thought they had made a mistake and given us extra sides but they were included in the price of the steak! Amazing!
Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert but we certainly had money left had we wanted one. It’s remarkable that such good food can be sold for slightly more than what Eddie Rockets charges for a crappy burger. All this and right on our doorstep! :o)
