Been here for dinner, drinks and a function, so I've experienced most of what Carrigan's has to offer! I even worked here for one shift before being taken into hospital in August; unfortunately the job couldn't be kept open for me when I was better!
Food in the restaurant part of the venue is absolutely great; I really cannot fault anything, from the service to the food, and having some quiet drinks in the bar is always good because the bar staff are pleasant!
Now, why a 3 star review you may be asking yourself for what sounds like a wonderful restaurant? I'll tell you why. The mezzanine function suite. I attended my Aunt's 70th in here, and the service was absolutely appalling. Stupidly, the sole table they have up there cannot seat full parties, and therefore have to seat any "spare" people at a side table, making them (me being one of them on this occasion) feel totally left out from the party.
On top of this, the side table of outsiders get their food orders/meals served at least 15/20 minutes after the main table, which is just not good enough in my opinion.
So yeah, a very mixed review for this place. Maybe it was just my one off experience in the function suite, but I'm doubtful as the sole table upstairs can only seat I would say 20? Restaurant and bar though? Go for it, you won't be disappointed!
