Myself and my family made a booking on Saturday for Saturday evening, (which I was surprised to get…read morea booking at such late notice) We arrived and was given a table at the back corner, we ordered drinks and food Our starters arrived, which were nice, but then waited 10 to 15 minutes before r plates where cleared when the mains came My husband had ordered a ribeye steak €32. It was bland and quite fatty for a ribeye No one came to check our table And he ended up, just putting garlic mayo on top with the sauce that was on his plate to give us some sort of taste. My daughter got a tagliatelle which was very smoky Yet again, nobody checked the table. It was probably another 10 to 15 minutes for our plates to b cleared The waitress asked was everything okay my husband said about the steak been bland and fatty also my daughters dish was only 1/2 eaten .....she apologised and that was that !!!!!! Yet again we waited about 15 mins B4 I had to call over the manageress to ask for the bill ( we hadn't even been offered dessert menu and we were out celebrating a bday which I'd have said if we were offers dessert) I told her that the service had been really poor and she shrugged her shoulders and said sorry when the bill came It was €192 and my husband put €200 in the wallet and went to get the car. The girl took the wallet and never returned the €8. We were leaving it for a tip, even though I don't think it was deserved, but we weren't given an option as wallet wasn't returned to table I emailed the restaurant on my return home and received a phone call from the manageress the following evening She explained that they were very busy which I had said was great However, that wasn't my problem. We were paying guests also there was 3/4 tables free around us so they weren't really that busy, but when I said that she said they had been busy from 12 o'clock that day yet again, not my problem and then she went onto say cause of were we were seated they They tend not to see us !!!! I had booked for myself and my parents and sisters to go there for Christmas lunch in 2 days time and in my email I had sent I said I wanted to cancel the booking and on the phone call the manageress ask me, would I come in and allow For the staff to attend to us better than they had done on the Saturday night and I said absolutely no way. Unfortunately Mc Goverins has lost its magic and I could tell one from been able to get a booking two hours before our arranged reservation and two there was tables on the Saturday night before Christmas tables available around us when we were having a meal and when we were leaving. For this reason, I will most definitely will not be back to Mc Governs

Even if you don't go for the early bird, the menu isn't expensive and they cater for everyone. The staff were excellent, so polite and professional, and kept checking on us, even though the restaurant was very busy. We all got starters, and no one was disappointed, one of the girls got chicken wings, amazing! There was enough on the plate for 3 people, so we all had a taste! I got the blue cheese burger with chunky chips and fresh garlic mayo on the side.. This was a task and a half to eat it but was so good I didn't want to leave any. Extremely good value for the high standard of food, I will be back to try more and try fit a desert next time!

A little background, Chef Oliver Dunne had a Michelin star/fine dining restaurant upstairs, but dropped the star and fine dining to focus on the brasserie downstairs. So I knew the food would be tasty. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted and our coats were checked. We were led to our table for 4 in the basement (I noticed the Tapas bar was very lively & busy before heading downstairs). Waiter was friendly; however, he seemed a bit overwhelmed and we would have to remind him of things. Food? Foie gras-tasty and unique presentation. I enjoyed this starter. Pappardelle-w/mushrooms & an egg. Delicious. Overall, my food was Very Good, but I did notice that my husband's fillet was not prepared correctly (he ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium well). I got the impression that he was disappointed with his entree. Thus, some hits and some misses. Finally, while waiting for a taxi that they ordered for us, we were given a tour upstairs where you can now host events. Seems a lovely setting for private events.

I ate the salad which was ridiculously good!!! I HIGHLY recommend it! My son and husband both thought they're dishes were good. The wait staff was okay.

On our three week trip to Scotland and Ireland, our last three days were spent in Kilkenny…read more Our apartment just happens to be above the Butcher restaurant. We arrived early in the afternoon, and once the restaurant opened, we were provided with free smells of wonderfully cooking beef. Our plans were to go explore Kilkenny, looking for a place to eat, as the Butcher did not have any available seats. As l've done with other cities around Scotland and Ireland, I walked in, asked Camila if there were any seats available for four, she said we have one available right now. I scurried back and got the rest of the crew, and we were provided with a wonderful meal. We all chose the daily special, which was a 12 ounce ribeye, which we shared between each couple. We also added in salads, as well as grilled vegetables and sautéed mushrooms. All aspects of the meal were really good. I don't recall the name of the server, but he was very good, along with everybody else on the team who were always paying attention, and provided you with anything you needed at a moment's notice. The restaurant was very busy, and I'm surprised we were able to get a table, but Camila did a great job. Great vibe in the place. A bit noisy at first, but a couple large / loud tables settled their bills and left. Quite pleasant then. Thank you!

But the hostess was an absolute gem. She had even tried calling me and still held our table. That kind of kindness already made me a fan before I even sat down. The food was incredible. I'm not usually into beans, but theirs were so good I kept going back for more. The scallops were perfectly cooked, sweet and tender. And the steak... wow. The flavor was out of this world. I've had some great steaks in my life, but this one took the cake. Every bite was rich, juicy, and unforgettable. I ate all over Ireland, and this was hands down my favorite meal of the trip. If you get the chance, do not miss The Butcher Grill.
