    The service was slow. The food was ok but I had the sea bass and the portion was tiny more like a starter portion, the green beans were undercooked. Overall it was not good and certainly not good value. The room is nice and the staff are pleasant but they did not appear to be very experienced. I would not be hurrying to go back.

    Lovely pre show dinner with prompt service. The staff managed very well considering we all needed to be finished at the same time to get to our seats for the start of the show.

    Not a great menu. No non-meat sandwich option and only salad as non meat main option. Forgot to bring out the 4th persons lunch , then arrived late with no apology. Not cheap either.

    Always enjoy eating at the Terrace and the staff are very nice. This wasn't my best experience as food was served a little cool but it was a busy evening given it was New Years Eve. But I will be back.

    Having been to the national Concert Hall before I was expecting great things. We arrived an hour and a half before the show and were promptly seated. One member of our party is vegan and we rang ahead to ensure there would be an option available which we were told there would be. Lo and behold when it comes time to ordering our waitress said that the vegan option was very popular tonight and unfortunately she could provide a soup and salad instead. We told her that we rang ahead and were ensured of a vegan main being available, we even told her the name of the person we were speaking to. She rushed off to the kitchen and came back 10 minutes later saying chef said he would try his best. She didn’t even say what the option was. I ordered the beef which I asked for well done and she said it’s served medium rare so we can get you all in to the show on time but I’ll ask for them to cook it well done for you. Already we felt we were being rushed. I even said that if it was a problem I would order something else. She ignored me. The food arrived an hour later and my beef was not only medium rare but it was cold, so was my mother’s ham and turkey and my sister’s vegan option was a bowl of beans with some carrots which we were charged €25 for. I would not return to the restaurant based on this experience.

    We had a pre concert meal in The Terrace Restaurant this week and it was very enjoyable indeed. The soup of the day was perfect for a cold evening, we both had the evening special of roast chicken that was very succulent, tender and full of flavour. This was followed by a hazelnut pannacotta and a cheese board, again both delicious. Our server was so pleasant and efficient we found all the staff to be courteous and friendly. We would highly recommend dining at The Terrace.
