Great atmosphere and service was brilliant, the waiters and waitresses were very attentive and professional. Starters were great, the mains were ok, desert seemed to be a store bought meringue with a few raspberries.

I am a regular customer and conrstore was my favorite restaurant. Yesterday's dinner was very disappointing. They have changed the menu and not for the better. We ordered the duck and tuna. The duck portion is smaller than before, they gave me a super small leg that was dry with no sauce. The contour before was the perfect companion. When I told the manager he told me that they change the ingredients depending on the session. Baby potatoes in Ireland are available all year round. With what I do not understand. The tuna was also a small portion and decorated with three kilos of mayonnaise completely ruining the dish. And all this for the same price as before.

The food was lovely and tasty, however our waiter was so enthusiastic he came to our table possibly more than 12, 13 times, consistently interrupting our conversation which became quite annoying as it was every 5 minutes. Asking if everything was OK, did we want another drink, etc, at least 5 times whilst we were having our mains alone. We were a group of 3 ladies one of whom lives abroad and booked here as we have before to have a nice catchup but I really feel the waiter ruined it a little as it was so excessive it was difficult to maintain conversations being interrupted every 5 minutes. Also whilst eating desert I put my fork down a couple of times and each time was asked if I was finished. The plate was half full. I felt rushed to a point I just said yes take it the second time I was asked. I have always had a pleasant experience here but this time it wasn't as enjoyable as previously.
