The Official PROC Restaurant review thread.

I went to Market Lane last night, not somewhere I'm mad about in general tbh.

Very hard to get a booking, and to be fair it was jointed at 7pm. Lots of middle aged girlies and the likes.

The staff were exceptional I must say, very attentive and friendly. Almost too friendly to the point it felt artificial.

My biggest complaint with this place is how they over complicate their menu. I didn't recognise around 70% of the items listed on their menu, which made it difficult to choose a dish.

Tonkatsu sauce, pickled mooli, furikaki, dukkah, pickled kohlrabi, hispi cabbage, yakiniku gaze, Aleppo dressing... etc.

I'm sure I sound like an absolute amateur to the more seasoned diner, but if I've to do so much analysis of what I'm actually ordering then I lose interest very quickly.

I ended up going for a steak, as at least I knew what to expext. €35. Was grand.

I go from time to time if we have visitors with work, it’s grand not terrible not amazing.

I don’t think I’d spend my own money on it though.

I wasn't paying, but I wouldn't be going there off my own back either.

It was actually me who suggested it as we needed somewhere in town, and really there aren't that many options for a semi nice restaurant. Greenes and Jacobs are too formal, I've never been to Jacques, and then the likes of Goldie are just too busy now. It was heaving when I passed last night.

I was in Jacques recently and it was very poor.

I wouldn’t go back

Ms. MoE was feeling quite down yesterday due to getting some bad news about her dad, so I treated her to dinner in Gallaghers, going against all our best intentions of saving money at the weekends.

We both had the roast pork and it was absolutely unbelievable. I'd usually turn my nose up at pork but I always order the roast in Gallaghers regardless of what it is.

Two mains, a coffee, and six pints - €82. I gave the waitress €90 as the service is always absolutely top class tbf.

The place was packed as always but I got the impression we were the only locals. It was all yanks around us.

That's shite for 40 euro, I would expect dessert and lap dance for that kind of money to be honest

Well the 6 pints were hardly free...

No need to be harsh, my local Circle K does the same for less than 10 euro, the most I was charged was 14 and it looked much better than what you put up here

I also got chips on side, never asked for them though

Yes I apologise for my outburst

Your local Circle K does roast pork?
