    <comment>was in cork for the weekend - 
stumbled across this place and was pleasantly surprised.

firstly the waitress was really nice. we had a look at the early bird menu but it didnt really have what we wanted so went off the main menu.

for starters we had chowder and muscles - both were gorgeous - and the portions were huge - would have been plenty for a full lunch even

then for the main meal with had burger and chips, and fillet steak and chips.
both lovely only complaint would have been for the price of the steak - two small 4oz steaks really dont live up - but in saying htat they were cooked really nicely. 

dessert was fudge cake - but was a struggle - portion sizes are very generous

a nice bottle of pinot grigio too - not bad money - all in all the bill was ok but id say nto the value you get on an early bird these days </comment>

    <comment>This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and does a great dinner of steak and homemade chips, as well as a really good lunch of garlic ciabatta and chips which are delicious. Go for the early bird dinner if you are hungry as it is really good value. The wine they serve is also very nice.</comment>

    <comment>Nice, friendly relaxed restaurant.  Great value for money, and fantastic service.  The early bird menu is great you would think with it being that much cheaper that the food would not be as nice but it has always been perfect..Keep up the great work</comment>

    <comment>My Partner and myself went to zaks for a meal for my birthday.. We were not dissapointed. The early bird was supposed to end at half 7 and we had booked for that time and didn't expect to be offered the early bird menu.  We were and it offered more choice than the ordinary menu. We were surprised by this. It was great value and there was huge portions, had trouble finishing the dessert. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive. 5 star service and would go back there again.</comment>

    <comment>This place is really nice for the early bird menu, went in here with my boyfriend and we were really impressed the portions are huge so make sure you go in hungry if you are gettin the set menu!

We both had the fajitas they were so good and had all the trimmings with including home made salsa. The only thing I didnt like was the banoffe pie for dessert as it was too rich. I think they could include a small glass of wine into the set menu as it would be a nice touch and would make me go back more often as it would be even better value!!</comment>

    <comment>Was here for a meal on Valentines night.  The setting was very romantic, candles, roses on the tables, heart chocolates instead of the usual mints with the bill and the menu was bound in red ribbon, which we thought was a nice touch!
For starters we went for calamari (which was fantastic) and crab brulee, the brulee wasn't to mine or my friend's taste and thought afterwards that perhaps we should have opted for two calamari!
For mains we had lamb and the fusilli pasta, which went down a treat.
We were a bit stuffed so passed on desserts and as a treat had a bailey's coffee instead.
Our waitress was extremely friendly and made our night .
I will certainly return on my next trip to Cork but must warn you to watch out for the floor and be sure to wear suitable footwear with proper grips!</comment>

    <comment>Was here last night for Valentines with my partner. They had a set menu for 29.95 which was one of the best offers around in the city that night.

The starters wouldn't have had the best variety of options, but I had the goats cheese tart and my partner had the crab brulee. The tart was lovely but to be honest, I've had one elsewhere probably nicer, but that could just be my own taste!

For mains we both had the  steak - oh my gosh - absolutely incredible. Everything about the dish was perfect.

Dessert really was sinful, I had the chocolate and walnut brownie...the center of it was heated and the chocolate just melted in your mouth, and the whole brownie was about the size of your normal large slice of chocolate cake. It was served with cream. My partner had the warm apple crumble with cream and ice cream (which I had a taste of too!) was delicious!

Will certainly be coming here again</comment>
