Jimmy Flynn's Celtic Snug

I can't review the food because I couldn't subject myself to wait any longer to be served.
Came in here for lunch and to enjoy the patio, waited 15 to be recognized by the staff. When asked if we could order the waitress said "no" ... Seriously "no" WTF.

We went with a group of 6 (8 if you count the two young kids with us) yesterday for an Easter DInner (perhaps a rather unorthodox Easter Dinner).  

The food was delicious.  I had the cod and chips.  The fries were fantastic the cod was pretty tasty, and the tartar sauce was perfect (that can really make or break fish & chips, in my experience).  It was two good sized pieces of fish and a whole bunch of fries, very generous portions.  My wife had the guinness pulled pork which was also fantastic.  It had rosemary in it, which was quite unique.  Certainly some of the best pulled pork I've ever tried.  The other folks in our party had the stuffed yorkie (yorkshire pudding), curry and risotto, and the mushroom soup.  They all loved their food as well.  

Overall, the food was fantastic, we were very pleased.

Unfortunately that wasn't the whole experience.  We had a reservation, and the table was ready... considering the rest of the service we received, that was pretty impressive.  The service was poor.  Our waitress was beyond annoyed that there were two kids with us (though it was plenty early) and didn't hide it well.  It took forever to get water refilled (I think at least twice I nosily sipped the last bit of water through my straw right in front of the waitress and it was still quite some time (10+ minutes) before she came with water.  It was a good 15-20 minutes we waited once the check came, and finally to pay we had to track down the waitress to even pay.  It was frustrating.  It was a bit busy, but not overly so.  

Very unimpressed with the service.  But I think the food made up for it...

Most incompetent service I have ever experienced.

After waiting for way too long to receive menus, we were then ignored while the servers wandered around. Two tables came in after us and finally a server came out to the patio and took their orders without asking if we needed help. As she walked inside without even uttering a word to us we asked if we could order and she had the gall to say No.

Needless to say we got up, expressed our displeasure and left. I will never step foot into this establishment again. I have worked in the restaurant industry for over a decade and this is just unacceptable. F this place!!!

******I received a message from the owner Paul regarding my review. He has offered up a GC to give his establishment a 2nd chance. I find it very impressive that he reads and responds to his reviews. I have not rec'd this GC yet, but I will definitely revise my review afterwards.
