Not a problem when the food is good but unpalatable when the food is poor. When paying I told her our chips had been cold, she asked if I wanted the chef to reheat them and put them in a takeaway box!! I refused and paid the almost €50 for 3 burgers, chips and three soft drinks. No one checked if we were happy with our food. I was worried my chicken might not be fully cooked. When I asked her what was the point in letting us sit at a table if they were closing she maintained we could order and eat by 5, so we immediately placed the order which arrived at 4.50. I was tempted to walk out but knew the only other restaurant open would be McDonald’s. At this point other people were arriving and then sent packing, with loud muttering from the staff on duty that they had lives too and had to be out of the restaurant by 6 to jump in a taxi and get home. I explained that when I made the booking I was told to leave by 8. in approx 20 mins!! I was very shocked by her dismissive attitude. The server stated we would have to vacate the table by 6, I said ok we won’t be here that long, then once seated she stated we had to leave by 5pm i.e. The place was pretty deserted surprisingly given that it was Christmas Eve. So in the middle of biblical monsoon rain we arrived at the restaurant on time. I said no problem we’ll be there at 4.30pm, 3 people. to try GBK Temple Bar, gave them a ring, the girl who answered the phone went off to check then came back to the phone and said yes no problem once you leave by 8pm. However when I rang them on dec 23rd o reserve a table for Christmas Eve (after a planned family day shopping with my teenage daughters) they were’t taking bookings. I’ve eaten in GBK south Anne street many times, always a fantastic experience.
