We arrived on time for our booking but after 5 minutes of waiting, we were told that there was a problem with our booking and to go to the local pub and they’d call us when our table was ready. This was all despite we could see an empty table that was free. There was very little remorse from the staff as if this type of thing happens all the time. We also saw it happen to another couple later on in the night so it probably does. Food was nice but very small portions and overpriced for what it was. Rathgar tax.
Piano PianoResponded on December 27, 2024
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry for the inconvenience with your booking and the way it was handled. This isn’t the standard of service we aim to provide, and we’ll address it with our team to ensure smoother communication in the future. We’re pleased you enjoyed the food but regret that portion sizes and pricing didn’t meet your expectations. Your comments are valuable and will help us improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to deliver the experience you deserve. Kind regards, Piano Piano
