    We didn't think the mothers day menu was good.. Steaks were terrible and the desert seemed to be pre made and they all tasted the same. So over priced!

    The food was lovely and big portions. Ambience is perfect. Decorated with balloons and flowers in time for Valentines. Staff are great.

    Service was great, staff were really friendly and attentive but food was disappointing. I ordered the pork belly which was very chewy and the fondant potatoe was flat as a pancake with very hard coating, it was also burnt on the bottom. Desert was a brownie which was okay, I’ve made better myself though and I’m no cook. I’ve been to the Betsy a few times in the past and wasn’t ever disappointed before so will chalk this up to a blip in the kitchen.

    Enjoyed a Mid week evening meal. We went for the early bird menu which wasn’t really early, so no demands for a table back. The selection on the menu was excellent and was plentiful at €33 each for three courses, brilliant value. Staff were entertaining helpful attentive and pleasant. I would recommend The Betsy and will be back for more. Well done Eddie 👍
