    The food was abysmal, no flavour on anything. Chicken fajitas were dry with little to no seasoning or flavour. Spicy prawns were cheap and floating in butter. The curry sauce was clearly from a packet with dry chicken pieces thrown in. All of this for the bargain price of €94!! Disgraceful!! The only saving grace was the waitress. Do not waste your money om this horrendous food. Go elsewhere!

    Only few tables at the same time and still didn’t get anyone to come around. We had to go up every time to ask for water, other drinks, even to come around to take our order. After we finished our food, plates were never removed, we were there for an hour and 20 mins waiting to order dessert, it didn’t happen. When we kind of suggested to split the bill the waitress rolled her eyes at us and said with a bad enough tone: seriously??? Awful service. Definitely won’t recommend it and won’t repeat.

    Went in for my birthday dinner, they had balloons on the table when we arrived, which was a lovely touch! Erin was our waitress and she was absolutely incredible, next level customer service! Food was amazing! Can not recommend The Clink enough

    Food was very nice. Staff were also very nice but potentially under staffed as sometimes slow or had to ask for things multiple times. Staff were great with kids and took the time to talk to everyone. Great setting and would definitely go back again.
