 - Visited Bistro Martello on Saturday night. We got a table for 2 last minute. The restaurant was quite busy but we were given a great table and the service was attentive and friendly. Everything from start to finish was brilliant. We had crab claws for starters which were fresh in that day and tasted excellent. For mains, I opted for the steak which was cooked perfectly and tasted brilliant. Value for money was 10 out of 10 with everything surpassing my expectations. Will be back for more.</RestaurantDetails>

    <comment>Having been a couple of weeks before with our Menupages deal and being well impressed we decided to return for the Christmas lunch menu with our friends.  We were in before any of the 'office party' folk so we were well looked after.   Two of us enjoyed the pigeon breast salad and the soup was a winner with my friend.  Main courses were excellent though the stuffing was left off my husband's plate but when he asked about it they did bring him some to try and explained how it had been left off.  Game pie was enjoyed by two of us and everyone was very pleased with all that was on offer.  It was great value  and we will return!</comment>

    <comment>Dined here on the menupages deal which was great value all inclusive, though we did opt for a wine other than the housewine so we paid the different (€4 or €5 I think).

We arrived ten minutes late but our table was not yet ready so we stood around waiting for another 10/15 mins, it wouldn't normally bother me that this would happen as sometimes these things are out of the restaurants control but while we waited another group came in and their table was not yet ready either. They were seated at another table that belonged to a big party not due to arrive yet so they could have a drink and peruse the menu.  We were left standing by the door (though they did offer us a drink - we didn't accept as there was a bottle of wine included with our meal).  Anyway, none of that was a particularly big deal, but the fact that it was more than one table delayed would make me question how well managed it is.  Also while we tried to hang around discreetly, the waiter pointed over at the table that was to be ours twice to update us on whether the people at it were drinking coffees/paying the bill which was obviously noticed by the people at the table which I would think could well have made them feel quite rushed and uncomfortable.

Once we were in though, the food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were very attentive. I would definitely return.</comment>

    <comment>Had a meal for two on a menu pages deal last night. We have had meals here before and my wife and her girl friends have had diner on several occasions and have always been happy with the food and service. On this trip we had a great 3 course meal and a nice bottle of white. Service from the waiter was attentive and friendly and slight changes to the menu order were looked after with no fuss. Both toilets were clean and fresh as well.Will eat here again and we would recommend it to all seeking good food at reasonable prices.

    <comment>Best restaurant experience to date. The food was exquisite and easy on th wallet too, they offer an early bird all evening(€23.00 for a 2 course and €26.00 for a three course) and an A La Carte with a fantastic range of delicious dishes. The staff were fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect for a saturday night. I'de recommend it to all my friends.</comment>

    <comment>Came here one night during the summer on a lovely evening for the early bird and discovered they had an All Evening menu for €23 for two courses . They accommodated us easily as it was early and gave us a lovely window table. Food was really good though Fresh Mussels, served in cream, white wine, chilli and garlic and for mains we opted for the Fresh Dublin Bay Prawns sautéed in garlic butter which were €4.50 extra. Well worth it. Service was excellent and they brought fresh break and fequents refills of water.</comment>
