Food and service is consistently good, it has been main reason for return Cocktail experience pre-pandemic and last visit: worst cocktails I have ever had. Piña colada wasn’t even sweet nor did feel any alcohol in it, felt like €10 lemonade. Ordered beer and gave that lemonade to my wife - definitely need to step up cocktail quality. Place looks like refurbishment is long overdue: dirty carpet, cracked seat fabrics, air con need to be cleaned. You can see these things from afar.
Amazing food, great staff, got doggie bags the portions are so huge, might of got a takeaway cheese cake too I've gone to Joel's for many yrs now and have never gotten a bad meal
Love Joel’s so much. I was there Saturday evening at about 6.30. You can’t book it on weekends unless there is a big party but the wait was not long.we had a drink at the bar and got called for our table within 30mins. We both got the battered mushrooms with garlic dip to start and the portion size was very generous. For the main I got the sea bass with prawns and sautéed potatoes and my partner got the prawn dish with rice. The total cost for two starters, two mains and 4 drinks was under €90 . All the staff members we encountered were lovely and the service from Cormac was excellent. Very good value for money and look forward to my next visit there.
Came here many times as a child and came back recently almost 30 to relive the nostalgia and not a thing has changed. Same amazing menu and desserts!, if you want a walk up nostalgia Lane, definitely check out Joel's
As usual, food was gorgeous. It was busy, so great buzz in the place. Ended up waiting ages on a simple jug of water, otherwise, I can give out. Toilets were a bit of a mess, but as I said , place was busy. Always a good meal and good fun had when we visit Joel's Kid-friendliness: Great spot to bring kids, menu is good for them, decent options available and they don't get annoyed if kids don't always stay seated. Lovely fish tank beside the door for kids to look at too. Mesmerizing for the smallies. Parking: Usually easy to find parking but if hotel is busy too it can mean parking in underground car park.
I was always very impressed with the food in Joel's until my recent visit. I organised a family Christmas meal for 8 adults. The night turned out to be a total disaster and I was left feeling embarrassed as I had suggested Joel's and said how good the food was. 3 of the 8 got the duck it was so over cooked it was like crispy rasher. Myself I got the salmon it too was overcooked and dry. We mentioned it when paying the bill. The person at the till ask was it the duck and she said others had complained about it and said she would say it to the chef. DEFINITELY NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I would have expected more from a restaurant of Joel's reputation. A very disappointed customer.
One of my worst experiences. So unsanitary. The seats we were sitting on was full of crumbs,salt, I even found a hair! So that was a wonderful start. The food we ordered wasn't bad but got worse each bite, I ordered the turkey dinner. The only nice thing there was the chips and the drinks. Never going back there again. I feel like washing my clothes and taking a shower after that.
Decent food, decent menu. Enjoyable. Basic but enjoyable. The service was ok, young staff, so you need to give them quite a bit of direction but most of the order was right. It's quite a busy spot so can be a bit loud but is fine. Limited parking. Parking: Limited number of spots, was very full on a Friday evening but there's not really any other way to get to this location but by car.
3.5 overall.. It's a good place to go with friends or colleagues.. Friendly staff.. good dishes..Food: 3/5
Food was mediocre at best. It seem that they use pre cooked chicken . As the sauce was hot and chicken was hotter on the outside than on the inside. I was going to mention this this the waiting staff , but nobody bothered to ask if we enjoyed our meal. The price was ok for the food I suppose. But €8.70 for a glass of house wine is crazy. Wont be going back.
