An excellent meal. Quite impressed with the unexpected standard to the food and service here. The presentation is good but the service and the inclinations to cuisine and flavours to the food are superb. Had a 3 course meal. All excellent. I had the Angus burger and requested some bbq sauce. Kitchen made it was superlative with an Asian tinge, freshly cut chilli and a soy base, I was absolutely blown away. A simple condiment - but exquisite. The desert was similarly well done. These elements along with our server, Jonathan’s, friendly, professional and polished attitude and care, meant for an excellent meal and evening.
Lovely hotel, we’ve stayed a few times and eaten in the restaurant before with no issues. Six of us dined on Saturday night but to be honest it had faults this time round. No sides arrived with our meal and actually wasn’t sure we were meant to get any until I rechecked the concert menu once back home. Sweet roast potatoes weren’t there. Coffees ordered a few times and some never arrived so we gave up. Staying in hotel before Cher in November but shall eat somewhere else beforehand. Pity
We booked the restaurant not only because of handiness staying in the Gibson but also having seen the TV programme First Dates. But yet it bears little resemblance to the show. Food was grand and hot, perhaps delivered a bit too quickly giving the impression that we were to be moved along quickly. Given that you are adjacent to a big event venue, it seems that the turn around of customers is key, which is understandable, but the restaurant was not even half full and a little more time between courses would have been better. Staff very friendly and attentive, but Id say they are fed up being asked by everyone about the First Dates restaurant, or where it was?! I think you are missing a marketing trick here, perhaps there is a restriction from the TV production company, but I guess a lot of people turn up expecting the experience, the staff and even to have a drink at the non-existent cocktail bar. That said we had a good night.
Nice value Asian style food. Can get cinema deal on nights where nothing on in 3 arena ONLY. Nice views, good value and big screen for matches if you just want a drink. Only do brunch one day of weekend which is a pity
Ive been a customer of the Gibson for over 4 years now and the current level of service deterioration and degradation at the Coda Eatery bar is alarming: waiters always new that never get to know the business; waiters that are not looking at the clients to see what they want and therefore need to be called after 20 minutes; waiters that do not know whats in the menu; waiters that dont even ask you what to drink when taking your order; managers that are not spotting these issues because they are recurring. For the record Ive been working in this industry for over 13 years.
Sorry i didnt read the reviews first, in a nutshell, the food was ok, but the service was absolutley abysmal, couldnt get anyones attention to order desserts and more drinks, there was several staff sitting around talking, one on a phone, all doing their best to avoid service, clearly no manager on, filled in feedback form via e-mail and not even a courtesy response, when first seated the waiter didnt even know what drinks were available at the bar also, too many options around to ever go here again,
Ordered the Sicilian pizza which was actually a Margherita topped with cold meat and cold cheese! Then asked for the Chicken Supreme which was lukewarm. No offer to take something off the bill. €27.50 for the trouble (incl fries). Gordon Ramsay would have pulled his blonde hair off.
My girlfriend is a fan of the first dates show so we decided to come for the experience. Sadly it didnt live up to the expectations. Food was ok but nothing special, while we were waiting for desert they took whatever water and wine we had left wich we found quite odd. Its a good place but probably we were expecting a bit more
Its not so much that the food is bad, as it is overly expensive. 2 courses was €30, and for that, Id expect better. I got a burger and chips; the chips were under cooked, the burger was ok, but nowhere near worth the price. The dessert (a chocolate mousse) was very nice. Service was ok as well, though we relied on the manageress to do the jobs of the wait staff, who tended to be a bit disinterested, leaving their bosses to pick up the slack.Ok, but for the price, I expect a lot more.
Sandwich with ONE thin slice of beef?? Got stuck eating in this hotel restaurant, really regretted it. Overpriced bad food and poor, inattentive service. Hotel is nice, restaurant is not.
Grossly overpriced, food is disappointingly bland. Staff are very friendly.
Lots of interesting stuff on menu, but not very well done, food uninteresting, mediocre taste, especially for the prices.
Busy Restaurant inside the Gibson hotel, modern, spacious, excellent value for money, has a terrace, smoking area, good design, pleasant atmosphere, highly recommended !!!
