Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I booked The Market Bar for a hen party and everybody in the group along with myself were highly impressed. I really couldn’t recommended it enough for a special group meal. Barry was very friendly and helpful to deal with and on the night of...the dinner, the staff were very professional and pleasant. The restaurant personalised the menu for the hen party which was a lovely touch and the menu had several options on it. The food was delicious and nicely presented and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant also. Thanks so much to all working at the Market Bar, I look forward to returning soon.More

My daughter and I had lunch here today I ordered the goats cheese salad it was horrendous with the tiniest amount of goats cheese I meen about 30grams for €13 chips over cooked bread tasted like pizza base relish was just tomato sauce and twice...as much of that as cheese salad was just peppers and green leaves 1 sun-dried tomato in the hole thing. Terrible do not eat here very expensive for Terrible food.More

Wouldn't be the kind to write bad reviews however the food here is bland and overpriced. Got the steak, asked for it medium and it was burnt after waiting 45 minutes for it. We ended up just leaving hungry and went to another restaurant.

Myself and my husband visited this restaurant (if that's what you would call it) for our anniversary dinner. Overpriced, the chicken is little strips covered in oil. The curry, what an absolute joke! If I wanted lumpy powdered curry, I would have made it at...home myself. This place used to be one of our favorite spots in Ennis but unfortunately the food has gone to the dogsMore

We were at the end of a long day heading home via Shannon, and the staff were warm and welcoming. They worked hard to serve us as we had booked for 19:45 and the kitchen closed 20:00. Never the less the food was good quality...and plentiful. The Guinness was excellent. It was a bit tricky to find as it is tucked up the side street. I think the menu a bit confusing as if it could not decide to be Asian fusion or traditional Irish. We went traditional Irish. For me the beef was excellent quality but less so for the Clare lamb for my wife. All in all a pleasant experienceMore

I'm not sure where to start with this review... We booked a family dinner for 10 people. The waitress had a serious attitude, was slow and unhelpful. The staff never once acknowledged both 30minute wait times, both for dinner and to simply have our cake(which...we brought in) 'sliced'. 2/3rds of the cake was gone but were only 9 of us eating? The 'fish and chips' were dreadful bits of burnt batter with re-heated chips. Lastly, our pots of tea were not even 3/4 filled..again there was no apology from staff. Very disappointing.More

We had an evening meal here, 4 people. It was lovely. Plenty of gluten free options on the menu clearly indicated. Knowledgeable staff. I had the gluten free burger and chips. Very tasty. Nice atmosphere and well spaced out tables. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
