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.

Marina was amazing, delivering an outstanding service as waiter. Definitely I will come back more often, highly recommended. Likewise, she speaks Spanish and English ! To useful for those people who don’t speak English at all.

Went to Spitjack for a late breakfast / brunch after a full on Friday in Cork. Not disappointed and the food did the job!! I had the Full Jack and there was no shortage of Bacon on the plate plus Black & White puddings. My...wife had Avocado and Poached Eggs which she described as "The Best Breakfast Ever!!!". Got to be done.More
