Restaurant review: 'This renamed spot seems a little confused and unsure of its identity - but prices are fair and its heart is in the right place'
"Our critic enjoys the warm hospitality and some good food, but the wine list needs a revamp Dún Laoghaire is a town of two halves. The folk who flock here at weekends to walk the piers, eat from market stalls and drink coffee on the terrace of Happy Out, located in the old baths, are envious of those who live here."
"Yet the main drag, which runs all the way from the People's Park at one end, past the behemoth of a (largely empty) shopping centre hulking over the nominal town centre, to the Carnegie Library and the junction with York Road, which marks the town border, is a depressing stretch."
Warm hospitality and good food are provided, but the wine list requires improvement. Dún Laoghaire is described as a town of two halves. Visitors flock at weekends to walk the piers, buy from market stalls and drink coffee on the terrace of Happy Out in the old baths. Weekend visitors often envy those who live in the town. The main drag stretches from the People's Park past a largely empty shopping centre to the Carnegie Library and the York Road junction. That main thoroughfare is characterized as a depressing stretch.
