    Hi, there was a limited choice and I was underwhelmed by choice. I opted for chicory with blue cheese. It had a watery white sauce. Not sure what it was but I don't think it was a good consistency. Friends toast with mushrooms was obviously too toasted. 3 of us ate and none of us were impressed. Nice decor. Overpriced for what arrived to table.

    Was looking to meet up for lunch with my sister somewhere between Dublin & Limerick. A friend recommened Bramley. What a great find. Food & service was top class. Location worked a treat. Will certainly revisit here. Beats Barack Obama Plaza.

    We had the tasting menu and feel the food was really a 5 but we kicked it back to 4 because the halibut was a bit overdone, but everything else was wonderful, sensuous and very satisfying.
