La experiencia ha sido horrible. Primero nos sitúan en una mesa desde la que se ve muy de lejos el espectáculo. Segundo comienza el baile, se sitúa un montón de gente delante de nosotros, por lo que no pudimos ver el baile. No se retiran y los camareros tampoco nos dan soluciones. Por otro lado, la comida es pésima, grasienta, el pescado era congelado y no sabía a nada. El guiso era de lata, ultra salado. Las alitas de pollo tenían un sabor extraño, aunque la salsa intentara ocultarla. Las patatas tenían bastantes frituras, sabían solo a aceite. El camarero que nos sirvió se puso como un energúmeno, lo cual provocó nuestro enfado; no obstante, la encargada nos descontó uno de los platos y nos ofrecía una mesa para el día siguiente, con mejor ubicación. No volveremos nunca. No lo recomendamos, hay muchísimos sitios mejores que este, a poco. Si

We were glad that we had made a reservation. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with a weekend in Dublin. Murrays is located perfectly near to our hotel Riu Gresham. Loved the ambiance the music and the food. We definitely recommend this bar restaurant for having a compleet Irish evening out. Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
