    We had a large business lunch and when we arrived they were not prepared for our reservation, the service was quite slow and it was really difficult to get anybodys attention to order coffees etc.

    I had booked for the wrong day and the MD kindly accommodated us when I rang to tell we would be 20 minutes late. A table was found for us two - one in a wheelchair, near the door and service was prompt and very appropriate. Regards Jim Coady

    Food was so poor, fish and chips were completely over cooked and inedible as was the chicken. Staff were very apologetic but would not eat here again.

    We were a table of eight. The service and ambiance were very good, as well as the convenience for attending the National Concert Hall. However, although happy with the quality of the food, some of us thought the quantities were less than expected.

    Food was nice but the time to serve it at lunchtime was completely unacceptable. So many tables left with time starved hungry people. It’s so important to serve people promptly at lunchtime. If there was something going on behind the scene you should have let your customers know so an informed decision could be made. Otherwise do not take the booking. Thank you.

FAQs

Some guests describe portions as generous, one reviewer called the food "amazing and plentiful, " and another noted there was "plenty of food."

The Terrace’s Soup of the Day is a noted favourite, it’s on the menu (served with Guinness bread) and multiple guests praise it as a comforting choice.

The Terrace feels casually elegant with lovely decor and warm, attentive staff; it’s a popular, buzzy spot before concerts yet can be quietly relaxed at other times.

Smart casual is the guide here, polished but relaxed, so neat, comfortable clothing is appropriate for a visit.

The Terrace is perfect for a pre‑concert meal, its Main Auditorium dinner service runs before performances (around 17:30–19:15), and guests often recommend dining at about 6pm for an 8pm show.

Yes, the drinks list features bottled beers, a full wine list (white, red and sparkling) and after‑dinner options such as Irish coffee and Baileys coffee.
