ALL THE FOOD

"I'd go back to Charlotte Quay for the great service, but I'd ask not to sit at the 'special' table again, and I'd rather eat simpler food that wasn't trying quite as hard to be fashionable, but rather concentrated more on flavour." Food 5/10. Ambience 8/10. Value 6/10.

"I ordered confit halibut, at a not inconsiderable €30, mainly because ‘the bits’ – orzo nero, fennel and cuttlefish– appealed. Halibut is a good meaty fish, and the black (squid ink) orzo would be a good robust pairing, particularly with the cuttlefish (or indeed chorizo),
and the anise flavours of fennel, however, what arrived was very much blanco, blanco, blanco."

"Charlotte Quay feels like a place that knows exactly what it wants to be: a smart city bar and restaurant serving great food. Let’s make this a keeper third time round."

"This place has always been an easy sell on a sunny evening, but it will be autumn, when the nights close in, before we can say for sure whether the Bereens’ gamble has paid off. They are in with a shout – but only if the service issues are rectified without delay."
