I visited "Jacob's" this evening after I received several recommendations from the staff at Kingsley Hotel and read several good reviews online about this restaurant. I was greeted by the restaurant manager whom I found to be very personable and knowledgeable. He made two excellent suggestions, both of which I followed, and I was extremely satisfied with my choices. I... more

You could die in this restaurant and it would go unnoticed. Unless you have at least 2 hours for dinner, go elsewhere. From what I can remember from previous visits, the service has always been painfully slow. The head waiter on the night was a touchy feely chap (I really hate the touchy feely bit) who called us folk (yuck)... more

Like some reviewers I loved this restaurant but on a previous visit we felt the standards had dropped. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and booked it for a special occasion this week. Now this is solely my opinion but even though they have told us it is the same chef, the food is sub standard,... more

Went to Jacob's on the Mall for a friend's birthday dinner this week and had a great time. We were very well looked after. We opted for the Early Bird menu basically as the choice on it was pretty good and for 24 euro’s for two courses (29 for three) was also great value IMO. A selection of homemade bread... more

Was there two weeks ago having recently received a voucher. There was no one to greet us at reception when we arrived on time for our late sitting. When someone did come they asked us to wait but this entailed standing as there is no waiting area. When we got to our seats, the service staff were polite but service... more

Used to be a good restaurant but standards have slipped a lot. I would't advise anyone to go there especially with such a good selection of restaurants in Cork including Star Anise, Augustine's, Fenns Quay, Cafe Paradiso... more

We visited this restaurant off the back of all the great recommendations on here and we were proved right once again, that it is so worth taking note of what people say on here about this place as it was a fantatic evening. We were in Cork for our wedding anniversary and wanted somewhere a little bit special to celebrate... more
