Bongos or Raglan?

[Pirate Mickey]

We are going in March (DH, DW, DD-18)... I am trying to decide between Bongos Cuban Cafe and the Raglan Road. We went to Raglan 2 years ago and loved the show. Comparing menus it looks like there are good choices at both.

I would love to hear from those who have been to both ... recommendation?

Thanks,
Pirate Mickey

Raglan Road, every time! It has been awhile since we ate at Bongos but from what I remember it was an unremarkable meal and the skirt steak was flavorless. Raglan Road is a must do for us every year, if fact, this is the first year in 16 that we are not dining there only because we want to try some of the new restaurants.

I have been at both many times. I love Bongos, but Raglan has been more consistent. Very different vibe at each, though.

Thanks for the insight. I've seen Raglan Road on several "best of..." lists.

Thanks for sharing. The completely different atmosphere was in our thoughts too.

I've been to both and enjoyed both. Some of my family likes Cuban cuisine better than Irish, but both are good to me. I have ADRs for Raglan Road on our upcoming trip and we most likely won't be doing Bongos.

We love both but if we had to choose it would be raglan road . The show with the Irish dancers are awesome!!

Does anyone know which days/times the Irish dancers perform? We have a 6pm ADR for a Sunday.
