I posted this on my trip report, but wanted share our experience at Raglan Road.
Let me just start by saying that the service and food were excellent. For appetizer, we had the Drunk Chicken, really juicy chicken kabobs with a delicious dipping sauce. For dinner, we ordered Sirloin in the Whiskey sauce with mashed potatoes and It's Not Bleedin' Chowder. Both were excellent. The seafood "not"-chowder was dreamy. The sirloin was cooked to perfection. For dessert, we shared the Bailey's Tiramisu. It was also excellent.
Our bad experience came at the very end of our meal. While waiting for the dessert, the band members started setting up in the stage. We were seated right next to the stage in a table for 3. One of the band members apparently needed a chair and proceeded to take one of ours without even glancing our way. I mean, really, how hard is it to ask if he could use the chair? Granted, we werent using it, but couldnt he just show a little manners and courtesy? We wouldnt have denied him. On the contrary, we were really looking forward to the music. But to be ignored in such a rude way really got to me. I was soooo angry. Our waiter noticed the change in mood in our table but didnt really inquire much . I just told him that I didnt know Irish people were so rude. After our dessert, we just paid for our meal and went to talk to the manager. I explained what happened and told her that this small act of rudeness ruined what would have been an otherwise great experience and that they lost our business for the rest of the evening. I had no interest in listening to the band after that (or ordering any more beverages, if you know what I mean). She apologized but what else could she do? I certainly wasnt going to stay. But I got it out of my chest cuz if I didnt, it would really ruin my evening. So we left and came back to the resort. Its ok, we need to get up really early for our Backstage Safari.
