| - Although my summer job internship is located in a building quite close to Ceili's, I certainly will not be returning here anytime soon. I decided to make a visit here with a group of friends for some drinks and dinner after work. I was terribly and unfortunately excited as I really needed a "stress" drink, wanted to catch up with friends, and because I heard raving things about the pub. Unfortunately, it was such a terrible experience, that I wish I could give this review no stars.
Although I have no issue with noisy pubs, I do agree with Victor that on a Friday night, it was ridiculously loud. I my as well have went to a dance club as the music was literally droning from being so loud I couldn't even hear my friend that I was sitting beside. It took nearly 30 minutes for our server to arrive, where I found her to be extremely unprofessional and came off as being snooty and bitchy. It was a party of 10 people who obviously are going to be ordering different drinks AND different meals. Not only did she miss 4 people after the initial ordering, she also had to return to our table nearly 5 times to ensure that all the orders were correct. I don't want to be mean, but perhaps there are things called pens and pads of paper that can be used?????
Originally I ordered a veggie burger....I don't know how she got it mixed up, but I guess "veggie burger" sounds like "veggie dip". In other words, I did not receive a burger-like creation for $13.00, but rather a plate with 10 sticks of celery and carrots for a flipping $10.00. I politely told her that the order was wrong, I wouldn't have gotten as angry if she put in an apology, but she had to get into biotch mode and create a wonderful response of: "oh, well you'll have to make do with it as its too late to return the order." That pissed me off where I would have loved to have jumped over the table and perform a ninja kick to the face of our server; but to avoid embarrassment to my friends I hunkered down and ate my veggie platter that I could have ate at home for free.
It was a terribly disappointing experience where the overall night at Ceili's had service that was incredibly slow. Not only did we walk out with blistering headaches, but also with scratching sore throats from shouting across the table to "talk". Not a fun night, and will not be returning.
