As on previous occasions the food was excellent but the menu was much smaller. The serving staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the entertainment (singers) was a serious let down, the dancers were excellent . They singers/musicians lost the audience before the half time break and never recovered when they came back on stage. It was the first time in many years that my group left early.

We visited Johnnie Fox's with two English friends who had not been to Ireland before. I was a little concerned that they might not appreciate the craic as much as myself and my husband. I needn't have worried. We all had a fantastic evening. The food was great and there was a wonderful choice, I'd skip lunch on the day if I was going again as the portions are massive. Food came to table really quickly and it was hot. How the guy behind the bar kept up with the drinks orders was unbelievable, he was so fast and none of the staff seemed to be kept waiting for their orders. As for the musicians and the dancers - FANTASTIC!! Will definitely return, we had a wonderful time. Thanks to everyone, our server Ellie, Ciaran the Manager and the "guy behind the bar" whose name I don't know, sorry. Compliments to you all.

Lovely experience overall, I liked the show and the atmosphere it was lovely. I did feel that it was a bit too much of a squeeze, the way you are seated is not ideal, it's hard to eat because your so close together, and it's difficult to get out and go to the toilet as well. If you are disabled or in a wheelchair it would be difficult to get around to be honest. However overall it was a good experience and I enjoyed it.

Singing was average. Singers were too loud and volume was too loud. Food was excellent. Dancers were superb
