We've been going to the Ginger Tree since it was located in Ballyrobert, it was first class then but it seems to have slipped since relocating. The regular waitress who used to look after us no longer seems to serve, replaced by staff who dont really make you feel so welcome. The menu price is way up ( it was expensive-ish already) and food ...

I love Japanese food and have eaten it all over the world from the far east to Las Vegas. I had also been to the same restaurant in Ballyrobert many years ago and was very impressed by the high standards and excellent quality produce.
This is maybe why I was so dissapointed with the quality of food when I dined here recently. Six of us ordered ...

The meal my friend and I endured was no more authentic Japanese than I am !
My meal was breaded chicken breast served with ...
