Nash19 is a nice, upscale lunch spot, and it can be quite busy during a weekday lunch. The interior is "art gallery chic" with white walls, spot lighting, and select paintings and photography. It can be filled with posh, older customers. As I am typing this, the couple next to me is suggesting to the manager that they be moved to a larger table, deeper into the restaurant. So, those kind of people. Anyway, the food is really good quality, with local ingredients and some culinary savvy. The staff are friendly.
The prices are, maybe, a Euro or two higher than they should be, but it is all part of the aesthetic. Their biggest problem, in my opinion, is the ordering/paying/seating. When you walk in, there is a display area that you are drawn to, to place your order. However, there are also people waiting to be sat at tables to order. I have been here many times, because the food is good, but there is always confusion about who is going where and doing what. Also, on numerous occasions, people who have eaten are coming at the till from the opposite direction, and are looked after first, even though others have been standing there waiting. It's a busy place, which is great, but they need to figure out a new method of processing customers. It's not a deal breaker, though. The food is good enough to overlook the chaos.
Great food, make sure you get in early for lunch as it's popular. Mostly local food, well made and presented.
Fabulous lunch Monday to Friday, really great food and good service a little bit expensive
Lovely restaurant with outstanding food of the highest quality. Local produce is championed fantastically!
Love the ViPR lunch option, can eat & enjoy guilt free!
Staff are very professional & welcoming always.
Favourite treat is a brown scone, just yum.
The only downside is that we have had a long wait for our meals everything I have visited for a sit in lunch. This would impact on my decision to visit on a workday 1 hour lunch break because it is a little stressful. Would be great if this can be addressed?
Continued success, keep up the fantastic work!
Great large cafe. Ideal for bringing babies to go for a coffee and lunch. Homemade quality food! Although the chowder is an acquired taste
Fantastic atmosphere, staff, services, food, nice opening times.
A bit too fancy shmancy for me; although it's no fault of theirs, its just not for me.
Very efficient staff and good selection of bites
Went to Nash 19 today with my colleague. I've heard so much about Nash and was excited to try it.
It was incredible disappointing. I ordered a soup, where I was left standing at the til for 5 minutes, was told to sit down then and waited another 10 minutes for the soup to come. 15 minutes to put soup into a bowl. Soup was okay but over priced at €6
My college ordered the fish and chips, when they eventually came it contained 3 chips which were not cooked fully. The plate was basically lettuce leaves. This cost €16.50! Still can't believe that.
Majority of the staff were lovely especially the gentleman waiting our table, however when we first got there we could hear staff giving out to each other.
The nice staff brought up my star rating but overall it was disappointing and expensive.
Tasty, local food. Great service from friendly staff. Well run. Owner in premises to make it an efficient yet relaxing eatery.
Great breakfast awesome service great price
Very friendly staff and the food is tasty.
Favourite place in Cork for lunch. All salads are delicious, portions are generous.
Tasty breakfast and lunch. Very nice clean restaurant with a lovely open atmosphere. The breakfast is made in front of you so you know what's in your meal. Really nice staff.
