Been there for a function and a wedding. Both occasions the food was very average.

If ever in...

Malahide

Sale e Pepe - great steak
Greedy Goose - tasting menu. Small portions, but quality

and Dublin...

Peploes, Stephens Green - Great food, service, everything you'd expect from a top restaurant
Chapter One, Parnell Square - Michelin star. 'nuff said
Elephant & Castle, Temple Bar - for ribs, wings and burgers. Pricey, but worth it

(alternatively Abrakebabra for taco fries on South Anne Street after a session in Kehoe's)

Me I eat fairly often in the STAR off Ann Street mostly steaks only had about two that didn;t come up to standard in about the last 6 years The house "red" costs about £7-8 which in this day and age is cheap. look up their web page good value in book .

Though the decor could be better which makes it not the place for a first date experience more for understanding friends.

I take it an MP58 is some new fangled automatic weapon and the course in question is East Belfast and you're going 'reporter hunting '.

never fear - sneaked in 5 holes with them last night.
unreal clubs.

much lower trajectory than my current clubs (which will be hitting ebay any time soon); this might have as much to do with the shafts tho as the clubhead. not quite as long as the burners but they are stupidly strong lofted (our 6 iron goes further than any other 6 iron ever made....that's cos it's really a 5 iron...), but not short either. another round should have the distances dialed in.

will get to single figures v soon at this rate...

and fontana - excellent sole with a spicy couscous.
