I know there have been postings in the past about The Weir but feel this warrants a new topic.   I've been in a few times recently and the food has been pretty good, with average to poor service.  However, today, having arrived at around 1:55pm for Sunday luncheon, The Weir excelled itself.   It took 10 minutes to get a drink, in a virtually empty establishment.  There were already 8 ladies dining and maybe half a dozen others.   We ordered our drinks and food.  The starter was okay and arrived within 25 minutes.   The main course (we both ordered the roast lamb) arrived after a half hour wait.   My lamb was a plate of fat.  No exaggeration I would estimate at least 60% of the plate was fat. My friends plate was equally as bad.  When I expressed my shock, the waiter just waltzed off with the plates without comment.  We immediately asked for the bill and when questioned about what the problem was one of the waiting staff dismissed me with a turn of the heel and a flick of the wrist.  Absolutely atrocious.   We subsequently headed to O'Briens where we had a lovely roast lamb meal, that arrived within 10 minutes at a fraction of the price of The Weir.

It's a shame - I like the establishment but the staff are rude and seem to operate on a "when I can be bothered" basis.  It's frustrating in this day and age to receive poor service.  It is also extraordinary that a chef can serve up a plate that is half fat and think that is okay.  Worse that the serving staff even took it to the table.
