 Liberty Grill gives the midweek slump a delicious bump

Seared Beef Salad

Feeling that midweek slump? What not check out some of the offerings around two as a few restaurants are trying to fill the Tuesday to Thursday gap.

Indeed, Liberty Grill have an offer for each day from Tuesday to Thursday. I called there last Tuesday to take advantage of the Tuesday Date Night. For €50 per cou­ple, you share a starter, enjoy two main courses, and fin­ish with a dessert to share. A relaxed and deli­cious way to break up the week — and a very good excuse to skip the cook­ing and share time.

We certainly enjoyed it. Excellent food and a lovely service as well. We started off with a plate of Louisiana style Calamari with a lime and corian­der mayo. The Calamari, which can be quite chewy in some places, were perfectly cooked and that mayo enhanced them. There was also a choice of Fish Cakes, Chicken Wings., Tomato Salsa Bruschetta, and Mexican Mille Feuille.

Caesar Salad, with chicken.

On then to the mains and here I met an old friend: their Seared Beef Salad. You get Vodka and chilli mar­i­nated steak strips, char­grilled on sea­sonal leaves with bal­samic onions, rus­tic pota­toes, red pep­pers and toasted pecans plus one of the best salads around. A jazzy dish, top quality and no shortage of quantity either.

CL meanwhile was enjoying her Little Gem Caesar Salad. This consists of Grilled avo­cado, crou­tons, capers and vegan parme­san shav­ings with Cae­sar dress­ing and your choice of tem­peh or free- range chicken and bacon. She picked the chicken (for which there is a small supplement). Thumps up here as well.

Other mains on offer were Fish and Chips, two Steaks and a variety of the Burgers on which Liberty first built their reputation and their loyal following. Of course we had the sweet finish, sharing a heavenly Tarte Tatin. Dark and sticky caramel, sweet apples and vanilla ice-cream combined to make this toothsome dessert and put a smile on our faces as we headed out into Washington Street.
