Restaurant review: Cask, Cork city

Cask is located in gorgeous old Victorian buildings that are also home to its sister-hospitality ventures, Isaac’s hotel and Greene’s restaurant, on venerable old MacCurtain St. The interior is dazzling, a steampunk take on an old Victorian gin palace: cast iron fixtures; ubiquitous filament bulbs; plenty of bright, shiny surfaces to reflect their light.
This is the hot new ticket in town and, on foot of apocryphal tales of huge crowds, we deliberately aim for Sunday evening but, even so, all tables are taken.
