Upper Deck Restaurant

I found a fantastic deal on groupon so i decided I would give upper deck a try as i had passed by it many times on trips to Howth and dinner doesn’t start until 5 or later. (No late lunch/​early dinner times).
The service is great. We were sure to make a reservation which meant we were seated right away and received water, a water jug and wine right after we ordered. The menu has a lot of options. I feel like it was a little pricey had we gone without a voucher but i would just stick to a burger for 12 or so euro. I ended up ordering the lamb with mash and seasonal veg. I was really excited when it came out as it looked lovely. There was a perfect amount of sauce on the lamb, the mash took up ¹⁄₃ of the plate and the veg the other ¹⁄₃.
the veg was solely carrot and snow peas which i thought was a slightly boring combo but non the less steamed or boiled nicely. Where i was disappointed was with the flavor. I kept saying how much flavor is missing in the dish! I wanted to dump salt and pepper so i could taste the lovely meal i was eating. The lamb was cooked perfectly with it falling off the bone however not a lot of flavor even with the sauce. the veg had nothing on it (healthier i guess) and the mash was supposed to be a herb mash but it was just potato mashed with 6 sprinkles of herb on the top.
Maybe it is just the dish i ordered. I would love to give this place the benefit of the doubt because the location is nice (we had a window seat) and the service is great! I just don’t see myself rushing back for that same dish. I was so bored by the lack of flavor. This is coming from a girl who cant handle any spice which tells you just how bland my food was! Hopefully i get the chance to go back and have a better dish.
