   Our lunch was lovely. We were celebrating my Mom and Sister's birthdays and they brought a lovely heart shaped mousse with a candle and sang to them which touched and surprised them both. The only comment I have is that it would have been nice to have had that brought out with our other dessert that we ordered. Other than that Zuzanna, Shane, and Nate took outstanding care of us and we were perfectly pleased with our meal and the service. Of course you can't beat the environment too!

   A great spot for a treat meal. Only complaint is that I had said it was for my mums 70th and they didn’t do anything for it. Loved everything else. Always a special place.

   Lunch in the drawing room at Ashford Castle was incredible. You overlook the courtyard and water from inside a beautiful room. The view was just spectacular. I started with a pot of tea and scones which were amazing and came with three very different spreads which were all delicious. I then ordered the chicken sandwich which was a very large portion and extremely messy but very good. My husband ordered the schnitzel which was even better. The service was great and you certainly cannot beat the view and ambiance. I would highly recommend especially if you are not fortunate enough to stay the night as a guest of the hotel, to at least book a lunch in the drawing room to see how lovely the castle is inside.

    Everything was lovely. Although I was surprised at how inattentive our server Nathan was. He’s a great guy but for a 5 star hotel it took a bit to get drinks and he never came and checked on anything for us after dropping things at the table. Would come back again :)

    We had lunch reservations at The Drawing Room, but were not hungry from the outstanding breakfast we had had that morning at The Lodge at the Ashford Castle. But used our reservations for coffee mochas and desserts. The taste of the food and drinks were fantastic. The service was gracefully in no hurry, but we didn't mind at all.. considering the beautiful views even on a rainy day. Prices were very high, but I knew this ahead of time. Overall, you're paying for an experience as well as dining, and I would go again.

    Pure class. Professional and yet very friendly service. The food was lovely; however, the cheesecake tasted a bit like the refrigerator that it was stored in and the crust was soggy (was that intentional? ) so, it wasn’t as fresh and nice as the rest of the meal. Great ambience and it was a beautiful lunch experience for a special occasion.

    My food was cold. The fish was soggy. Inedible really. Left most of it. Service wasn’t great. All in all, pretty disappointing and poor value as a consequence. I am hoping it is a blip in my experience of Ashford over many, many years. I am very fond of Ashford and I won’t let this stop me from visiting again. Disappointed though. 😕
