    We were seated upstairs as a 2. Lovely big room and windows to view out of. The food was exceptional, waiting staff attentive and friendly, i never had my water glass go below a quarter full. The only critique I would have is the server didn't really know what was served with my wife's main as she asked what an item on the plate was, just a bit more understanding of the menu but that's a very small thing. The price was very reasonable considering the quality of food being served. Would highly recommend it and would definitely come back again even if we live in Cavan.

    We enjoyed a a fabulous meal at The Red Bank last night, it was really busy but the staff were so efficient and friendly and always on hand. The food was amazing had the Scallops to start and the Beef Fillet for mains, my wife had the Smoked Duck to start and the fish of the day John Dory all cooked perfect, we sampled a few cocktails too they were excellent. All in all very good value for a quality product and service. There is a lovely comfortable welcoming vibe to The Red Bank.Can’t wait to return.

    Very disappointing family dinner. Booked table for evening dinner and were seated at a 2foot round table in the bar area..The table at a push would have been suitable for 2 persons. When I expressed my disappointment with the seating,I was told that we often sit 4 at these tables and indeed they did squeeze another party of 4 at the table next door. When we had 4 plates on the table ,they overhung the table and then we had to move plates to be able to pick up our drinks glasses. The management are clearly maximising numbers over customer experience , very poor given the premium they charge. Had I been told I would be squeezed into this table I would not have driven the 1hour journey to get there- definitely won’t be doing it again.

    Nice atmosphere, and good service. The food was fine but not wow. I had the ramen tofu noodles which was smothered in soya sauce with little else to taste. Hubby had scallops as a starter which he saud were a little small. His beef main was nice abd the deserts were lovely. They had soya ice-crem which is not often seen. The drinks selection was good, however some of the draft beers were not available

    We had a delicious meal in the red bank recently. We could not fault one thing. The atmosphere was lovely the service was excellent. Special mention to our server Emma, who was brilliant. The food was just out of this world. We both had fillet steaks which were cooked to perfection. We already can’t wait to come back for another delicious meal.

    First time going to restaurant. New to the area & was entertaining friends for the weekend. Was a smidge disappointed that the 3 of us were squeezed into a two seater table. Noise levels made it hard at times to fully enjoy catching up conversation at our table. Other than that, the food was delicious and staff very friendly and welcoming. Would attend again & just request a nicer table seated area. Thank you.

    We were recommended to have a meal at the Red bank and have to say from stepping inside the front door, the experience was brilliant. There was plenty of choice from the menu at a great price for win. The food arrived. Not only was there plenty, but it was outstandingly beautiful. If you’re in Carrick On Shannon, you should try to have a meal here as it will not disappoint.

    This restaurant was voted number one in Carrick on Shannon so we were looking forward to our meal. Both If us had the monkfish which was the dish of the day. The monkfish was small tired and rubbery. It came with a bowl of mash which neither of us eat and surprisingly there was no option of boiled or sautéed potatoes just some skinny fries which came straight from a bag in the freezer. The dish was to be served with seasonal veg which turned out to be two slices of aubergine, one of courgette and one of red pepper. The only other veg available was some rather wet corn in the cob. We were made to feel bad for expressing disappointment and it took a long time for someone more senior to arrive. It was a pity as we had many other really lovely meals in Carrick in our week there.
