    We were hoping to have lovely dinner but never got the chance. One drink was delivered and the other never arrived. No one checked in or followed up with us. We were completely ignored except for the first visit from our waitress upon arriving. We received our appetizer and it was cold but had good flavor. At this point no drink still and no one had come back for our entree order. Confused by the lack of contacted with the staff we decided to just get our check and leave. I hope in the future if you’re short staffed you don’t over book which resulted in very bad service and unpleasant experience at your restaurant.

    Definitely the best restaurant during our two weeks along the Shannon River! We were longing for something different than Cajun Burger or Chicken -- and we found it on the inventive menu. Also their selection of wine is superb and hardly more expensive than elsewhere. The ambiance and the service vere classy and the booking via internet very comfortable.

    Not as good as previous visit last year. Beef kofta starter overpowered with ginger taste, Felt it was not cooked out. Scallop & Prawn starter very small & not that tasty. Seafood Linguine ok but really oily & new Cod dish average also. Sadly nothing stood out and quite pricy but the staff were really lovely

    My husband ordered the braised beef and said it was the best restaurant meal he has had since me moved to Ireland four years ago. I had the seafood linguini, which was also quite good, although I would not go as far as he did in his praise. I appreciated the asparagus and spinach in there, which was a nice touch. We did not order starters, but each received a small, complimentary goat cheese one, which was quite a treat. The meals also came with extra mashed potatoes and chips, which were more than we could eat. The pricing was fair, although my first drink was less than a full pour of Bushmills. The service was exceptional and friendly. Overall, worth the 40-minute drive from Arva. We will definitely be back.

    The duck and slow-cooked beef dishes that we had were both outstanding. We didn't order starters and instead were brought a complimentary celeriac and leek soup taster which was delicious. The desserts were also lovely and the service was attentive but not intrusive. We were driving so we had no wine but we had tea and coffee. The bill came to €71.00, very reasonable.

    Overall it was lovely however staff seemed disorganised and inexperienced? - I was rang after my starter to see if I was coming to the restaurant. I had to ask for a steak knife for my main. I ordered a medium-rare steak it was completely brown with no pink in the middle. The main took over 45 mins to come out. There were staff members swearing loudly and shouting down to an area outside the side door of the restaurant beside the bar. I’ve been so many times and the food is always lovely however I was disappointed on Sunday. I’ve booked a table for 12 in February and I’d be extremely disappointed if it was an experience similar to this

    The food was nice overall but a bit hit and miss. For example,the scallop and prawn starter was tiny and inconsistent around the table-other starters were lovely. The mains and desserts were all nice,but not outstanding. In general a nice restaurant, but too pricy for the food received

    Food was very good but the portion size is very small, duck had two small pieces on plate so I ended up giving my husband half my beef. My beef was fab but again one stick of brocoli and some sort of fancy chip on side. When I commented on the bowl of potatoes for us both waiter put eyes to ceiling.. Service to table was awful 😖 had to try get attention to clear table after sitting for about 15mins with empty plates in front of us.. staff needs training on general service. Won't return as I work with public didn't appreciate being ignored.
