    Worst meal I had in a long time. Chicken wings were dry no sauce heated up. Stopped eating them. No soap on menu. No potatoes only mash offered in restaurant. No potatoes at all offered with salmon dish only 3 broccoli stems underneath salmon and 1 pot of a tomato salsa like sauce and 1 pot of a pepper salsa style sauce very similar. Had to order chips. Wine was nice. Service was good. Room was lovely

    The food had no flavor or seasoning to it. The drinks from the bar were terrible. The drinks were bad enough that I sent mine back to the bar.

    Not a great experience at all. The menu was only a bar menu we were told there was no A La Carte menu. It was Thursday 02 May we went there. The staff are very slow and unprofessional. We ordered wine and it never came so had to ask again for drinks. The place was empty and nobody at the bar so not like it was busy. My wife had to tell them 3 times what meal she wanted and it still came out wrong and wasn’t the dish she ordered 3 times! Would not recommend this place.

    Food was excellent. Our group enjoyed their meal. We felt the service let the bar and grill down big time. At first, the Waitress was attentive but she must have gone home or end of her shift because we were left for ages without anyone coming over to us. The Management seamed to wander about like they hadn't a clue what to do. We had to get up off our seats to go to a member of staff to ask them to come and clear our plates. The empty plates were sitting there for ages before this was actioned (by us). Luckily enough the Kitchen saved the day with its delicious food. Shame the Restaurant staff weren't as efficient.

    Service was bad, it was slow, no real bar person, one waiter accused my husband of not paying for his pint which of course he did. No irish staff at all. Couldn't pull a pint for the life of them. Breakfast the next morning was stone cold. Over priced too.
