My flight out of Dublin got turned around due to a maintenance issue and we were put up in a hotel in Dunboyne late in the evening - the steakhouse had noticed several people in this situation and stayed open late to make sure everyone could get a hot meal. On top of that the steak, soup, wine, and sides were fantastic! Cooked a great medium rare and appropriately seasoned - the owner really helped turn a cruddy day into a positive one!

I'm currently staying at the Dunboyne Castle Hotel for several weeks, and the steakhouse is just a short walk away, so I tried it tonight and I must say I wasn't disappointed. The service was friendly. The interior is fine; I ordered a 16oz T-bone steak, and it was cooked just right. The sides are okay. I would have liked to swap the peppercorn sauce for something else, but that's just how it is. All in all, I'm really very satisfied and will be visiting this restaurant again soon.

Lovely food, with a really nice waiter, who I think was the manager/owner. He could not have given us more attention. However, his friend came in talking on FaceTime, which really disrupted the atmosphere. Then someone else was watching videos on his phone - maybe banning load volume on phones would add to the atmosphere - otherwise, all good

Had a fillet steak, asked for medium done, unfortunately it was overcooked. Prawns were nice. Staff was quick tho and fairly pleasant. Name steakhouse does not suit the place. Sorry but would not go back.

The food was absolutely delicious, the waiter was so nice and attentive, the moment that he saw my mom and stepdad trying to share food he offered plates to share the food without us asking, he took good care of us. Will definetely come back. We had the 8oz Steak, Ravioli and pizza, I tried all 3 and they were delicious. It is a small place so when its full of people it can get a bit noisy but there's not much they can do about that. 10/10!

Food was OK but staff works as a robots and not pleasant. No smile, no talk. Even was asked by business owner to be quite at our birthday party. Waiting for starter 1h45min and alway had to ask to be approached.
Not my choice. Not recommended for parties .

I previously visited this restaurant and was very disappointed with the quality of the food and most importantly the attitude of the maitre d. I did a review at the time and for some mysterious reason it has been deleted.
Based on feedback from some friends I decided I would give it a go again as it is the only restaurant in the village that is quiet and comfortable. Although we had booked well in advance and had asked for a table downstairs we were told we had to go upstairs with no explanation or apology from the maitre d. As it turned out the staff upstairs could not have been more helpful or friendly and took our order immediately. The bottle of wine (a cheap Primitivo) was quite expensive but drinkable. The steak for the Surf and Turf was ribeye rather than fillet and came medium well instead of medium rare as ordered. All in all the food was edible but the friendly young waiting staff carried the evening. The Maitre D should stay at home and let the staff run the show. He has no personality and certainly one of the grumpiest I’ve met
