Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed dinner at this restaurant which is located in a village about two miles south of Naas, Co Kildare. There is plenty of free parking. The food was excellent, as was the service. The place was packed on the Friday before Christmas.
The food was lovely! We ordered the chicken tacos, mushroom toast, steak fillet, venison, and a brownie. Everything was tasty and well-prepared — the venison was especially delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly (though the portion was a little on the small side).
The portions overall were good, and I think the prices are reasonable for the quality.
Service was generally good, though when we were first seated, there weren’t any water glasses on the table, and it was a bit hard to get the staff’s attention — probably because they were very busy. Other than that, everything went smoothly.
Overall, it was a great dining experience, and I’d definitely recommend this restaurant!
Had a really nice meal at the Brown Bear. The food was tasty and well presented. Had a really nice meal at the Brown Bear in Kildare. Excellent service!! Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed. Service was smooth and easy-going. Would happily recommend!
We chose the restaurant through the Michelin guide, looking for a place to dine while breaking up the journey from Cork to Dublin. The restaurant is very local and, given its location, not frequented by tourists. The atmosphere is very welcoming, starting from the outdoor area and the beautiful wooden counter at the entrance. The wait staff is extremely courteous and professional (we met a Sardinian woman who has lived there for 20 years!). The cuisine is enjoyable, starting from tradition but veering towards contemporary, with some forays into other cuisines (Spanish, South American, and Asian). The three dishes we ordered were all balanced and delicious. The quality/price ratio was fair. A wonderful experience!
