Motte & Bailey Restaurant in

01/10/2025: A long day from Dublin was topped off at Raftery's. We wanted "local' , pub, personal. After a Google search, review of menus, and geographic location ,we chose Raftery's. DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! Greeted upon entry, with the bar full of patrons ,we were seated, provided menus, accommodated with beverages and then had to choose from an abbreviated but fully varied menu. I chose the rack of lamb. My companion opted for the roasted duck. Both were heavenly. Hard to choose which was better, the veggies, potatoes,and accompanying sauce or gravy, or the prime attraction. All were absolutely delish. And portion size was perfect, leaving room for dessert! Generally too full to enjoy we ordered dessert. The apple crunch also did not disappoint...heavenly. If we had the opportunity to stay in the area vs. traveling on, we would definitely revisit. I really don't think Raftery's is one of those "good the first time" experiences. Congratulations! You make it hard to leave the area.
