Reel Inn in Donegal

13/04/2025: Underwhelming. Server Graeme was especially unfriendly, no eye contact.. no chat, very direct. Seemed to be tension between staff, as no staff engaged with us at all apart from the female maître d. Would expect more for the cost of food & drinks. Low music also. Drinks more expensive than temple bar, although I was impressed they offered gluten free pasta. Unfortunately it was quite dry, not creamy at all & the huge portion was wasteful. Won’t be returning, although visually the venue is fantastic

24/02/2025: This is one the best restaurants in donegal town. The hype of the restaurant comes in light with it's huge queue before the dinner starts. I am not sure if they take walkins as I have been to this place twice but had booked in advance. Seeing the crowd at the restaurant I would definitely recommend to book the table well in advance even when you planning on a weekday but surely book if coming on a weekend. There is a great variety of dishes with vegetarian and meat options. The second time I visited, we had ordered spring rolls and seafood chowder for starters. They were absolutely tasty and came within record time I'll say. For mains we had ordered carbonara, chicken Supreme with sauce, kofta balls, and a burger with fries. The food and the service was amazing and couldn't hold back with the amazing deserts as well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming at all the time. Toilets were kept clean and tidy to the point. Photos might give you a better insight of the place and food. Do visit this place if you are in Donegal time and looking for some great place for fine dine.
