Food – OK. Not above average.
Service – in my experience, it's quite mixed. We sat outside with our pet dog and that wad fine. The order taker was exceedingly polite and efficient but that's where it ended. Afterwards, a separate server brought our food after a very long time and when I ordered a dessert with coffee, the latter was delivered to my table in whip smart time bur without the dessert. Now, it's always considerate to allow for other demands on server and waiting staff, so I waited and waited and continued with the tedium as my coffee grew increasingly cold. Eventually I left my table to approach one of the servers and explained my situation in the politest manner I could muster. In jig time my dessert arrived with a gratis coffee. And in an instant it was abundantly clear that the dessert was pre-prepared, meaning that there was no real excuse for the discounted delivery of my dessert order with coffee.
I'm not concerned with their logic for operating like such save to to say that as a customer I really felt poorly served throughout the whole experience.
Would I return – definitely not.
Would I recommend the Buttery – definitely not if you want reasonable service.
As a rider – I observed that during my visit, service and attention was preferentially focused on tables occupied by tourists, non-nationals and the like.
That's not good enough.

Very nice restaurant, a bit overpriced, I think. But the location is great, and you can't get much cheaper.
Best Irish Breakfast in all of Ireland. I purposely eat Irish Breakfast in every place we stay. This is hands down the best. The beans are delicious, the soda bread and sausage are clearly made in house. Peameal bacon instead of strips. Hash browns instead of French fries. Excellent coffee and nice atmosphere. Absolutely try this place.
