The Golf Links Inn in Portmarnock

13/03/2024: We arranged to have a nice Mother's day meal here with my parents and family. My sister made the booking and shared all the details. She was then contacted by the restaurant to ask to call into the restaurant to pay a deposit. She was unable to do so as she did not live in Dublin so I did, which I found a bit inconvenient as I have a newborn. On the day of the meal, none of the staff mentioned that the table needed to be cleared by 16.00 until it was 15.45, at which point we had only received our desserts and we were looking to order coffees and tea. The manager (who had come to take the coffee and tea order) told us in quite an abrupt way that we needed to be quick about the order as he needed the table back by 16.00, first time we were told this. We had enjoyed the meal up until this point as we felt that the manager's attitude was quite abrupt and could have been a bit more pleasant. I honestly felt we were short of being pushed out the door. We found the two other waiters on the day to be very nice and accommodating. The experience we had at the end of the meal left a bad taste. Unfortunately, as a local, I won't return to this restaurant.
