We were recently in Vaughans for a family dinner during a family break in Clare - 8 people over 3 generations - it’s not our 1st time here ! We came back for more having had a super meal here a couple of years ago - the menu is predominantly fish .. but steak on the menu too. We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 courses - the scallops were delicious and the monkfish, halibut & steak deserve a special mention too. All delicious - Spoonies Icecream on the desert menu with yuzu caramel was a firm favourite- service was very efficient but not the friendliest waiter - a smile here or there would not have went a stray ! But that is our only criticism. We thoroughly enjoyed & highly recommend this spot for dinner.
Anyone who leaves less than 5 stars must be very unlucky or dead inside! The friendliest staff, delicious food, comfortable rooms and a wonderful atmosphere. Did I mention how brilliant the staff are? Go for the Tattinger Champagne experience. Great value.
classy and decadent. we got the monkfish and fish and chips for main, and oysters and seafood soup for starters. delicious fish and veggies full of butter, which i don’t mind. they did play an ed sheeran song. oysters were amazing. okay they are playing U2 now.
Had another great meal here today. I make a point of swinging by any time I’m in West Clare.
We had a few pieces from their starter menu for lunch, all were excellent. The Vietnamese dressing on the oysters was sensational.
The chips are done in beef dripping and are incredible, the best in Ireland.
The food was amazing, and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend if you like seafood and if you’re near the Cliffs of Moher. We had oysters to start, followed by halibut and lamb and the crème brûlée and the brownie.
We got a Xmas gift for here the reservation was made for 6.30 pm last ngt for party of 4 we also stayed overnight in Vaughan’s .From min we arrived approx 5 pm we were greeted with such amazing friendly and helpful staff all young but knew their job .Our meal was outstanding and the chefs complimentary homemade mushroom soup served in cup and saucer with divine fruit bread was a nice surprise plus tasted gorg .The open fire in the bar was a lovely touch .Have to compliment the owners of the bar/restaurant on their clever use of the BNB rooms upstairs beautiful rooms and the MOST COMFY bed we’ve ever slept in over all r nite away stay and meal was 10/10 the only negative I have is when I’m away I always strip the bed before we leave and the mattress WASNT CLEAN we stayed in room 7
10/06/2025: Nine of us arrived on 10/06 after the kitchen closed and they kindly fed us anyway.
Courteous service, generous portions, very good and tasty food. Convenient price... I would go back tomorrow.
Thanks
03/05/2025: Stopped in for a late lunch on the way to the Cliffs. Had the special - roast beef with mashed potatoes and veggies. Gravy was delicious and the creamy horseradish was amazing! Service was quick and friendly. Thank you for the quick scrumptious meal chased by a tasty pint of Guinness! Grabbed a few orders of chips for the road.
