Vaughans on the Prom in Lahinch

Vaughans is one of my favorite restaurants however after eating there today I was surprised at the small portions with a high price for the monkfish. Both myself and my husband ordered this and were really surprised at the portion. It was very small. My husband was still hungry after eating. Being charged over €30 and not being satisfied is not good. My husband felt it was like 1 portion divided in two. We gave feedback to the waiter who said it was what it is and that was it. I had eaten chowder earlier so I wasn’t hungry after dinner but if I hadn’t I definitely would have been if I hadn’t eaten previously. Both the chowder and the fish and chips my son had was lovely. And the staff were very nice

A great lunch stop on the way to the Cliffs of Moher. Vaughan’s was exactly what we wanted—good food, a great view and a relaxed atmosphere. The mussels were excellent and made for a perfect lunch by the coast. The burger was fantastic, especially the bun, which was really good and made the whole burger stand out. Everything was fresh, tasty and satisfying without trying to be overly fancy. Service was fairly basic but perfectly good and efficient. Combined with the views and the quality of the food, we were very happy with our stop here. Definitely worth stopping for lunch if you're traveling through the area. Great mussels, a fantastic burger and a beautiful setting.

Delicious, fresh seafood with a stunning sea view. Glad we tried this restaurant for ourselves as there were some recent negative reviews.

The food is decent, although unless you order the fish and chips, the portions are disappointingly small for the price. The wine is also overpriced. Overall, a lovely location overlooking the beach, and the service was excellent, but we felt the food and drinks were not good value for money and we left feeling a little ripped off.

wow what an amazing place to stop for a drink or food with the most beautiful view , and sunset if you are lucky . visited three times in three days culminating in a saturday eve meal which was absolutely delicious . crab claws , sea bass with leeks and langoustine and lastly the best crème brûlée i have had for years ! excellent friendly service made this a fantastic place .

Great seafood soup and crab claws and lobster roll

Very tasty and very nice staff. Thank you very much 🌻

The food was good, I enjoyed my halibut, but the whole experience got coloured by the intensity of some ten younger guests dining at the same time, some of them crawling under and around the tables, occasionally trying to make friends with other guests.

Stopped for lunch. A great location overlooking the beach. Fish and chips fresh and tasty. Burger decent. A little expensive but you are paying location and view!!

We had a reservation at this restaurant and arrived only a few minutes early. Despite being advertised as a high-end establishment, the service was shockingly poor from the moment we arrived. Nobody greeted us when we entered. We waited outside, where every table was already occupied, and then went inside because there was no staff available to assist us. Even after sitting down, nobody approached us for quite some time. Eventually, a waitress came over and, in a very unfriendly manner, told us that the restaurant was not open yet and that we should go somewhere else, sit outside, and order drinks while we waited. The problem was that there were no available seats outside, and we had already made a reservation. It is difficult to understand why guests with a reservation could not simply wait inside for a few minutes. Being effectively told to leave despite having a booking was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. This was one of the worst customer service experiences we have ever had. We left without ordering anything, and after the way we were treated, that was probably for the best. Absolutely not what you would expect from a restaurant that presents itself as a premium dining destination. One star.
