15/03/2025: I’d wanted to get here last year but it didn’t plan out, so took my parents and the doggo today for a long drive from Dublin to this fabulous cafe on the banks of river Barrow. Firstly the cafe - it is absolutely amazing to find a place run by an entrepreneur who is providing excellent flavourful fresh food, beautifully presented in a place full of history - all the while creating employment in a small community. Kudos 🙌 Not only were we looked after, Mr Doggo 🐶 was treated to a lovely bowl of chicken on the house by the very generous and friendly owner…. He has new fan following - tail wagging all the way back to Dublin. The river meanders through a beautiful lush valley, the walks around here a so picturesque, fills your lungs with fresh air and your soul with tranquility. Visit this gem of a place once and you’ll go back over and over again. I know we will. All at the cafe - thank you - keep up the great work, wishing you very well.

14/03/2025: Never got to try the food because we were told… “ you’ll be waiting a long time” I wasn’t pleased at all! Can’t answer any of the next questions because the wouldn’t serve us! The atmosphere was nice outside by the river

31/03/2025: Went here Saturday 29th March, 5 of us, all 5 had starters and a main, couldn't fit in desert, the starters were fantastic, 1 deep fried brie, 3 chicken tacos, 1 chicken wings Mains were even better, 1 stir fried noodles, 2 chicken satay curry, 1 burger, 1 chicken burger The whole meal was perfect, the service was amazing and there was a good feel to the place, we're pretty local but haven't been here for years but we'll definitely be going back, we all agreed it was the best meal out we've had for years, well done to all the team

09/03/2025: Absolutamente terrible establecimiento. Nos quedamos esperando a que nos sentaran a pesar de que solo estaba medio lleno y dos de las chicas que trabajaban allí se quedaron hablando y riendo en el bar. Cuando finalmente nos sentamos la chica se alejó inmediatamente sin preguntar si queríamos una copa mientras miraba el menú. Una chica diferente vino a tomar el pedido de bebidas y estaba tan desinteresada y grosera que decidimos irnos. No vamos a volver y vamos a disuadir a amigos y familiares de ir allí. Terrible atención al cliente y personal muy poco profesional.

15/02/2025: Hola, este lugar en el que hemos estado diría que al menos 6 veces y siempre ha entregado calidad de precio y servicio al cliente. ¡Desafortunadamente esta vez no lo ha hecho! El menú establecido siempre fue de 40 € por persona durante 3 platos y pagas extra por el té / café al final, que está totalmente bien. Antes de salir de San Valentín echamos un vistazo rápido en la página web del menú de muestras y los precios subieron a 49€. 95 y el té / café es extra que todavía pensamos que estaba bien para lo que estás llegando allí. Así que a la llegada nos entregaron un “Menú de San Valentín” que era de € 60 personas para un entrante, plato principal y una selección compartida de postres más té / café. El entrante era encantador, el plato principal era muy promedio de tamaño de porción uniforme del pescado y luego cuando obtuvimos la selección de postres para compartir fueron 4 pequeñas muestras realmente de diferentes postres que formarían un postre normal. Así que en teoría nuestro desglose de precios lo pagamos cada uno, 20€ para empezar, 20€ para nuestro principal y 20€ para una selección compartida de postres de muestra. No pudimos pedir ningún otro menú. Pensamos que esto era muy astuto la forma en que se hizo el menú. También la cerveza de barril no estaba disponible, ya que los grifos no funcionaban, pero está bien que estas cosas puedan suceder. El personal como de costumbre era 10 / 10. Desafortunadamente, no creemos que volvamos pronto. Sé que las cosas han subido desde el precio de la inflación, pero esto fue demasiado alto para lo que se dio en el menú.
