17/02/2026: Fantastic restaurant. Love overall atmosphere, friendly staff. The food is persistently amazing, mindfully prepared, every dish is perfectly balanced, outstanding presentation. Thank you for the experience ❤️

04/07/2026: Had a lovely meal at Shades in Cavan. I had the large beef taco with salad, and my husband had the slow-cooked beef with spicy chips both were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, the service was excellent, and the restaurant has a warm, cozy atmosphere. I wasn’t a fan of the Mila cocktail, but that didn’t take away from an otherwise fantastic experience. If I’m back in Cavan, I’ll definitely be returning to Shades.

11/05/2026: Peoples in Cavan was an amazing experience from start to finish. The dishes are beautifully presented, full of flavor, and the menu has plenty of great options at very reasonable prices. The pork belly starter was absolutely sensational, and the portions are very generous too. The cocktails are mouthwatering, and the whole atmosphere of the restaurant is stunning, modern while still feeling elegant and classic. Everything we tried was delicious, and you can really tell there’s a lot of care put into both the food and the overall experience.

30/04/2026: Always really good food and top class service every time I have been here. Would recommend to anyone

19/03/2026: Visited Lakeside Manor today, lovely location and food was brilliant. Although the place is beautiful the staff lets this place down unfortunately. We had a lovely waiter at the start and then a woman continued the service for the rest of the evening. We asked for drinks, she could not have been any more rude and we felt uncomfortable from her responses. We were given no cutlery or basic condiments. When we asked for some, we were walked away from with no acknowledgement. As people who work in hospitality we thought this response was absurd and it put a damper to our evening. We will still return as it’s a lovely spot and the food is great, however this could be worked on for future reference.

15/03/2026: Nic spot.... Service n staff God, n have the chats. Rooms grand..

12/06/2026: Have never stayed in a room in the Crystal, but have attended baby sensory classes, popped in for a drink and even got married there as part of the Cavan registry office services. No matter what I've been in for, the staff are always wonderful, courteous and helpful! Today in particular our car died following a sensory class in the hotel and the lovely chap on reception (sorry I didn't get your name) called Freddy from Maintenance to see if he could help. We got the car going quickly and super appreciate how helpful and sympathetic everyone was as we had a small baby in the car too. This only solidifies in my mind how great the crystal is and how often I'll be recommending them to friends and family ❤️

03/06/2026: Class place, great drink, excellent food., never let's ya down
