The best restaurantsof irish in Mayo

29/03/2025: Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great pints of Guinness

29/12/2024: Great hot chocolates with marshmallow and really good homemade cakes and cream. 😁. Really great

09/03/2025: The bar food was lovely and had a great menu. We ended up going there three times; however, every time we went there, and this happened to every other table as well, the food always arrived before any drinks. Had to ask for water and where our drinks were. It took about 10 mins for the food to come out, which is brilliant; however, 10 mins after the food arrived, still no drinks. Had to ask staff every time for the drinks. I wouldn't say anything if this only happened once, but every time we visited, this happened; it also happened to every other table.

23/11/2024: Went with friends for coffee a couple of wks ago and meant to write a quick review here just to say it was very enjoyable with great service from the very competent Mairead. She’s friendly and great at her job. Went for a bite to eat this evening with two friends and the experience was very good again. The hotel was warm, with beautiful Christmas decorations up and the food was lovely and not over priced. All the staff were lovely.

08/09/2024: It's very disappointing because we didn't even qualify. On the Internet it is written that it is open, but we found a sign on the door that it is closed. We were detoured from the route because of this cafe

23/08/2024: Stopped here for a quick sandwich, very tasty and fresh. The staff were friendly.

20/04/2025: Top notch food and service in a beautiful dining area. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and attentive. Both breakfast and dinner are not to be missed

24/12/2024: The George V Restaurant at Ashford Castle offers a truly magical atmosphere, especially during the festive season. The elegant Christmas decorations, the historic castle setting, and the warmth of the fireplace create a charming and luxurious ambiance that makes the visit feel special from the moment you arrive. While the atmosphere was impeccable, the overall experience fell short in other areas. The food, unfortunately, was inconsistent. The scallops were overcooked and overwhelmed by a chaotic plate presentation, while the winter salad impressed with its fresh ingredients and creative dressing. The black sole fillet was cooked well but accompanied by two types of potatoes, making it feel less refined, more akin to pub fare than fine dining. Desserts were limited to mousses and soufflés, with no cakes or other creative options, highlighting the need for a skilled pâtissier to add variety and finesse to the menu. Service, though attentive in some respects, did not meet the standards expected of such a prestigious venue. Key oversights included: Coats were not taken upon arrival, an unusual omission in a high-end setting. Wine was served only after the food had been brought to the table, disrupting the natural flow of the meal. Basic fine dining etiquette was missing. For instance: Serving and clearing from incorrect sides. Crossing into guests' personal space rather than walking around the table. Stacking plates while clearing. Not replacing dropped napkins promptly. Additionally, the waiting staff lacked the refinement and poise expected at such an establishment, detracting from the overall sense of occasion. That said, we appreciated Manager Andrej's warm attention and the thoughtful anniversary treat, which added a personal touch to the evening. However, given the steep pricing, the value for money was disappointing. The quality of both food and service does not justify the high cost, leaving us feeling that the experience lacked the polish and excellence one expects at such a renowned location. While the ambiance and charm are undeniable, significant improvements in both service etiquette and culinary execution are needed to make the George V Restaurant a truly exceptional dining destination.

19/04/2025: A great place to relax, I really enjoyed everything! Thank you to everyone! The staff did a great job!

07/04/2025: Staff here are good, coffee is fine sandwiches taste fine. But all is overpriced
