The best restaurantsof irish in Ballina

24/04/2025: We had a delicious meal here. The dining room is absolutely stunning and the staff were so helpful and well informed. Highly recommended.

01/03/2025: Very Disappointing Experience. My partner and myself stayed here for one night. On arrival to our room we were greeted with the most horrible smell from the bathroom drains which was overpowering for our entire stay. The bath was also dirty and rusted. We were left some stale biscuits in a jar in the room which we enjoyed looking out at the view through our dirty windows. We paid an extra 60 euro on arrival to use the leisure facilities. Surely for the price of the run down rooms this could have been included as it's the only draw to the property. I put on my robe and managed to get it tied up although all the loops had been torn off and went to the thermal suite. The suite is nice we enjoyed it but I think paying for it with the crazy room rates is a bit much. The evening restaurant lacks any atmosphere. It's like eating in a quiet airport bar and lacks any personality. We ordered our food and the starters were nice. The waiter brought our mains to the wrong table and left the man on the table beside us to eat my partner's steak while the rest of us had nothing. My food was brought back to the kitchen. They rushed my partner's medium steak and it came out rare, unrested and leaked all over the plate. My duck was at this stage dry, cold and horrible. Desserts were not nice. Dry tough pecan pie and a hard jelly like pana cotta. Not good enough when claiming high standards. Breakfast was fine but very slow and the food was just not great. Using the run off juice off the berry compote and putting it in a shot glass and calling it a super health shot was embarrassing and it's just not nice. Cutting corners and missing the small details will only last so long with those rates being charged. The restaurant is a soulless shambles. We would never recommend this place and will never return. No value whatsoever. Very disappointed with The Ice House.
