06/06/2026: Ordered cappuccino and caramel roulette!! Coffee arrived first & 10 minutes minutes later still no dessert!!! Spoke to staff & explained!! another 10 minutes went and it eventually came then I told her our coffee was cold & asked for hot water!!I Got no apology at all none of the staff were friendly so for that reason we will not be returning a simple apology is all that was needed
02/06/2026: We had chicken wings, bruschetta, and a Caesar salad.
Unfortunately, it was anything but tasty. The chicken wings were lukewarm with so much sauce on them that we had to scrape it off, and the Caesar salad had sloppy lettuce and practically no dressing. Overall, the food was presented very carelessly.
You can tell the chef isn't passionate about it.
What a shame.
This was the worst meal we've had so far on our 14-day trip to Ireland.
The service couldn't redeem it either.
Even though the restaurant wasn't busy, we had to wait a long time for service.

Flanagan's on the Lake
Ballina
29/04/2026: waited a good 10 minutes to be seated , it was busy but not over busy , staff walked past ourselves and another couple and dissappeared into the bar .
when we were seated and given a menu the choices offered were not to our taste or palatte , a lot of the dishes were served in spicey piri piri or other ' asian theamed' sauces ,all very nice if you are in india or sri lanka but this is IRELAND and there was a lack of TRADITIONAL IRISH FOOD on offer !
a lot of the offerings here are exactly the same or very very similar to a lot of OTHER establishments in ireland these days which in my experiance points toward dishes being ' bought in pre prepared' rather than made on the premisis .
in the end after veiwing the menu and waiting to be served we decided to go elsewhere and left .
24/04/2026: Good food , lovely location right on the river bank.

Boruma Gastro Bar
Ballina
19/08/2025: We had lunch in the his bar and found it average at best, we were upstairs over looking the bridge, the view was good but the seating was old, with damaged tember and very uncomfortable, this bar/restaurant would need to take advantage of their location and give the place a well needed makeover.
The staff were very friendly and the food was fresh.
06/07/2025: Food was terrible, worst burger I ever had
