22/05/2025: Best bar in celbridge,ger runs an excellent service 👏 & ala beautiful pint of guinness

05/09/2025: Been ordering delivery from here for awhile and it's been great - burgers have been delicious, onion rings super crispy and moreish. Great portions. However, the fries are bad - they're lukewarm, not crispy, dry, and tough. Tastes and feel stale. Might just start leaving them out in future orders.

26/07/2025: I recently visited Backyard Diner in Leixlip, eager to satisfy a craving for a good beef burger. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations, proving that not every glittering thing is gold. The smash burger I ordered was quite disappointing. The bun was soggy, and the burger itself had a peculiar, off-putting smell with absolutely no discernible taste. It was a far cry from the flavorful beef burger I had hoped for. To accompany the burger, I ordered fries, but they were entirely dried out and frankly, inedible. This added to the overall frustration of the meal. In my opinion, this was a waste of money. Based on this experience, I will not be buying from Backyard Diner again.

09/07/2025: There was live jazz music! The atmosphere was super!

25/06/2025: Fletcher’s Bar is one of those places that just gets it right. It’s cosy, friendly, and full of character – a proper traditional pub that doesn’t try too hard, because it doesn’t need to. It’s dog friendly (always a win), and there’s a real laid-back vibe that makes you feel instantly welcome. The kind of spot where you can walk in on your own and end up chatting with someone at the bar like you’ve known them for years. Best of all? They serve Murphy’s – and not many places do these days. It’s poured perfectly and tastes just as it should. Just the place to take the dog after a walk, Fletcher’s ticks all the boxes. Can’t recommend it enough.

31/10/2025: Food was delivered so quickly and as ordered. We all enjoyed it. So much to choose from and really tasty.

23/10/2025: Very nice good. Worker very nice.

18/09/2025: I drunk a really good hot chocolate and I ate a delicious crunchy brownie. It's a nice place. I recommend.

22/07/2025: Beautiful restaurant and great food. Well done all 👌

15/07/2025: While I enjoyed the evening spent here, I’d put a lot of that on the member of staff that looked after us. The food was good and the service was friendly throughout. Given our party size we ended up being seated outside and the weather made this quite pleasant , however as the sun started to set it was obvious that given Dublins normal weather schedule of rain, the focus hadn’t been on making the outside area as special as the inside. The setting is lovely with large trees and garden to look over but there was no fairy lights in the parasol, very little lighting at all in fact. No outdoor gas fires (unless the large black ash tray is normally a fire), no attention to detail that you’d expect from a fairmont (see fairmont whistler for the perfect example of an outdoor space done right). Tables weren’t prioritised over the inside so dirty glassware were left way longer than should have been. Out of the extensive wine list only 2 and eventually zero wines were left despite the women’s open being over a week ago so a restock should have been done. There was also a hair in one of my parties dish that was just brushed off and one of our drinks came with crud on the glass so somethings slipping abit somewhere. Nevertheless, enjoyed my evening here but expected more from a fairmont restaurant.

26/09/2025: Great atmosphere! Everyone was friendly and accommodating

08/09/2025: Enjoyed a quality coffee and sandwich here today. Worth a visit

12/10/2025: Lovely hotel the staff are very nice and cannot do enough for you. Small issue checking in (not the hotels problem ) but the manager came and sorted it rapidly. It is very well run and the manager is always around the bar ,restaurant and even the late bar. We had dinner in The front bar and it was beautiful also breakfast the next morning was great and plentiful . Will definitely be back again for a longer stay.

12/10/2025: Hotel is not modern nor is it 4*. I would leave 0 stars if possible. The adjoining bar has a “late license” so music is playing until 2am which you can clearly hear in the rooms, with staff not caring in the slightest. Rooms are not sound-proofed in any way and noise from adjoining rooms can also be heard. Stay elsewhere.

15/07/2025: Great spot. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

13/07/2025: Great place to visit the staff are excellent the food is first class and they have great music at the weekend.

09/08/2025: We love this place! Great food, situated in the heart of Clane. Staff are so friendly and it’s reasonably priced with good portion sizes for kids. Cannot recommend enough! Lovely place 😊

07/08/2025: J.D. SPECIAL IS A MUST top dish

07/10/2025: Great food Great Service Excellent value Friendly staff Ample parking

25/09/2025: I have a gluten-free allergies and this restaurant caters for both. I had two poached eggs with bacon and gluten free bread. The food was really good. Service was great and friendly. Definitely good value for your money.

22/09/2025: Iced caramel lattes were amazing. Kids had milkshakes that went down an absolute treat. The ladies are gems, lovely, warm, and welcoming.

23/08/2025: Lovely coffee in a lovely setting. Highly recommended!

13/10/2025: Went in for a quick drink and bite. Crème Brûlée was on point. My custom rum drink was also very good.

06/10/2025: Quite pricey but beautiful mocktails and variety of vegetarian options available , good food
