15/03/2026: After enjoying several elegant 5- and 8-course meals at Dromoland Castle and other fine dining restaurants during our vacation, my husband and I decided to look for a great steakhouse. After a long day of sightseeing, we came across this spot — and I must say, it was a 10 out of 10. This was by far the best food we had in all of Ireland. We are from Las Vegas, so we’re admittedly a bit spoiled when it comes to great dining, but this restaurant absolutely delivered. The staff, the food, and the pricing were all spot on. If we’re ever lucky enough to visit Ireland again, we will definitely be back. And if you’re planning a trip, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit. Thank you for the fantastic food and excellent service!

30/12/2025: Nice place to visit. Large portions and delicious food.

30/12/2025: I visited this place on 29th December at around 3:15 pm intending to order the day’s special sandwich, but my experience was very disappointing. Instead of preparing it fresh, I saw the staff member take the sandwich straight from the refrigerator. I don’t understand how a “day’s special” can be sold from a fridge rather than being freshly made. On top of that, the girl behind the counter was using the same gloves to touch her phone, handle other items, and then serve food without changing them. This is extremely unhygienic and unacceptable in a food service environment. Due to the poor hygiene practices maintained by the food handler, I will not be returning and cannot recommend this place to others. After seeing this I couldn’t even eat the wraps that I order and had to dump. Unfortunately 17 euros that I spent there went straight to trash
