    We had a wonderful dinner to celebrate a friend's 80th Birthday. Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and said they would visit the Clare Castle again - a hidden gem! A big shout out to the staff who were extremely helpful and always smiling - nothing was too much trouble. If you haven't visited Clare Castle - you should - I highly recommend the garlic prawns!

    Only feedback was we ordered two steaks one medium rare and one medium. Medium rare was cooked to be perfection!! Unfortunately the medium was past well done, dry and unedible. Overall we enjoyed our visit but wouldn’t order the steak again. Thanks

    Booked last night for the Wednesday Night $25 Parma & Pot in the Dining Room. The meal was fabulous - great chicken parma (it was real chicken, not some cheap processed looking thing). Came with chips and salad and was really delicious. We bought ourselves a 2nd beer so the meal with 2 beers came to about $33. A real bargain on a Wednesday night.
