   Nice Christmas atmosphere, pianist playing piano however it was a tad too high in volume, not sure you can tweak piano volume. Conversation was difficult during those piano recitals. Lovely music well played I must add. Cauliflower & potato curry was too dry, we had to ask for more curry sauce. While the sauce was nice the cauliflower/potato/rice combination was bland in taste /colour & needed something else, green spinach maybe or another contrasting colour & texture. Warm apple sponge dessert was not warm. After all the fuss with ordering more sauce, my aunt didn’t want to fuss then over the dessert. The food was just ok.

   While it is very nice to have a leisurely lunch, service was very slow. Dirty dishes were left on table for a very long time after we had finished. Food and ambience is very good.

   We had lunch here in the lobby . The hotel is looking beautiful with the Christmas decorations which gave a lovely atmosphere. Food was good although quite expensive for some things . Dessert €15 way over the top ! Staff v pleasant and helpful

   Afternoon tea was a disappointment. Others at the table who ordered hot food were not overly impressed with their dishes especially cold sweet potatoe fries. Service was hot and miss…. Our waiter decided after an hour we had been sitting and served with drinks to put table cloths down on the three tables….not exactly a 5 star dining experience

   We ordered Sliders that arrived cold & our waiter kindly replaced them - and the new ones were also cold, the buns were part frozen, the burger was cold & the cheese wasn’t melted. One of our guests ordered a chicken burger, which was literally sliced chicken breast in a bun! Very disappointing!

   A very pleasant experience. We were happy to stay and chat - no rushed feeling. Danielle was friendly and helpful in her service. Thank you! The Lamb chops main was succulent - I will return for that!

    we had dinner at 7.30 on Saturday - we left at 9.75pm having waited an hour for our starter - which was a long wait but the food was really good. we waited another hour for the main - I had the vegetarian Cauliflower and mash which was reheated , watery and inedible. my husband had striploin and he had ordered it medium rare - it was overcooked and vegetables were re heated. He ordered extra chips - they never came My daughters chicken nuggets were really good we left as it was way past our daughters bedtime and the meal was so bad we were not going to wait another hour for another disappointment it was also my husbands birthday dinner. if there is a wedding in your establishment your other guests should not have to suffer for it. your kitchen is obviously way understaffed and under pressure waitress was brilliant I have to praise Ines she did her best in a bad situation. the manager did come to talk to us as we left when he saw our full plates as we could not eat food. .

    Dear Anonymous, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your dining experience with us. We were saddened to read that what should have been a lovely birthday dinner experience for you and your family was definitely not on this occasion and certainly not the experience, we want any of our guests to have. We have shared your review to our culinary team regarding the delay and food quality. Knowing how crucial this is to our culinary team, this constructive feedback will be a great opportunity to improve their procedures and food offerings. We are delighted that our waitress, Ines did her best in her service. We are hoping to welcome you back soon so we can look after you to the standard we pride ourselves on. Kind Regards, John Erickson Lobby Lounge and Bar Manager
