    We had a fabulous evening in The Wicklow Escape. We had a family dinner to celebrate my husbands birthday and everyone, incl. the kids enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. The food was outstanding and so was the service. The place is beautiful and we will definitively back for an overnight stay.

    We had a great experience here, the food was fantastic and the service was so personal. My gluten free diet was catered to brilliantly and the chef even made a gluten free pie as part of the main so we got to experience the whole tasting menu. We will definitely be back and would recommend if you love an exciting menu!

    A wonderful experience. The dining area was beautiful, cosy and quiet. The food was superb - I had the vegan menu and the food was imaginative and full of flavour. Neither my partner nor I were able to drink the wine, and we not only got delicious non-alcoholic drinks but we were also given a generous discount off the set price. Highly recommended.
