    Traveling abroad in Ireland has been swell on my first morning. There aren't many spots to eat at…read more12pm around Glendalough. I'm so glad I found this cozy, warm, earth-toned restaurant. The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

    Completed a 5 mile hike on Kippure and was time to reenergize. This highly rated restaurant was a…read morelittle out of the way but close enough to give it a try. This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way. Place seems like a great place To hang outside during warmer weather although it seemed the staff was short handed.

    Maybe I'm just a simpleton and don't get fine food. The service was impeccable but I didn't find…read morethe food all that tantalizing. I was here for a corporate event and didn't have to pay for the experience but I didn't leave wowed by the experience. The appetizer was ricotta cheese, followed by a sherbet then the main course of beef. They did serve a dessert that was excellent that night. The menu changes from day to day so who knows what you may get. While the service was good the overall experience was slow. We started eating at 7:45 PM and didn't leave until almost 11. The next night given the option of eating here again or at the bar I went for the quick and simple option.

    A night or two in Brook lodge is a treat and if you want to ppush the boat out even further the…read moreStrawberry Tree is a great option. the restaurant is billed as an Organic diner which is not something I'd take a whole lot of notice of, all I want is a good meal and nice atmosphere - both of which are supplied in abundance. The Décor is a little odd - very dark with velvet covered walls, marbled effect carpet, many candles and a shiny 70s-esque ceiling, not sure what they were going for but the overall effect is, as I say, odd! The wine list is good - actually very good but pricewise not for the faint hearted, we started with 2 glasses of a really exceptional New Zealand Sauv Blanc before moving on to a very respectable Australian Shiraz (can't remember the names but there were not many that fit the description!) I started with a chicken dish, followed by an excellent broth and mains was a slow roasted pork dish. All of it tasty but sweet jeebus, a HUGE meal.... you will only dine here once during your stay (unless you are there for a month!!) We fairly rolled out of the place, fit for nothing but bed; a worthwhile experience, definitely to be tried once!
