We had high hopes for CellarOne based on the reviews. Although service, live music, and ambience…read morewere very nice, our meals were a huge let down. Our salad lacked flavor. The duck leg was highly recommended by our server who said that the meat just melts off the bone. It was anything but. The meat was so tough I could barely cut and chew it... and left almost all of it on my plate. It was served with very tiny slivers of sweet potato chips with odd tasting berries. When I complained to the server (who had been absent a while), she apologized and said I wished I had told her sooner... but I couldn't find her. The stone bass was thick and bland tasting. The one saving grace was the brownie dessert.

The room I booked at our Killarney hotel, The Ross, came with daily breakfast and one dinner at…read moretheir restaurant, CellarOne. The restaurant is one level below the trendy and beautiful bar and lounge, and has a stunning upscale ambience, not industrial, but warm and welcoming. As with many restaurants in Ireland, they offer a two or three-course prix fixe menu; here it was 29 or 39 euro, a quarter to a third higher than the usual run-of-the-mill place. But it was definitely worth it, even if it hadn't been included with our room. Ours was the two-course; we could choose either a starter or dessert, so we had starters. Mine was the spinach/rocket/strawberry/walnuts/fried goat cheese salad. I don't like rocket (we call it arugula), and it was no problem to have that changed to lettuce. It came with a raspberry walnut dressing, and was delicious. My husband chose Risotto over an Arrabbiata/tomato jam sauce. They turned up as three plump Italian rice balls, and the dish was equally delectable. My husband had the Linguine Pasta for his main. It was outstanding, and I wish I'd ordered it, too. But I picked the prawns. I had high hopes, since everything else had been so good. Alas, they were awful, with a strange, unidentifiable taste, not quite iodine-y although, since I've never dined on iodine, maybe that's what it was. The manager, Miriama, was apologetic and so willing to swap it for something else, but I was already full and was satisfied with a very good cup of coffee. If this hadn't been marred by the terrible prawns, it would have been a 5-star rave. But overall, the dining experience was so lovely, and the service and ambience so good, that I have to give it 4.

I paired it with one of their locally brewed lagers, which was crisp, refreshing, and a great match for the meal. The biggest surprise was the mushroom soup. It was rich, velvety, and absolutely exquisite, served with warm house made bread that was impossible to stop eating. What truly made the experience exceptional was the hospitality. Every member of the staff was warm, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel at home. Fresh local ingredients, fantastic beer, unforgettable food, and wonderful service. Market Lane deserves every bit of its five stars. Highly recommended!

Small pork pie's pastry had some slightly overburnt and had spots, but it was crispy overall. The filling was seasoned nicely, but could use a bit more gravy or juice. The blackberry sundae with ice cream was nicely done, silky texture ice cream, sundae was rich in blackberry flavor. Other elements provide a diversity of mouthfeel, but I felt some of them were a bit of nuisance as their textures sometimes did not feel harmonized together.

The stew was superb,it had plenty of lamb and nicely cut pieces of potato and root vegetables. This was the best stew by far after having stew twice while in Dublin. The fish was good but not the best I've had and the chips were a little lukewarm. Once at the bar we enjoyed some drinks and stayed for the live music until closing. Also, Michael gave us some great recommendations for places to go in Cork. Glad we found this pub and I'd recommend it to travelers.
