I had a very chunky and very tasty fish chowder to start which, to be honest, with some brown bread would have been more than adequate as a lunch on its own. Plenty of fish pieces in a creamy broth was a great antidote to a miserable day outside. For main, I had a burger and, even though the chowder was plenty, I soldiered through and glad I was too. The double deck burger was excellent, perfectly cooked in a brioche bun. The accompanying fries were excellent, or, at least those I had were, as my companion insisted on swiping them to go with her prawns. We lingered with friends over good coffees before waddling out after a swift two hours. For what we got, it was very reasonable too. Recommended.

Beautiful in…read morethe winter with the open fire roaring We were here this past Saturday for lunch and were seated immediately despite how busy they were. After a quick look on the menu we both opted for the Croque Monsieur with fries. The service at this point was very efficient. Our lunch was served and looked amazing, served on little wooden boards with the fries in small tin buckets. A few bites in, I noticed how greasy the bread was - really disappointing as everything else was perfect! Ham was beautiful and the cheese was creamy and delightful! Following lunch we fancied a coffee and a cake. So we waited to order. And we waited, and waited and waited. Finally after 20 minutes we just got up, paid and left. In fairness they were all glued to the match, but not great when a paying customer feels like they're bothering you! I do adore Fallons though, so will make sure there is no football scheduled next time I pop in!

My husband and I had a chance to dine at Chapter 16 after a recent outing at the nearby Kildare…read moreVillage shopping center. We called a few minutes before our arrival and the host graciously reserved a table for us, which was appreciated since they were dealing with a busy Saturday evening dinner service. For a starter, we shared an order of their smoked salmon salad, which came in a pretty display of mixed greens with feta and peeled orange, lightly dressed and sprinkled with freshly ground pepper, all anchored in a triangle of folded fillets and topped with crunchy fennel strips. It was refreshing to see that the bottom of the plate was practically dry after the last bite as opposed to the typical puddle of dressing in many restaurant salads. The dressing was citrus based, which provided a nice contrast to the salmon and cheese but the acidity took center stage to the rest of the flavors. My husband ordered for his entrée an 8 oz centre-cut fillet which came with a cornucopia of sides - a large, grilled flat cap mushroom, a slice of beefsteak tomato, onion rings, French fries and mashed potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was flavourful and had a nice non-pasty consistency. I was allowed to partake in the fries, which were beautifully done to a light golden exterior with fluffy interior and no after taste of over-used frying oil. Although the fillet was slightly undercooked (he asked for medium, and it came out medium rare), my husband found the dish generally satisfactory. My pan-fried fillets of seabass came on a bed of sauté mix - baby potatoes, roasted red pepper, greens, peas, shallots and fennel - a nice combination of raw nutty sweetness with some crunch to offset the buttery fish. Delicious! We wrapped up dinner with coffee and four scoops of ice cream to share (the 4th scoop was on the house!). Our entire dining experience was made extraordinary by the excellent service of the wait staff. They were professional and genuinely attentive. Definitely we'll return.

I love the food here. The carvery is just wonderful. It was…read morevery busy because it was lunch time but we were lucky enough to get a table. I was confused at the beginning, but the carvery is located at the back of the pub. You go there, pick your food and then go find a table. But if you want dessert or snack you order it from the menu (?). Anyway, they had a 2 courses meal for 13.95 - what I found a good deal. The roasted beef and the stuffing were really really good. I totally recommend it. The food comes in a big portion I nearly had no space left to dessert - but I had it in end! My friends had beef burritos (good) and fish from the carvery (boring). For dessert, death by chocolate. Man, lots of chocolate, I assure you. The staff were not that friendly (except from the lady at the cashier) but at least they worked fast.

Never have I been to a place where everyone literally raved about every course after the meal. I went for the soup...a force of habit. It was very tasty. But I tasted my father's garlic mushrooms and I could see why he had a broad grin on his face. My wife had a penne pasta starter with the most delicious sauce. What a great start! I went for a barbecued chicken main and I wasn't disappointed. That said, I think everyone in the group had something different and they were all impressed. I wasn't able for anything more than ice cream afterwards but I left the place feeling like I'd just eaten a meal fit for royalty! I have to mention the staff as well. Not only did they return to the table with the food and gave everyone their correct plate without having to ask who had ordered what but they were also attentive in an understated way. If anyone asks me where to go for dinner in Tullamore, I won't be able to anything other than "The Acorn".

Mains: Ordered a turkey, bacon, onion stuffing and cranberry sauce dish. Hands down one of the best meals I've ever eaten ( I travel professionally around the world and eat well). The essence of Thanksgiving on a plate plus perfectly fresh veggies and a baked potato. My wife LOVED the Salmon, my Mother-in-law had a fish Trio and my son Pasta.

After our meal we had a lovely conversation with the owner and learned about her husband Greg (the Chef) Combined they make a perfect front and back of the house pair. *.

Harte's is deserving of all the positive praise one can give and we will make this a stop on our next visit.
