Modern and pleasant. Fabulously magnificent light shades that my partner somehow initially missed! Down to business. We went for the Chefs menu, which was excellent value at 24.95 EUR for three courses. Two courses was 20.95 EUR. To start I went for the Smoked Salmon & Pate, my partner the Ham Hock Terrine. Delicious, both delicious. The salmon especially. Plenty of smoked salmon that was just melt in the mouth. For mains I went for the Slow Roast Pork Belly, my partner the Caribbean Chicken Fricassee. The pork had lots and lots of meat and was cooked perfectly. The accompanying vegetables and jus worked very very well. My partner was really really pleased with his main course. He was still talking about it a few days later. I am sure he will describe it adequately in his review. For wine we picked Old Coach Road, a 2012 Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, 32 EUR. This worked wonderfully with my meal. We shared a dessert, which you pick from the A la carte menu, even though it part of the Chef menu deal. We picked the Chocolate Brown. Sweet mother divine, so so good. Each dish was presented immaculately. The service was excellent. Siobhan and co were very attentive and friendly to boot. We had a nice albeit brief chat with Siobhan at the end. Brennan's Lane is fantastic. And for 24.95 EUR, excellent value. It was the best meal of our whole week long trip a long the west coast. We are very grateful to Dolores at the Red River Lodge B&B for recommending it to us.

I've been in Ireland for 18 months now and been visiting for 5 years…read more I can honestly say this was the best 3 courses of food I have had since I have been here, all for the early bird price of 24 euro. For starters I had a duck terrine with a plum pickle. It was very nice, with a few pieces of bread it also had another pickle which I cant remember what it was but it was also nice! For my main course I had a Caribbean Chicken Curry with Jasmine rice, I love Caribbean food and this was truly lovely. The chicken was so moist and delicious I have never had its like before. For desert I had a chocolate brownie with a toffee sauce and homemade ice cream a sugar twirl and biscuit crumbs. It was amazing. The food was also substantial which is very unusal, but very welcome. The restaurant was really nice but you do need to go upstairs through a bar which can be busy. But don't let it put you off. The decor upstairs is great and the staff are really really nice. All in all this is the first review for 5 stars which I wish there was a way of putting an extra star or exclamation mark on the review. If you are near here take a trip. Its awesome. My partner also fully enjoyed the evening but I honestly was so engrossed in my own food I cant even remember what she had!

The restaurant in the hotel looked very boring so we decided to check out Porterhouse. When we arrived there it was FULL with locals. As we had a toddler , so they seated us in a private dining area outside the bar to comply with the regulation that kids aren't allowed in bars after 9 pm. Our server was very friendly. The staff was really good! He took our orders, got us to try a few beers and whiskeys before we finalized our orders to ensure that we really enjoy what we order. At this point we were just blown away by the hospitality despite being extremely crowded. We ordered two pints of beer, a shot of whiskey, fish and chips and a vegetarian curry dish. Everything tasted fantastic. The place itself was huge and the ambiance was of the traditional Irish pub. Brick walls, good music, fantastic pours, great food and warm smiles all around.

Good atmosphere and the staff was very nice. 5/5 - quiche with goat cheese, spinach & potato. It paired perfectly with the salad which was a mix of leafy greens, chickpea salad, and pickled beets.

My husband ordered this, it was really good. 6/5 - lemon blueberry muffin & plain croissant. We got this take away for a snack later. I'm sad I didn't try to there because it was amazing and I would have ordered more. They really know what they are doing with the pastries.

We found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We decided to get the Cranberry and Stuffing Bap and the Creamy Chicken Tikka Wrap. The Cranberry and Stuffing Bap was absolutely delicious. The Chicken Tikka Wrap was also good but not quite as good. The chips that they came with were also very good. We also got a side of cheese fries with curry mayo which was very good and some milkshakes which weren't very good. It's a fast casual restaurant, so you order at the counter, find a seat, and wait for them to bring your food out to you. Our service was fast.

When you are a sandwich place there is a lot of competition, so you need to have good service too if you want to make it. I went there with my boyfriend and after ordering and paying we sat down to eat our food. There were maybe 3 more people in the shop, all minding their own business, some reading the paper. I put my arm around my boyfriend's neck and was smiling and telling him something when the owner came over to tell us it was "inappropriate" behaviour and it was not that kind of place and we should stop. This was deeply humiliating as neither of us are teenagers anymore, we were not even kissing, no one was paying us absolute any mind and it has never, ever happened to either of us before. But most galling is that we were about a third of the clientele in the place, and making us so uncomfortable as to leave for something so petty was unbelievably bad business. I have no idea what the management is thinking. Nothing like this has happened to me before or since, and I would advise against go to a place where the owners are so strict and hellbent on squashing any demonstration of happiness or affection, regardless of how bad it may be for business. Avoid.
