Hubs and I started with an incredibly creamy and delicious seafood chowder- studded with oodles of fresh fish, and then moved onto a Scallop Salad with bacon and other tasty morsels. So divine. Though we're not big dessert people, the Irish seem to love it and there is a huge table of desserts right in the front of the restaurant that beckons you. We caved and ordered the creamiest, most decadent and lovely lemon pie tart that I have ever had. I am pretty sure they must add cream to the filling just for fun. I mean, it's Ireland and they add cream to everything. So. good. Go here. Eat and be happy. Have dessert. You won't be sorry.

Being from Seattle, I am used to this kind of low-key high-end restaurant. What I am not used to is my arms sticking to the table. I had the shrimp scampi and it was presented well but lacking in flavor. The garlic sauce was it's saving Grace. My son had chicken and pasta which promised lemon sauce. Again just OK. There was not enough sauce for the noodles and The flavor was disappointing. The salad was very well done and the chips were on point. We were satisfied with the quantity of food and not hungry when we left. Our service was friendly and accommodating.

Commercially made fried that could have used more frying time and a bit more salt. The Apple crumble was also disappointing. It was good, not great. It appeared that it was made to order by either heating the apples in a pan or microwave to scorching hot, then topping with the crumble mix. It lacked caramelization with both the apples and the topping. Maybe that's how it's supposed to be? Apples just need to be cooked down a bit to get the optimal texture and color. All in all, this is a good place for a quick meal.

Sam was our waitress/bartender, and soon after another, Sam joined her of the male variety which he will not be pictured here. They are TVs showing traditional games and plenty of seating at the bar as well as outside of the bar. The restrooms are typical of the pubs, very small with tiny sinks, so be prepared. I would consider this another traditional pub, with a twist of Americano and European . I can certainly understand that they would be busy on popular nights if not most nights, and the ambience would be loud but expect greatness from this place

This place rocks. I love Blackbird of Ballycotton…read more We were here for a post wedding party and it was the perfect venue. Upon entering I was impressed by the somewhat typical Irish pubness of the bar, but yet it had a cool style all of its own that sets it apart from all other Irish pubs. Venturing further back, we had the back room reserved off to the left, but more on that later. It was out to the coolest beer garden in County Cork, nay in Ireland. It's on two level, the back wall made up of the shell of an older building. Picnic tables a plenty, because the beer garden also has a food truck. A most excellent food truck called The Field Kitchen. We had stuffed mussels and fish n chips. Both excellent. Later as the night drew in we retreated to our reserved room, which had a handy window into the bar and wood burner in the corner. We revelled the rest of the night away, retailing each other of the great wedding the night before. It was a great weekend, which was enhanced ten fold by our party in Blackbird.

We had been to the Tannery (also in Dungarvan) the night before, rated as one of, if not THE best restaurant in Ireland (a reservation we had for months) and we were sorely disappointed. The Lazy Lamb however was a welcome surprise. Irish with Mediterranean flavor, the roast lamb special was lovely - perfectly seasoned, juicy and beautifully served. The fish was fresh, vegetables were crisp and not overcooked, and the desserts were delicious works of art. Even the service was perfect - not overly solicitous. I live in a suburb of NYC and have been to some of it's best restaurants. Save yourself some money and disappointment and skip the Tannery. Go here instead.
