    The Apple crumble dessert. Quite good.
    Jason C.

    This restaurant was next to the resort/spa we were staying at so we came here twice. Both were great experiences. Our waitress was very friendly and gave us good suggestions of what to order. I ordered the fish and chips and my friends ordered the salmon and pasta. All three tasted wonderful. In the pasta it had big chunks of bacon and was incredibly flavorful. The salmon had a nice rich cream sauce over it with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes. The batter for the fish and chips is made in house and even came with mashed peas which I hadn't tried before but enjoyed. For desserts we got the Apple crumble, brownie, ice cream, and the banana cream dessert. That last one was my favorite but the others are really good too. We came straight from the spa so we were refreshed after climbing the highest peak in Ireland today. And we came just in time because the live music and dancing had just gotten started. What a great restaurant to end a great day!

    Sizzling Steak with Mushrooms
    Charles D.

    Our first dinner was here because we stayed at the Muckross Hotel and Spa and the restaurant was located neat the entrance to the hotel parking lot. My wife and I tried the ribs which were so delicious and the meat just fell off the bone. The place reminded me of an old Irish pub. Of course I had my pint of Guinness with my meal. We tried it again and I had the sizzling steak with mushrooms. It was so good and I just love mushrooms. The picture doesn't look too appetizing, but it was wonderful.

    Shepherds Pie and a Smithwick's
    Mary H.

    My daughter and I ate here this evening. My daughters gnocchi was bland, but my Sheperds Pie was tasty and a very generous portion...enough for two. Thought the price of 6 euros for my daughters cider was high, considering my Smithwick's was 2.50 euro. Attentive staff and might eat here again since it is the closest restaurant/pub to our B&B.

    We're it not for the good music and Irish dancing we enjoyed while eating, I would say the food was overpriced.

    This review is for the restaurant not the pub. We came for lunch and found all the usual Irish pub…read moreofferings. The pie of the day, not on the menu, was steak and kidney, which I had to try "for research purposes". The pastry crust extended to the sides and bottom so it fully enclosed the filling and was served "freestanding". Crust and gravy were excellent. In the filling, both the steak and the kidneys were plentiful. My research completed, I probably wouldn't order it again; just give me the steak - no more kidneys please! Nevertheless I did enjoy and finished it. This was served with decent fries and a truly excellent green salad: a variety of leafy greens, radishes, cucumbers, pickled onions, and pre-dressed with a vinaigrette. The wife had the Beef & Guinness Casserole, served with brown bread. Along with steak there were also plentiful veggies (root vegetables and celery) and mashed potatoes in the center. She liked it. I tried it and agreed. I would get that next time. I had a Jameson Old Fashioned to drink and it was the best Old Fashioned I've had in some time. The unusually large twisted orange peel probably contributed and it may have had more than the customary amount of bitters. The wife's tea was amusingly served with a knitted "cozy" keeping the teapot hot. For dessert we shared a Sticky Toffee Pudding, served with vanilla ice cream, attractively presented with a dusting of sugar, whipped cream, and a ground cherry complete with its leaves. I'd rate it second among the three I've tried so far. Would certainly order it again. As for the pub I can't say. It has a reputation for good traditional Irish music every night but unfortunately not until 9:30, way too late for us. Sadly we're just not pub people.

    Murphy's has great character and friendly service. It's a pub and a restaurant, but the atmosphere…read moreis definitely dark and pub-like. Very noisy when busy, but that's part of the fun! Music starts at 9pm. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. We had fish and chips, the stuffed chicken and sticky toffee pudding. Washed it all down with a couple of Guinness and a Red Spot whiskey! It was a lovely meal.
