Stopped here for breakfast yesterday morning on the way from Dublin to Sligo. Despite the fact we…read morehad to get off the motorway at Mullingar and double back to access the restaurant, it's well worth the few extra minutes getting there. Had the full Irish and could not fault it in the slightest. The staff were happy to substitute out the egg in my meal for an extra sausage - something that a lot of places can be picky about. The food was cooked to perfection - a little bit greasy, exactly what we needed. The service was prompt and effective. The staff kept us topped up with tea and coffee - fuel for the journey ahead. I found the price to be excellent value for money; 3 sausages, 2 slices of bacon, pudding (black & white), beans, tomato, mushrooms, a hash brown and an endless supply of toast for €8.95 - pretty damn good.

While it limited her selection of starters, the tuna and gazpacho were an other-worldly pairing. I tried a few bites, and the tuna's quality bested even the freshest cuts I've had in both Hawaii and Japan. I loved how playfully the fennel was plated, too. I opted for the quail ballotine for my starter, as it was new to the menu. The apricots' sweetness interrupted the walnuts' nuttiness in the best way, like they had something very important to tell me. The mains continued to impress. My only note on the fillet of beef is that it was served with a dinner knife rather than a steak knife. But I made it work! They accommodated my partner with a dairy-free desert... a superb rhubarb sorbet. The plating was almost nautical, like a mystery deep sea creature. It was quite sour and ice cold. Very refreshing. I had the coffee tart with whiskey ice cream. Each bite managed a lightness that I wasn't expecting. Excellent and unique all around. The dining area was gorgeous. The dark wood tones and verdant walls made the whole experience feel lush yet comfortable. The well-oiled service did not go unnoticed. Servers were very aware of where we were in our meal. They were attentive yet balanced between other tables. They timed our dishes just as they were meant to be timed. Running a service that effectively is very challenging, well done everyone! (Also, to whoever cubed my partner's dairy-free potatoes, you did so with absolute precision. We marveled over your technique! It takes ages to do and did not go unnoticed. We greatly appreciate you!)

Dear Sir/Madam, I…read morehave never left a place feeling so unsatisfied and uneasy about a situation before. Today the 8th of December my friends and I went for a ladies lunch in Poppy Fields's when we got there we were seated and happy. About 20 minutes had a passed and no one had taken our order , we completely understand they were busy and it wasn't an issue whatsoever, to save the lady coming out I said I would go inside and go to the till to put our order in as I walked in I was met with the lady who rudely said to mr go outside I'll take your order out there it's to busy, I said no problem but it was rude and aggressive and the tone she used made me feel uncomfortable and shook. Shortly after the same lady came out to take our order and as she was leaving she slammed the menus on the table next to us loudly and with force. A while later our food had arrived. As she was giving us our food she said and I quite "no pepper " I said that's me and proceeded to hand the plate she implied was with no peppers to my friend and my friend said "no sorry that's not mine" and I said "I thinks it's mine I got it with no peppers" she turned to me in the RUDEST manor and said "yes you will have to wait" I was shocked and uneasy my friend turned to her and said" you are being so rude " and she said rudely , cheeky and just so smart "I'm not being rude" "am I being rude " and we just could not believe that this happened we didn't even finish our food we left in shock. We went to the till to pay for our food and the lady was so sweet behind the counter she said "if you guys are ever in a rush on your lunch just let us know we can accommodate you" it wasn't that we were in a rush it was that she was so rude and we understand it's lunch hour, rush hour and it can be stressful but it really left us unhappy and made us not want to go back ever again. Really disappointed and frustrated over it.

The Tandoori chicken was a bit on the dry side, but the seasoning was spot-on, not overwhelmingly spicy. The grilled potato slices were a pleasant surprise, a change from the traditional fries or baked potatoes, they packed the creamy taste of the latter while having a crispiness not found in the former. The lemon-lime cheesecake had a mouthful of sweet and sour fruity flavor and had nice rich aroma of cheese. The problem, however, was service. There appeared to be only three front-of-the-house staff in total taking care of a large dining room, one of which seemed to be inexperienced, and another needing to be the receptionist and the cashier. They seemed to be constantly overwhelmed. When the tables began to fill ,service time became protracted, and attentiveness dropped markedly. I even had to walk up to the front to pay my bill. Food and drink along this place is worth 4 stars or above, but considering service, I can only give 3 stars. I hope they could do something about the service soon, because the food had been pleasant.
