A night at this hotel + dinner was planned a a treat during our tour of Ireland. Hotel & breakfast were great (reviewed separately), but I am amazed at the consistently good reviews for dinner - must be my fault! Menu read much better than...the reality. Smoked duck salad with Popcorn? Who adds popcorn to a duck salad? Especially as it was that Butterkist candied stuff you buy in bags at cinemas. Did nothing at all to enhance the dish - just weird. Rack of lamb good, but pork dish awful; overcooked, salty & dried up. Menu said "pork" & this was gammon and needed a lot more soaking before cooking. Atrocious veggies. At $60 for 3 courses, you need to do better than boiled-to-death mushy broccoli & soft, tasteless cubes of carrot/swede (could have been anything). So many delicious, interesting veggies out there! We cut our losses at 2 courses & saved ourselves $40! The charming staff did offer me an alternative to my inedible "pork", which I refused as my husband had nearly finished his main. Reception did reduce our bill by €50 which was appreciated, but what I really wanted was a really good dinner...More
