Relaxing atmosphere,friendly staff especially Rolands and Tessa.Drinks are made with professionalism and we are always spoiled

Came here recently after We heard about the new management and chef team and all I can say is wow!! food and service was fantastic and we can't wait for our next visit....More

We had a lovely meal. Staff where excellent, very welcoming etc. Friendly service. When we had the main meal finished and wanted to relax with a cup of coffee at 8:50 pm there was none available as the machine was washed out. There was serval...other customers only midway through there meal, so I guess they won't get coffee either if they wanted. I realise it is a minor issue and everyone wants to get home, but I think it's something someone needs to look at.More

I have been going here for a while now and felt compelled to write a review. I can't for the life of me understand the negative reviews. The Clermont offers a much needed dining experience for Blackrock and Dundalk in general. The staff are amazing....Young but super friendly, helpful and professional. The food is outstanding. Compliments to the new chef. You can taste what was already great food being elevated. I tried the the Venison special recently and wow, what a meal. I had venison one week ago in Adare Manor, Limerick and while it was nice, The Clermont beats it hands down. Portion sizes are perfect. Not too small like some people commented. Perfectly fitting with the concept and dining style on offer. Never disappointed and look forward to going back.More

I was in the clermont black rock last night 29th October for a family event we had a table of 14 we had a lovely lady and gentleman Kirsty and Dane serve us at first they were brilliant at there job 10/10 guys well done...food was absolutely fabulous compliments to the chefs . We done our food moved into the front bar and there was a girl serving us she forgot our drinks order didn’t take us water then and was so rude towards us heard one the staff members call her Danielle . We called over our server from earlier on in the night and she was very sorry about this matter and fixed it straight away . Other then that we were very happy well done guysMore

Fabulous venue food was excellent staff were friendly and helpful definitely be back again loved it had a party of 18 and no problems at all credit to all involved

The decor or the restaurant and the food were both very nice, however the staff were some of the worst I’ve experienced in a long time. Our waitress spilled red wine all over the table as she poured our glasses. She didn’t clean it up...even though she had noticed what she did. 2 other waitresses blatantly ignored us as we signalled to order dessert. There were no dessert menus and instead the desserts were listed to us at speed. One of our orders was forgotten and after asking the same 2 waitresses could they check on it for us we could see that they clearly did not want to help us. Our saviour on multiple occasions was a young waiter who was much more attentive and immediately went to check on the missing order.More

Let’s go on a rant, keeping staff long term and contented is a skill, customer demands are becoming more diverse and challenging . However contented staff is key to many problems - I got a clear feeling that this was not the case here in...the Claremont , there is a clear lack of investment in staff and the retention rate here I suspect is low These were good people but they were just going through the motions There is massive investment in this restaurant, it is beautiful , and extremely well located , the food is superb . Shame it could all come crumbling done on one important issueMore

Had a retirement party here. We were put sitting under a blaringly noisy speaker, we requested the volume to be turned down number of times before it was turned down a bit, this was 4pm in the afternoon, there was 12 of us the eldest...is 83 yrs old. We waited at least 45 minutes for drinks but only half the order came, and we still had no menus. When the food eventually came it was delicious, couldn't fault it at all. The service though was a shambles, There didn't seem to be a management structure in place. I did make a complaint in person and some money was taken off, but that is not what we wanted. We wanted a small family gathering to celebrate a retirement in a nice setting but as soon as we had finished our meal we left as we were stressed out. We had intended to cut the cake in the venue but we took it home. TrishMore

We first visited the Clermont just before covid and were not overly impressed. However we were prepared to make allowances because it was newly opened. It is difficult to know where to start after our lunch time experience today . The menu was very limited...and very expensive with almost no options for starters. The burgers were grossly over cooked with the bacon actually black. The supposed " skin on" chips were cold and very much resembled Mc Donald's but of poorer quality. The overpriced desserts were most disappointing too. The selection of ice cream consisted of one scoop of vanilla and 2 scoops of sorbet. Our grandson has an egg allergy and was limited to the sorbet which arrived 40 minutes after the adults had finished!!! We had to ask for water twice before it was served. The staff seem to be badly trained to deal with an acidental wine spillage. I didn't personally complain because I had been invited to the meal but will never return. AVOID,AVOID ,AVOID!! We actually ended our visit to Blackrock with an immediate visit to Centra for some delicious ice cream for 8 people.More

We were meant to have our wedding in this establishment next weekend and 11 weeks before the event the owner Mr M.G.cancelled by emailing my partner saying the booking should never have been taken( but had been take more than 12 mths before) blaming his...old Management…no apology no sincerity nothing…. Book and plan at ur peril …. Avoid Avoid Avoid unless u want to be let down… delighted to have got a new venue we’re we are appreciated. Doesnt deserve customersMore

Myself and my now wife got married in Bellingham Castle last week, April 1st!!. We booked The Clermont for our day 2, and my god it was just amazing. The whole team at The Clermont, in particular the new General Manager, Aaron were just incredible....The whole day was just absolutely phenomenal and they couldn’t do enough for us. They have been so accommodating and the food, drink and every single aspect of the day was just simply faultless. Everyone was gushing about The Clermont in the weekend de-brief and after looking at some venues in Dublin, which is where the majority of our guests were from, we are just so delighted we got to have such a memorable day.2 with the help of all the team at the Clermont. Thank you so much for helping to make our weekend so special, from the staff singing and dancing along to the band, the welcome drinks and the food - the day was just perfect. Highly, Highly recommend!! James & LiaMore
