We had a family dinner in Hayes and everything was delicious. Several unusual curries on the menu and hake Veracruz, a beautiful dish. I had a duck dish that was really delicious. Imaginative and tasty food using beautiful fresh local produce. We shared a smoked salmon platter to start and it was huge, and very luscious.
There is a lovely wine list as well, including decent, unusual wines but not outrageously expensive. And of course a great pint of Guinness.
The service and the welcome in general was really nice.
There was a good balance of Covid safely and high standards without ruining an atmosphere.

We (3 adults/4 children) dined at this seafood restaurant on Monday 23rd August. A number of t got the distinct impression on the phone and on the night that children were not really welcome even though 3 of the 4 ordered full price adult mains. There was no provision/mention of children on the menu and it was unclear if they could have a child's portion of the adult mains.
A number of the main courses listed were not available at 7.45 and we found the main waitress impatient and stressed.
We waited an hour and a quarter to be served our food and were just about to enquire when it arrived at 9pm. I complained about the delay and the waitress stood back with the plates and asked "well do you want it or not?" and proceeded to give us a lecture on how all the food was prepared freshly and about how busy they were. We were shocked at her outright rudeness. We had no choice but to accept the food as it was 9pm and we had 4 hungry children. My daughter's pasta with prawns was cold and we counted only 4 prawns. The other 3 children had pasta carbonara which also arrived cold. My husband and I had fish pie which at € 19 was overpriced and VERY ordinary. The bill came to €150 which included 3 glasses of wine. Overpriced, and terrible service. I would never dine there again. Go to the restaurant next door, it's much nicer.

The food is very tasty and there is great variety on the menu. Top of the bill is the superb Glandore fish stew. Setting is magnificent, overlooking scenic Glandore. Very kind and friendly staff. Even supplied Blarney Woolen Mills rugs when it got misty in the evening. Thanks.

Very busy but found a spot for me as I was on my own. Lovely staff!
Had the curry special, was perfect! Loads of flavour and just the right amount of spice
