Place:

This is a really lovely restaurant and bar — exactly the type I would love to find more often.

The old Irish house is not only inviting from the outside but also very cozy inside. Besides other things the brick fireplace will make you remember that place next morning:  Don't wear your latest fashionable clothes.  It will smell!

Food:

Probably the best food I can remember being in Ireland!  The place is famous for seafood.

The menu is not one of these overloaded books that make me feel that no one will be able to prepare all the stuff really fresh.  It gave me enough choice though. The monkfish roasted with smoked ham, potatoes, cherry tomatoes (not for me!), garlic and rosemary did not only read good ― it also tasted great. It's definitely worth the €21.95 and went really well with a Guinness or two. Pub Guinness in Ireland is somehow better than anywhere else ...

The Profiteroles with hot chocolate sauce (€3.75) were not typically Irish — but good.  With profiteroles you never know:  Sometimes they are filled with a heavy butter cream only instead of ice cream — not at this place.

Service:

Professional, nice and friendly. I didn't like my first choice of dessert because there were raisins in — no problem here: I got something else ...

Overall:

My best choice in that region.  They have a good reason to call themselves "West Clare's most popular eating house".  Highly recommended!
