Visited the place on a Thursday evening. The place was busy enough for a Thursday evening, however there was still plenty of parking and some free spots inside as well. We went for the vegetable soup, scampi, steak and beef casserole with a brownie and cheesecake for desert. The food was great throughout and the dinner view was great as well with a partial view of the golf course and the river.

Views & location
Beautiful view over the green on the 18th hole for our 6pm dinner. Filet was excellent and my wife enjoyed the fish and chips. Large portions of fries with both orders, which was a pleasant surprise. Service was good. Used dining credit from Amex FHR stay so the price, which was a little high, didn't bother me.
Top quality all round, golf course ⛳️ nice driving range 🏌♂️and a small basket of balls for 5€. Excellent staff and service, amazing dining and food area with beautiful views. From Nealius O Sullivan at Leinster Landscaping 👍
