The Sunday roast here was proper good, the beef just fell apart. Desserts were unreal too, we basically had to be rolled out after. Live music was a nice touch, not too loud that you couldn&#39;t chat. Would defo come back with the group for a lazy afternoon.

The dining room is gorgeous, no doubt about that. Food&#39;s consistently good too, but honestly, the portions are a bit on the smaller side for what you&#39;re paying. I get that you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere, but I left feeling like I could&#39;ve grabbed a burger on the way home. Staff were grand, friendly enough. Just wish the plate was a bit more generous.

Stopped in on a whim and ended up staying way longer than planned. The Guinness really was something else &mdash; proper creamy. Finger food hit the spot too, nothing fancy but done right. Traditional music night was a nice bonus, gave the place a proper buzz. Only downside was finding a seat, but that&rsquo;s on me for arriving late.

Tasting menu was solid. Scallops and venison were the standouts, no question. Plating looked great too. Staff knew their stuff when I asked what to pick. Only thing, it took a while between courses. Fine if you&#39;ve got time to kill, but I was cutting it close for the afternoon. Good spot for a proper lunch though.

Decent spot for breakfast. Eggs benedict had proper hollandaise, and the Wilmott sausages were pretty good&mdash;probably the best I&#39;ve had around here. Service was fine too, friendly enough. Only thing is it got a bit busy mid-morning, but that&#39;s on us for the timing.

Stopped in on a rainy afternoon for the BLT with chips and a chicken burger. The bread was fresh, and the chicken was properly cooked, not dry at all. Liked that the salad had a bit of crunch. Place was busy with locals and surfers, which added to the vibe. Staff were friendly enough.

Stopped in after the castle visit for a bite. Had the seafood chowder, it was piping hot and really tasty. Mussels in white wine sauce were a nice starter too. Service was friendly and quick, even though they were busy. The seating was comfortable enough to just relax and take our time. Glad we picked this spot.

Came here on a busy Friday night and honestly left full. Portion sizes are proper, not one of those places that skimps you. Got the chicken dish and it could&#39;ve fed two people easily. Price was fair for what you get, especially compared to other spots around. Service was sound too, no complaints. Just wish they had a bit more seating, we waited about 20 minutes.

Stopped here after the Cliffs of Moher. Food was fresh, properly local, and the fish was done well. Staff were sound, not hovering or anything. Place got busy around 1pm, so we were glad we came a bit earlier. Decent stop if you&#39;re heading back that way.

Pasta was properly al dente, sauces tasted homemade. Good enough for a sit-down meal, but works well for takeaway too. Solid spot.

The Guinness beef stew was proper comfort food &mdash; beef so tender it fell apart, and that gravy was unreal. Definitely hit the spot on a chilly day. Mash on the side was a nice touch too.

The kung po chicken here is proper good&mdash;one of the best Asian dishes I&#39;ve found in Limerick. House fried rice was fresh too.

The spot itself is grand &mdash; right near the car park, so handy. Staff were grand but seemed a bit bored, and our food took about 10 minutes longer than expected. Not mad about it though.

Pizza was proper good, and the garlic mushrooms were a nice surprise. Portions are hefty for what you pay, which I always appreciate. Place was packed though, so definitely book a table before you head over. I can see why it&#39;s busy, but it&#39;s not a spot you can just rock up to on a whim.

The pizza&#39;s still spot on after all these visits. Family deal feeds us all without breaking the bank.

Solid spot for a casual Indian feed. Chicken kebab and dal tadka came out fresh and properly hot. Really hit the spot.

Stopped in after a mate from Ennis said we had to try it. Fair play, the Irish coffee is the real deal. Best I&#39;ve had in Clare anyway. Food was solid too, had the breakfast. Service was grand, friendly enough. Place was busy but we got a table easy enough.

The coffee here is solid and the cakes always look tempting. Bright spot right in the centre of Ennis, though it gets a bit cramped when busy.

Came for the steak reputation and yeah, it holds up. Had the ribeye, properly charred on the outside, pink in the middle. Left properly stuffed. Only slight thing, the place was buzzing loud, but you kind of expect that. Would go back for sure.

Nice spot inside an old church &mdash; proper pub vibe. Guinness was solid and the live music added to it. Food did the job, nothing fancy but decent enough.

Stopped by for a panini and coffee&mdash;genuinely tasty. The kitchen makes everything fresh, and you can see the chef step out to the counter every so often. Portion was decent for the price, though I&#39;d say it&#39;s more of a light lunch than a filling one. Still, for what you pay, it hits the spot.

Decent spot for a proper feed. Got the beef stew and it was rich, really hit the spot on a cold day. Portion was generous too, could barely finish it. Pub itself is cozy enough, nothing fancy but fine for what it is. Staff were grand, no complaints there. Wouldn&#39;t mind going back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Stopped here after the castle visit &mdash; BBQ wings were proper tasty, and the burgers went down well with everyone. Place had a good buzz without being mental.
