I've been to The Park for lunch and dinner. Lunch is always excellent, it's generally quite busy at lunchtime but service is fast and friendly. Recently on an evening visit I had the John Dory with mussels with leeks and a white wine cream and it was divine. Desserts are always fab. I like the fact that I've never had... More

This restaurant never fails to impress me! The food is out of this world! Myself and my boyfriend decided to break with traditional and eat out this Valentines Day. We would usually be a little dubious about doing this as I expect to be served sub standard food, thrown at me by stressed out staff. Boy were we pleased with... More

Try the black pudding starter, it was amazing. The service was excellent and we found it very warm and inviting.

Had dinner here with a group. Absolutely delicious starter and main course, didn't have room for dessert! Very clean, and with a good atmosphere. Set menu very reasonable, and the al carte menu looked amazing. I made the booking and so had to call a few times, they always very helpful on the phone. Would recommend. Would love to go... More

The Park Restaurant was recommended by our hosts at the Gables, and the dinner was lovely, but the maitre d' /server was the highlight of the evening. He was friendly and knowledgeable, but not hovering. We highly recommend the Park Restaurant--for the food but also for the experience.

My starter was gravadlax with dill sauce, others had chorizo,both with accompanying vegetables. Main courses were chicken breast with ratatouille and basil pesto, grilled Kilmore Quay plaice with green... More

Went for dinner with 3 friends on a Saturday night. Started with a prosecco mojito (yum!) on the sunny terrace and that set the tone for a great night. If you go, I 100% recommend the pork belly, which is served with mash. The pork was so tender that the knife cut through it as if it was butter and... More
