Peacock

Understaffed, limited menu. I came for the seafood chowder listed on the website. Change your website and put the new menus out there. This was my last night in Ireland would have gone elsewhere had I known the menu on their site was inaccurate. The hotel itself was beautiful, tge grounds were beautiful.

I had a very disappointing experience in the Peacock restaurant. I booked a weekend stay at the hotel and decided on the back of good reviews and the website which mentions a sumptuous dining experience, booked dinner for Friday night for my partner and I. On arrival at the entrance to the restaurant we browsed the menu which was on display.. among other items we noted seafood chowder and a variety of steaks. However once seated in what was essentially an empty restaurant we were presented with an A4 sheet with 3 starters 3 mains And 3 desserts... The highlight of this menu was cod and chips! Naturally I assumed a mistake had been made and enquired with the waiter. This was apparently the menu for the evening due to there being a new chef and not having all the ingredients. At this point we debated whether to stay and eat or travel into Liffey valley. Ultimately we decided to stay and eat. I should point out at this stage that there was nothing wrong with the food that we were served and the gentleman that served us was pleasant and apologetic. I am aggrieved that nobody had contacted me prior to my reservation to inform me of the issues they were clearly having. Why was I able to browse a menu that wasn't available? This was an altogether disappointing experience. If it had been possible to give no stars then I would have.

We dropped in unexpected to this busy restaurant/Hotel.There was a table free for an hour,we took it and were please we did.The food was delicious and beautifully presented,we were not rushed,and the staff were attentive.Good show

Food was good. Place is a little dated. Nothing spectacular.

Visited the restaurant at Finnstown Castle for the special Mothers Day lunch. Firstly the location and grounds are just stunning. They really went above and beyond to make the day special with a red carpet and a piano player in the dining room while we were eating. My Mam felt a million dollars. The food was equally stunning and very good value too. I had the chicken mushroom vol au vent which was very good, the crispy duckling main was spectacular with the crispy skin done properly. Other members of my family had the crispy pork belly and the beef both of which were done very well. The service was excellent. The wait staff were very professional and friendly. I will definitely be back here again, it really was a fabulous day out.
