Best European Restaurants in Enniskerry

Is always a great experience the reason we always choose as our first choice to celebrate special events. However yesterday was a bit out of the ordinary. There didn’t appear o be enough staff. One server Ashley was wonderful. She took our order for food and drinks. Came over to us to make sure all was well while we were eating and came to us again for tea or coffee. This was a celebration to celebrate a 75th birthday. After the tea she brought the persons birthday a lovely plate with fruit and chocolates. Very much appreciated. Not sure if her shift was over as after that didn’t see her again. However my star was a 4 (again no reflection on Ashley) The restaurant was very under staffed. She seemed to be the only server actually. We needed salt and pepper and had to go looking for it. There was none on any table. We saw how busy that girl was henceforth didn’t want to stress her out with something so trivial. Generally speaking the menu needs something new perhaps something in chicken. Plenty of fish dishes as well as beef and pork. However I don’t eat fish and very little red meat. Thank God for the pastrami sandwich 😁it’s the only choice. Would you consider the Caesar salad with chicken again or roast chicken. The dessert could also use a cake or pie. Apple pie or crumble is lovely after a meal. 👍 The atmosphere is impeccable as are the decorations for Christmas. The atmosphere is always calming and relaxing. Missed the doorman! Hopefully he will be there next time around. All and all it was a pleasant experience. Will be coming again in a couple of weeks for another birthday. You have to try this hotel at least once at Christmas is quite magical.

I had friends flying over for the weekend and we booked dinner on their first night. We had so much fun and the food and wine was just gorgeous. We were attentively looked after by Marius who was a star. Very professional and engaging, huge asset to your team and such a lovely person. Thanks for looking after us so well.

Dining was not in the upstairs Woodlands restaurant as booked and expected but was in downstairs bar area. This was disappointing

Our meal was very tasty and well prepared. The steak tartare was outstanding but the portion quite small for the 18 Euros. My hot goat cheese salad was very good, however the goat cheese was not hot, in fact it was cold. The wine selection was wonderful and appropriately priced. The truffle fries were outstanding and the burrata salad was excellent.
