These looked to be "community tables" where you could meet new people. Obviously, they were not being used that way with covid. Out lunches were very good and there was a lot of food for the money. I had fried smoked haddock with chips and my wife had the soup of the day and fresh bread. The fish was cooked perfectly with a crusty outside and moist inside. You could really taste the smoky taste. My wife said the soup was excellent. We would recommend this restaurant.

You can find it your typical Irish seafood with battered fish and chips, shellfish and of course, lobster. They also had a range of spud and beef type dishes.

Chips arrived lukewarm and limp; fish ok; tartar sauce lacking any personality as did the side salad. Perhaps: come for the music not the food or service.

Only open since Easter 2012, it was opened so recently you can smell the newness when you walk in. It wasn't even listed on here until I added it! I've only visited The Stepping Stone, but no doubt it's definitely one of the best gastropubs in the area. The decor is very clean an modern and the staff are all really helpful and friendly. We came here for lunch on a rainy Tuesday afternoon and were surprised at the quality! From what I've tasted, soup and sandwiches definitely seem to be their strong point. Very tasty, a lot of work seems to go into everything. We had club sandwiches (delicious), prawn cocktail, soup and chicken wings, all well worth the money and great value too. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the coffee, made from an instant machine, it's not the best. However, from what I've tasted I can't wait to try dinner here and in the Bank Bistro. One way to judge a place is if the locals eat there or not, and here, they do. It was packed! One thing to note though, they do play a lot of Daniel O' Donnel, so if you're not a fan, maybe you'd better think twice. But still, its a hidden gem nonetheless.

My daughter and I travelled a long distance after seeing your advertisements stating that small pets are welcome in the bar area. We brought our small pedigree miniature Bichon, who I was carrying in my arms when we arrived. There was an unreserved table for two available inside, but we were told we had to sit outside. When I politely asked why we couldn't sit at the empty table, the manager snapped at us in front of other customers and said, "If you want to sit there, you need to order now," while handing us the menu. There were a number of people behind us waiting and others in the bar listening, which made the whole situation very embarrassing. As I started to read the menu, the manager then changed her mind and told us we could only order soup or chowder. We were no longer allowed to order anything else. I simply couldn't understand why we were being treated differently when there was an available table and your venue advertises that small pets are welcome in the bar. What upset me most wasn't just that we couldn't have a meal--it was the way we were made to feel. We had travelled a considerable distance in good faith, expecting a warm welcome, only to leave feeling embarrassed, singled out and unwelcome. As a dog owner, I find it deeply disappointing that genuinely pet-friendly hospitality is still so difficult to find in Ireland. Our dogs are part of our families. We don't expect special treatment--just honesty in advertising and to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as any other customer. We left without eating, feeling hurt and ashamed. I hope this review encourages a more compassionate approach towards customers who travel with well-behaved pets.

We had a 5:00 reservation because that was all they had, and we were directed to a dark corner in the bar by the rude hostess (we later learned she owns the place) even though there were three empty tables--two of them still dirty--right by the window. She reluctantly agreed to seat us at one--one of the dirty ones--with this warning: "You will leave at 6. You need to understand that." (PS 6 came and went and no one asked to leave) We never had the same server; various very young servers would drop off things--like the bottle of wine we ordered, already opened, no tasting. They never asked how our dinners were, which was too bad because I was given a butter knife to cut my overdone steak. A steak knife might have actually allowed me to cut through it and eat the thing. They wouldn't take it off the bill because apparently the chef could cut it--do you think he used a butter knife? On our way out we passed a tween happily cutting away on her steak with an actual knife. It's the only restaurant in town and I still wouldn't go back.
