Every part of the menu has been thought about, and worked around 'in' season and fresh ingredients, meat/fish/vegetables/fruit. The "waiting" staff are great. When they run up and down stairs to make sure a group have their meals around football matches - you can't beat that with a stick. For a normal group of 4 (which we were) the staff were the best I've seen outside of Venice! Anyone who has eaten in Venice will know what I mean. The wine list is varied and not a rip-off. We have taken the kids there, they have taken their friends there, their friends have taken their families there..... BOOK NOW!!

The burger was okay. A little on the dry side and overly salty. But overall it was okay. Service was friendly.

The kicker though were those little croutons floating on top. That brown bread actually got better. I wish I had more. They also make fresh desserts there and I broke down and had a toffee banana tart with fresh whipped cream. Wow. I ate it in small pieces to extend the savoring experience. There are also roulades and other tasty looking fresh desserts and the breakfasts people were eating looked great!

I was seated immediately, and my drink order placed (Cronin's 0.0). The server recommended the daily special, Pan Fried Sea Bass in spicy tomato butter sauce atop roasted fingerling potatoes topped with roasted cherry tomatoes. I ordered a dressed salad as well. The salad, replete with spring greens, julienne carrots and pecans, was attractive, but overdressed. Too much of the delicious dressing. It was probably my mistake of not knowing or asking what a dressed salad was. I would've ordered the dressing on the side. My entree was a feast for the eyes and tastebuds. I'd never seen cherry tomatoes roasted on their vine--very attractive! The spicy tomato butter sauce wasn't very spicy and it complemented the seared fish well. The servers checked in with me regularly, though not obtrusively. Glad that my Airbnb host recommended this restaurant, and now I do as well! Two thumbs up!

There is a church yard and ruin across the street that caught my eye first. I wanted to stop to take photos. As Templar's Inn parking lot is just across the street it made a great stopping spot and while we were there, we thought 'why not?' and popped in for lunch. Turned out to be a very good idea. It was a late lunch time and still a good number of people were in the bar or restaurant and continued to come and go during our visit. Most were eating lunch, a few were sharing a pot of tea or enjoying a pint. We sat ourselves in the bar area after a pleasant staff member spotted us and invited us to sit where we like. He brought over menus and asked if we knew what we would like to drink. I ordered a pot of tea (my usual) and my SO ordered a pint (his usual). We were given plenty of time to view the menu. Our beves arrived and we were not rushed to make a decision on food, but left to leisurely make our decision. I love that about restaurants 'across the pond.' The menu has a nice variety of option with a preponderance of seafood items. Fish chowder, scampi, catch of the day, mussles along with sandwiches, burgers, chicken dishes, steak and pork. A full menu and the food here is very well prepared. I went with the catch of the day, Breaded Lemon Sole. Lightly breaded, this fish is flaky and moist. The side salad is loaded with a variety of veg and nicely dressed. The fries tasty. I wish I could come back here for another meal. The tea was the best I've had in Ireland and I love how big the pot is for one person. My SO ordered the Breaded Chicken breast burger which he very much enjoyed, along with his pint. I was too busy eating my delicious fish to notice his chicken; sorry. The bartender/waiter was friendly and kept an eye on us from the bar. There were a few other staff members who also checked in with us so we never felt ignored while also never feeling rushed. None of the staff attempted to start a conversation, but when we initiated, they were all very pleasant and happy for a chat and to find out more about us and answer our questions. The rest rooms are behind the bar and accessible from both the bar area and the dining room. They are modern and clean. Seating in the bar area is varied and comfortable. The dining room is bright and sunny with lots of windows. The parking lot is plenty big. Don't pass this place by! As a matter of fact, add it as a stop on your itinerary if you are in the area. Comfortable restaurant / pub, friendly attentive staff and good food.
