We booked a table for 4 on Saturday night and were given a table by the window overlooking the Shannon which was really nice. We didn’t have starters so straight to mains. The lads had fillet steaks and the girls had the lamb shanks. The steaks were cooked as requested and good size (10 oz) for the price. A side... More

The location was just perfect for us, situated on the Shannon Banks and just a few minutes from the Theatre. All thirty of us were very pleased with the service and the food...the steak being particularly tasty. Each course was beautifully presented and very well flavoured. What an achievement to satisfy thirty!! We'll certainly return there on our next visit.... More

A random choice and we fell in love for the place! Sitting beside the window you will have a lovely view of the Shannon River. Friendly but not too much service. Fast. And food is AMAZING!!! I hope that I get a chance to come back there.

We have been intending to try this restaurant for a while as we had heard good things. It is open all Saturday afternoon so we headed in for a lazy late lunch after visiting the castle nearby. Unfortunately everything we ordered had been cooked hours before and was simply reheated. The garlic bread was soggy and greasy. The duck cassoulet... More

As a lone diner I had lunch in this excellent restaurant recently. I was shown to a table facing the Shannon and felt totally at home in the ambient atmosphere. The food was great and the service was very efficient. If you are eating alone you will not feel out of place here. I can 100% recommend the Olive Grove... More

Went to this restaurant for dinner on the recommendation of tripadvisor users and was not disappointed. We had a fantastic meal and really enjoyed the evening. It was a quiet night as it was a Monday evening and only a few tables were being used. However the service was still good and friendly. We would definitely go back and it... More
