The food and service was excellent. However, our bedroom was small, stuffy, and hot. The house red wine at €32 a bottle, Half bottle house white €16, was way over the top for house wines. We paid €361.50 for the Prestige menu + one night B & B. for 2 people sharing. Would we go back, definitely not, far too... More

We picked the Prestige 9 course Menu to experience Nevin's signature dishes. The setting was nice and not fussy, it did get very hot a few times in the dining room but the air conditioning would turn on to cool it down again, the staff were attentive and informative. The amuse bouche was really nice so we were off to... More

Booked months in advance as a surprise for my aunts 60th birthday as she loves Nevin! I had heard lots of amazing reviews about this restaurant & hoped it lived up to expectations. Sadly it fell at the last hurdle for me.......the atmosphere was very poor. Whenever we would have a laugh it seemed like everyone stared at us. The... More

Myself and my fiance booked this well in advance initially as a special treat so we were really looking forward to it. We made a weekend of it and went to Enniskillen the night before. We had an early sitting at 12.30. I had a fish starter with a lovely curry mayonnaise, my fiance had a mushroom soup. I had... More

A wonderful experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived the hospitality and service were top notch. Our room was a haven of calm, was beautifully decorated and appointed and all this before we got to the restaurant. The presentation of every course was perfection itself, staff were knowledgeable and explained every dish. We opted for the diner... More

I should start by saying that I eat out regularly- I dont usually write reviews as many establishments do not warrant them. I've heard alot about this restaurant so myself and a few friends ventured down recently on a Friday night, if you go here expecting the type of service you receive in michelin star restaurants, you'll be sorely disappointed...because...

Easily one of the most memorable dining experiences ever in Ireland. Just as on previous occasions,the welcome to his lovely restaurant with rooms in Blacklion County Cavan, was just the ticket after a two hour drive. We arrived down for dinner and relaxed in the lovely bar area with a couple of Kir Royale and poured over the menus and... More
