It was their Sunday brunch so there was a band and Irish dancers which added to the meal nicely. Two of my little cousins even got to go up and dance on the stage.
I had the Salmon Swoon. Choice Irish smoked salmon served with capers, shallots & crème fraiche. It was fantastic. I also got it with a side of "chips" which are fries. What I got was an appetizer but was more than enough for my lunch.
If you are less of a fish fan and more a fan of traditional lunch foods there are perfect options as well. Two of the people I was with split the Luscious Tart (Grilled asparagus and mushrooms, mixed greens, grape tomatoes & shaved parmesan on a warm caramelized red onion puff pastry tart with shrimp) and the Lobster Club (Lobster & avocado salad, crispy prosciutto, watercress & citrus herb mayonnaise). I have an allergy to shellfish so unfortunately I wasn't able to try either of these but the consensus from the table was that they were amazing. It is half of each portion in the picture below. Each is very large.
My uncle got the Banger & Booz (Guinness & onion banger on mash, topped with caramelized onions & beef stew). It is a sort of modern twist on a more traditional Bangers and Mash.
We ended our meal, on the recommendation of our waitress, with Ger’s Bread & Butter Pudding. We were told that we could all share it. We were a little skeptical seeing as there were 5 adults and 3 kids. Let me tell you, this is deceptively huge. It was also one of the best desserts that I have ever had, no lie. It came with a butterscotch sauce and vanilla creme anglaise.
