Fodor's Review:

An open fire, stone walls, and a minstrel's gallery on a large balcony above the main room lend considerable character to this restaurant. Built in 1823 as a schoolhouse, it is located in its own leafy gardens at the top of town near the Park Hotel—where many of its staff were trained. The contemporary art on the walls can also be viewed in the restaurant's art gallery, open daily from 4 PM. Try one of the imaginative vegetarian options, such as deep-fried eggplant with slow-roasted tomatoes, or go for Kerry lamb oven roasted with honey-mint jus, or panfried local fish served with boxty potato cake. Leave room for a warm dessert, such as blackberry and pear fruit crumble. Advance booking is advisable.
