Fallon’s Reviews

As a regular client of the restaurant at Fallons, I was left very disappointed this evening while attending a birthday dinner for my wife. We were a party of 6 adults and 2 children with a booking. From the moment we stepped into Fallons, we were ignored by 3 members of staff until one waiter came to help us. We were seated and a drinks order was taken, we had to enquire about the drinks order twice, eventually arriving after the starters, waitress said the drinks order did not go through, yet we could see it sitting on the bar for at least 5 minutes.
We felt we were an inconvenience to the wait staff when we asked for extra brown bread to be served with our starters (we didnt ask for it for free) and then we had to ask for butter also, which when arrived, couldn't be spread as it was rock hard. The two children's meals were supposed to come with the adults starters but didnt come until after we finished. When the main courses arrived, one of of the meals took a further 6 minutes to be brought to the table, we asked for more veg which we didnt get when the waitress made excuses that teo of the meals didnt come with extra veg, then she walked away. Desserts were ordered, waitress came with soup spoons for apple crumble, brownies and ice cream, and one of the children's ice cream didnt come until after the rest of us had finished, and when it did arrive, there was no spoon with it. Very very poor service from a restaurant that we frequent regularly. The manager on duty spent more time sitting at the bar chatting with customers than leading his staff. The restaurant was not exactly full, there was a lot of tables empty which I found surprising as it was always busy, and another party behind us commented on the atrocious service too. The new management really needs to assess the situation and train staff to a standard fitting the establishment including a course. Staff were pleasant but it felt like it was the whole teams first day. I doubt we will be returning, pity as the food was excellent.

Sad to see Fallons loose it s warm welcome and good food .
I had very unpleasant surprise twice with my food , Yorkshire pudding came with a surprise crunch (what appeared like plastic ) I brought it to the kitchens attention the response was( " it was carbon build up from the ovens not plastic" ) with that detail given points towards that the ovens aren't deep cleaned to Hygiene Standards the secondary surprise was the veg were spiced to the point of uneatable to which wasnt on the menu description!!!! Who puts spiced veg with a roast , and to be honest the veg were pre cooked just as the yorkshire pudding at least a day in advance they should be ashamed that it was let out of the kitchen in that state .
I would also question the beef as in its origin (not Irish that's for sure )
Oh as for the five star hotel prices for dinner is shocking . There are better experiences outside of the town and for value for your money too , I won't be returning again .

I attended an event there recently. The menu choices were fine, but the fish was completely plain and tasteless, and the sauce was honestly inedible. The staff were pleasant, but they forgot about our table and the dinner was delayed far too long. One person at our table actually had to ask for their meal because it had been completely overlooked.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place. I definitely wouldn’t return unless the owner changes their approach, especially when it comes to food quality and, most importantly, not forgetting about customers.

They tried their best but the service was very slow. It took us 3 hours to have a meal and we were served after people who arrived after us. They did apologise about the wait and were really nice about it, and very accommodating when we asked if we could come in earlier than booked but three hours for a meal felt a little excessive. Overall we had a great time though, and they allowed the kids to stretch their legs too. I can't and will never fault them for kindness and availability, they're great. And everyone enjoyed their meal, including my guests coming from Italy.

Went for dinner on a Sunday evening, the restaurant area is large and spacious and there was plenty of waiting staff. We got the sharing plate for starters,it is served like afternoon tea and contains three levels. You get chicken wings with dip, crab and avocado salad on brown bread and patè with crunchy crackers, everything was delicious. For the main we got the Rib of beef with all the roast trimmings and the Hake with celeriac, bacon, peas, hazelnuts and baby potatoes, both were delicious. We were too full for dessert. Would highly recommend the restaurant.
