We had a fab lunch in Carrick-on-Shannon last week. We got a lovely window seat where we could observe all that was going on outside and over on the River Shannon. We all chose the chicken curry. I have to say it was delicious. Service was fast and curtious, we had lots to choose from but our choice was really delicious and very reasonably priced. I would recommend a visit. I will definely return again.

We tried this restaurant for the first time this week. The decor was nice and the staff were really friendly and polite. We ordered the speciality burger, the nachos and the kids had Spaghetti Bolognais. The kids enjoyed the Bolognaise but the other food was just OK. My advice to the chef would be to keep it simple. The meat in the burger itself was good but there was just too much else going on. A good burger brings our the taste of the burger not smothers it. The nachos again were too busy. Serve the nachos with the toppings on the side not heaped on top. On the plus side the table opposite ordered steaks which looked really good. Next time I will go for the steak!!!

We have eaten in this hotel for years and find the food great ,but we called in there on thursday and picked a table by the window for two, we were approached by a lady who said it was reserved and would you pick a different one which we did. The lady who served us could do with some lessons in customer relations we found her very unfriendly,not like the usual people we meet there.

Ate here and must say the food was lovely. I had the burger which was very nice and massive portion. Our waitress was lovely- only let down was that other than that one time it didn't appear to open the rest of the weekend which was a shame.

Have visited on a number of occasions lately always good service friendly atmosphere and good food. On our last visit on the till receipt they was an offer included to âbounce back to Vittos and receive 5% discountâ. It was disappointing to learn that this was not being honored even though there was no end of offer date. The till needs to be updated to remove this if this offer isnât available Thank you for your review GIBBS and we glad yo enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Thank you for pointing out the issue with the till receipt. This was from a previous promotion and we were unaware that it was still showing up on the receipt's - we have removed it immediately. Thank you once again for drawing it to our attention !

Really nice visit on Saturday. Food in the main was good although two of my guest commented on their lasagna being flooded with sauce that was very tomato based, too much and made the lasagna sloppy and monotonous to eat. The live singer / guitarist was fantastic and the serving staff were very friendly. This is a nice little place to spend a couple of hours.

Had the greatest pleasure in dropping by here on our weekend away to Carrick. Staff were very friendly and the ambience warm. We all opted for the stuffed Irish chicken leg with fondant potatoes and veg. This dish was packed with flavour and texture and all of us agreed we'd not eaten better food in a very long time. Perfectly balanced and piping hot, this lunch experience was amazing. Thank you.

My parents and I went for Sunday lunch. I have never had such a pleasant experience from the initial phone call to leaving the restaurant. One of the questions asked when we made the booking was 'is this a special occasion?'. It wasn't but the suggestion was there that if it were it would be taken into account. The day of the booking they called me to confirm the booking but also to inform me the card machine wasn't working - a simple thing but better to know in advance and to bring cash.The food was absolutely delicious. At 36 euro for the set Sunday lunch menu it wasn't cheap but it was exceptional value for money. the service was impeccable - friendly, helpful but never intrusive. Clearing the table cloth of crumbs and dinner debris after the main course is such a simple thing to do but not something I have experienced before in an Irish restaurant. The timings between courses was spot on. Two hours passed by from start to finish which was perfect.The food was delicious. Perfect portion sizes, excellent local ingredients, modern cooking techniques and presentation. I had the octopus and nicoise salad - beautifully presented, wonderfully deconstructed presentation to come together in a perfect mouthful. The duck was perfect and the strawberry bavarois I cannot recommend highly enough - strawberry perfection.Additional coffees were not charged for, additional petit fours were offered. In addition to the floor manager checking in with us, the owner also did so. We are a fussy foody family but this was the most pleasant two hour food expereince we have ever had

Superb food in a relaxed atmosphere on the banks of the Shannon. The menu is Irish-Asian fusion with Malayan flavours and flourishes from the Malayan chef patron. The freshest local ingredients are used. I had the Pan-seared Scalllops to start followed by the Free Range Pork dish, both delicious. Book ahead for dinner.... you won't be disappointed.
