Lovely staff, helpful and courteous. Had the chicken burger & chips. When everything should be piping hot, it was only WARM. Despite this, I eat everything, but it was not very pleasing. I felt the chips had been lying around, maybe even re heated already! Needed a lot of salt . . . .

After reading great reviews on this restaurant we decided to give it a try. The building is situated right by the sea with amazing views from the many windows. The atmosphere is relaxing and romantic and the service is excellent. All of the employees were friendly and attentive. However, the food was a major disappointment. The menu is expensive so one would expect good value for the money. However, even though our food was beautifully presented, it was over cooked and dried out. The steak (requested medium-well) was very well done. The crab claws were so dry they were tasteless. The broccoli was mushy and a dull green. The portions were small. Itâs such a shame because this restaurant has gotten everything else right. We ate at several other nearby restaurants for a fraction of the cost and received much larger portions cooked just right. Sadly, despite the breathtaking view and excellent service, we will not be back to the Peak.

A restaurant firmly stuck in 1983 and haven't adapted to changes in taste, modern decor, customs and lacking that vibrant, upbeat vibe of todays restaurants. I imagine in the mid eighties, this was THE place to go in Bundoran. You sat, had drinks, then had your starter of prawn cocktail or a fan of melon (which are still on the menu), then had your main of Salmon hollandaise or Pork medallions (which are still on the menu) and perhaps shared crab claws (which are still on the menu)The entire atmosphere is a drab stiff affair, overly formal customary practices such as the waitress leading you into the restaurant and pulling your chair out. Thanks, I can do that myself. Cue napkins inside the wine glasses. I was expecting a moustachioed waiter to come out and say "Would Sir care to see ze wine liiiist?".You're the manager and you're reading this now. You are stuck in time. You haven't travelled outside Bundoran in a long time. And it shows. Your customers aren't getting younger . Being no.1 on Tripadvisor means sweet FA. Especially in Bundoran. Wow, have you guys got work to do. I imagine "change" is a scary word in there.
