Excellent all round, as the title says, but also with good wine. No waiting, even though the restaurant was full, served as quickly as we wanted and when the food came we were delighted with the quality and quantity

If youâre looking for a nice place to have breakfast with your family definitely visit the bay cafe! I love love love that it is dog friendly aswell because I consider my dog part of my family so it is nice that she can sit down under the table while we eat so she isnât locked in the car with poor ventilation. I had the pancakes and added bacon to it and they were to die for, the pancakes were so fluffy and mouth watering good. The staff are all very friendly and you can see they interact well with each other and customers. Very impressive place.

My wife and I paid a welcome but long-overdue visit to one of favourite lunch venues. We love the old-fashioned dining room with NO PIPED MUSIC and replete with starched linen and silver service all invitingly set out. And the food and service is first class. It will not be so long until the next visit and this time we WILL get out in the wonderful gardens. That is a real promise.

Visited here this morning and it was just lovely. Sun pouring in, place spotless and the staff smiling and chatty. Breakfast so so fresh. I had scrambled eggs with avo on toast. My husband and daughter traditional full Irish and they rated it excellent. I'd asked for a sausage too and hands down tastiest one I've eaten in a long time. I saw a hot chocolate float past on its way to someone seated outside and wow. Heaped with tiny marshmallows it looked like a dessert. Papers are available. I like that little extra. Great start to our weekend. Will be back

The first surprise when you enter the restaurant is the great layout and gorgeous dining room with high ceilings. And the evening continued with lovely food, beautifully prepared and presented with the most wonderful fresh ingredients. It was a delight to eat here and the chef and their kitchen and staff are evidently passionate about food. It is extremely good value, we had the midweek 3 course special for 29 euros. Wicklow is very lucky to have such a gem of a restaurant in its midst and we will be back there very soon.

The pub had great atmosphere and a good selection of beer. The food was the best we have had in Ireland. The Guinness stew was exceptional. If you are in the area this is a must stop.

A delicious seafood dinner , great sauces and fresh ingredients. I was so happy after the pubs potatoes and mutton we had previous days, Irish food is fine but we were really ready for this nice meal. The chef is excellent and this family owned seaside place is worth seeking out: super fine in every way. Gorgeous presentation, and beautiful desserts.
