We were an evening 'walk in' into the hotel restaurant as we had just arrived in Donegal. The hotel is in a prime position in the main square just a short distance from free evening parking at the harbour side. The restaurant had a lovely calm ambience, we had a great table in a slightly elevated position near the front windows. I had the mixed seafood risotto and my partner had the salmon, both were excellent. In fact over our 12 day tour of Ireland my risotto was the best meal of the trip and we dined in some very expensive seafood restaurants! Well done to Chefs for the great food, the staff for the attentive service and the hotel management for supporting the local GAA team!
