Not impressed really, it's OK here. The food is well presented but fairly bland, dressed with sauces to give it some flavour. This really is a restaurant for older people who stay in the hotel. It tastes like mostly frozen products and at hotel prices. Not for me I'm afraid. Not a bad place, just not good enough to return.

Reviews
Had a 3 course here, everything was perfect! Even threw in a birthday surprise. Great staff and good food, good alcohol as well.
I have my breakfast and lunch here when I stay at the Maritime Hotel. It is a pretty and comfortable restaurant. The staff serving meals is very kind and respectful. I am looking forward to returning in just two days. I love the blue decor; it reminds me of the sea in Florida. The restaurant has large windows overlooking the beautiful Bantry Bay. I am so lucky to have discovered this gem.
