Leixlip House Hotel

Disappointing meal and clumsy, incompetant staff. Service took an intolerable amount of time and when the main course eventually arrived a well-​done steak was red throughout. Complaints resulted in a 20 minute wait for a hastily re-​cooked steak returned to congealed sauce and freezing vegetables. Further complaints resulted in a begrudging removal of the steak from the bill. We will not be returning and say avoid at all costs!

Had a nice meal here one Tuesday evening with my wife.
The restaurant was closed so we ate in the bar.
The meals, it seemed, were all pre-​prepared and had then been re-​heated in a microwave which explained why my seafood chowder was lukewarm while hers was piping hot. But its only fair as my venison pie was hot while hers was just nicely warmed. Only three staff appeared to be working in the hotel that night. A barman, a waitress and a receptionist.
We availed of the ‘Ladies Night” deal and had our two courses for € 20 each.

I’ve been to Leixlip house loads of times but always just ate in the bar (which is delish) so this time I actually went after receiving a voucher. Made the booking for the restaurant where they had an amazing deal… I think it was 2 courses for around € 22 euro and 3 for around € ²⁵⁄₂₆. Needless to say I had three courses ! NOM NOM
Starter was a yummy chicken Caesar… it was huge and yum
Main was a very tasty lamb dish whereby the lamb was off the bone but wrapped in some tasty pastry on bed of creamy mash and side of veg… I’ve never had lamb like that before and it was soooo damn good.
Desert was a calorific sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and ice cream. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy but might’ve tipped me over the edge. I was completely stuffed and very happy with life at this moment in time!
The waitress who served us was really really nice. Always checking if we were ok with our meal but knew when to leave us alone at the same time.
The restaurant was quiet so it was lovely atmosphere to catch up with family.
I’ll defo be back for a feed. Well played Leixlip house

Just okay, would not hurry back.

Very nice.
