Well well well!!! Took a drive to Ashtons on a Saturday evening booked a table on open table got it no problem! I’ll try keep this short and sweet! Elaine was our hostess/server and she’s class all the time in the world for People and Great at explaining the menus and also for a tour or the place lol (it’s surprisingly big) Christy Browne art etc!
The Steak is “unreal” 30oz Cote de Boeuf for two is up with the best in Ireland if not the best! I’ll wager anyone on that!
I’ve travelled the world ate steak every where and I’ll put this up there with the very best!! as for the Connemara oysters wow!!
You’ll see the steaks aged in the glass fridge and see it cooked in the open kitchen the chefs are great craic too!
This place is tops all I can say is FX Buckley move over!!!
Just check this place out!
Bar was packed with a great vibe it’s all good in Ashtons.
I’ll be back and back again thanks gang!!

I had or tasted
- ricotta and beetroot salad, needed more beetroot and less ricotta, also more seasoning.
- scallops, perfect, melt in the mouth texture (also tiny), very savoury sauce.
- steak, beautiful, this is what they are known for
- creamed leeks, lovely, maybe a tad too much black pepper
- mash, gorgeous
- chips, very nice
- sticky toffee pudding, disappointing, sponge was hard at the edges, difficult to get the spoon through even in the middle and the sauce was too dark and heavy for me.

Cost included drinks and tip.
