Menu items look really interesting. Just wanted some opinions or suggestions. What did you like/not like?

The bread pudding is amazing!

My wife loves the Drunken Chicken and orders it every time...even for lunch where it is not even on the menu. Also, the scallop forest (for 2) was very good when we had it.

A friend of ours had a real good steak there and the best thing I have had is the It's Not Bleedin' Chowder...very rich and tasty with a good amount of seafood.

The one thing to stay away from is the Fish 'n' Chips.....poor quantity and quality for the price....waaaaaaaaay over-priced.

BUT....the absolute best thing at Raglan Road that is worth the trip all by itself is Ger's Bread & Butter Pudding for dessert. It is a large cup of warm bread pudding and they serve it with two small pitchers...one with cream & the other warm caramel. You put a whole in the middle of the pudding and pour in the toppings....just amazing!

Enjoy!

The only dish I was disappointed in was The Shepard's Pie. Everything else was great! Here is what I wrote in my recent review:

Seared Scallops: Perfectly prepared with a wonderful sweet corn relish and candied lemon. Delish!
Goats Town: One of the most delicious dishes I have ever had! A wonderful goat cheese lightly seasoned & “fried” and served with grilled crostini, a raspberry compote and fresh raspberries. Simply perfect!
Dalkey Duo: It was served in a fun way-on top of forks sticking up from a wooden plate. Not only was it “fun,” it was also quite yummy and the mustard dipping sauce was perfect.

Serious Sirloin Steak: Grilled exactly the way I ordered it & glazed with a scrumptious Irish whiskey glaze and drizzled with a very light basil oil. Although it comes with “plain”mashed potatoes, the server happily let me replace them with colcannon, a delicious dish of mashed potatoes, sautéed onion s, cabbage and bacon. YUMM!
Shepard’s Pie: RR twist is to make this with prime rib and lamb. This was the only dish I was disappointed in. It simply had no flavor and so I just nibbled a bit.
Paddy’s Pork: My DH enjoyed this so much that he ordered it both nights! It was the most flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth tender pork we had ever had! The sausage stuffing and the honey soy glaze were both fantastic yet not overwhelming. Wonderful!!
Salmon of Knowledge: I agreed with my DS-the best salmon we have ever had! And my son knows his salmon! He got the maple glaze on the side yet ended up loving it!
Fish & Chips: Nothing “fancy” yet cooked perfectly and served with a wonderful fresh tartar sauce.

Ger’s Bread & Butter Pudding: Oh, my! Heaven in a mug! In fact, it was sooo good that my DS and DH both ordered it again on our second night! The light warm custard and carmel sauces, served on the side for to die for. YUM!
Tiramisu Cheesecake: It was ok, a little dry yet then again I find most cheesecakes on the dry side.
Dessert Sampler: Served in little espresso cups, there was a white chocolate mousse, a dark chocolate mousse and a Bailey’s Coffe Cream Pot-“Tiramisu with an Irish Twist.” My DH and DS patiently waited for me while I devoured every last bite..

Oh my goodness.. we ate here two weeks ago and loved it! I had the fish and chips which I thought were great. The chips were so good that we ordered an extra order of them to share. We also had the bread pudding and it was heavenly! I have thought about that stuff since we came back!
I will tell you that my friend had some sort of chicken banger that was just so so. She is not a big meat eater and her choices were limited here so she tried this but it fell short. She loved my fish though! and I had to fight her off of my bread pudding!

the It's Not Bleedin Chowder and the Scallop Forest. Both excellent...heading back in November...gotta get the chowder...well, not chowder!

Has anyone tried the Sole & chips???

I think that the Guiness Ribs are probably one of the best things I have ever eaten. You have got tok try them. They are on the appetizer menu but there is enough so that if you just ordered a side of fries and the ribs you would be golden.

The mussels are great, and a huge serving, easy to share.
My daughter had the kids version of the sheppard pie, and it was good, but too dry for my taste, DH had a steak salad, that was really good, it was an appetizer. We also had the calamari, very good.

Anyone try that banana dessert? It sounds sooo good!
