    We had the fishcakes for starter and the hake for main course, both were beautifully presented and tasted superb. The staff were friendly and helpful and made us feel relaxed and welcome. It was my partner's birthday so they brought a slice of chocolate cake to mark the occasion which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend and hope to return on our next visit to Abbeyleix.

    Hi, there was a limited choice and I was underwhelmed by choice. I opted for chicory with blue cheese. It had a watery white sauce. Not sure what it was but I don't think it was a good consistency. Friends toast with mushrooms was obviously too toasted. 3 of us ate and none of us were impressed. Nice decor. Overpriced for what arrived to table.

    Was looking to meet up for lunch with my sister somewhere between Dublin & Limerick. A friend recommened Bramley. What a great find. Food & service was top class. Location worked a treat. Will certainly revisit here. Beats Barack Obama Plaza.
