It's good but a lot simpler than you might think it doesn't seem to embrace the historical value as much as you might think

I'm reviewing the restaurant not the hotel here. The Castle is an amazing place to stay but only breakfast is served in the house these days and so main meals are served in the restaurant in the lodge. So The restaurant and staff are very nice. There is a decent wine list and a fantastic selection of gins. Now the bad part - the food was presentation over taste on every course. We had the 6 course meal. Not what we would have chosen but our €25 voucher that came with our booking was only valid on this menu option so check his out before you buy. I think it can be used for afternoon tea also. Anyway, I don't mind nouvelle cuisine. I really don't. But here's the thing, the food has to taste as good if not better than it looks. It didn't. Some courses didn't even smell appetising. I think it's a step too far when staff need to point out what eatable and what's not on your plate. Come on guys. What is wrong with delicious, uncomplicated food that tastes amazing? That's not what we got. We got dishes that were disappointingly average at best that looked amazing but taste just didn't match the visual experience. I think you should reconsider some of these dishes and back off on the dry ice and pebbles and focus on great taste. Standard has slipped since I ate here in Easter 2015 where it was just as over presented but the food was better. Disappointed. 3 things needed at Castle Leslie I think - 1. better food in the restaurant in the lodge. 2. Modern drinks - still no cocktails in the Castle bar. 3. Reintroduce dinner in the castle dining room. A lovely place to stay don't get me wrong but self selecting not to be best hotel in Ireland for the sake of a few tweaks.
