Decided to try Harvey's Point for Sunday lunch. I don't like buffet generally and was not really looking forward to this. I am happy to say this was a much better experience than I expected. The restaurant manages this by taking small numbers in half hour slots so the dreadful "feeding time at the zoo" which often happens at buffet is avoided. The room is very spacious with starter course and dessert buffet in an annex. It works really well. The quality of the food is very good and the starter buffet is particularly good with a great choice of sea food , meats and salad. Main courses is up to two meats from a good selection with a nice selection of potatoes, stuffing, great big Yorkshires and veg. If you like dessert you will be happy with the choice on offer. The restaurant is "family friendly" but despite a lot of youngish children it was still comfortable for unaccompanied adults. Sunday Buffet is €29 which is a bit pricey but it gets a good crowd.

Its a pity more swiss folk dont set up in ireland as harveys point hotel restaurant is really one of the finest restaurants in the country and an artist couldnt paint a more spectacular view that beholds you as you enter the restaurant which looks out onto lough eske. A selection of homemade breads and dips were waiting at the table as I took my vantage point in the centre of the room. A chefs amouse Bouche of spicy lentils, pickled pear and quail was excellent. To start I had the duck fois gras parfait with an exceptional homemade brioche. As I am writing this live review during my dinner I must say that the mix of European and native floor staff are both uber professional and more importantly, friendly. Indeed one waitress the following morning remembered me and where i sat on my last visit nearly a year ago! Service slipped a tad between starter and mains when I ran out of both water and wine as staff were setting tables instead of looking after customers that were actually there. Aminor crib I know. For mains I had a beautifully presented saddle of rabbit wrapped in Parma ham with polenta , beetroot and a ham hock terrine. Wow! A diverse cheeseboard and a glass of muscat finished off a great meal. The only down point of an otherwise fantastic meal was a 3/10 espresso served with undissolvable sugar rocks. Harveys is a truely exceptional hotel and restaurant that everyone should visit at least once in a lifetime.

Had the buffet sunday lunch here. What can i say it was amazing. €32 soup, starter, main, dessert, tea/coffee. food was excellant. starters and dessert are self service buffet. will definitely return
