We went, ready to eat something the size of a small moose. I hadn't ate that much earlier that day due to work and general laziness, so I was really looking forward to this. We were quickly seated (to our usual table downstairs, next to the bar) and ordered drinks. Two Headless Dogs and a Sidecar Cocktail.
For dinner I had a Chicken dish (Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken served with Fresh Linguine, Broccoli and Tarragon Cream). It was amazing, the Prosciutto (or Parma-Ham as it is more commonly known) was well cooked and had a great texture along with the chicken. I was really impressed with the Linguine - the Broccoli was the perfect accompaniment. The Tarragon Cream was rich; but not overpoweringly so and tied the flavours of the dish together. Would definitely get this again and highly recommend it! I'd suggest to order a side dish along with this dish if you are hungry.
Smidge had the Venison (Fillet of Finnebrogue Venison with Celeriac Potato Cake, Braised Red Cabbage and a Pear and Blackberry Jus). The Venison itself was cooked well, but the outside was slightly charred - which was disappointing as it overpowered the taste of the Venison. The Pear and Blackberry Jus was a great compliment to the dish and was a refreshing change from a sauce or gravy.
Overall, lovely main meals with drinks which came just under £50.
I also liked the humor in the menu - 'fish of the day...depending on the tides...'
Bit too long to wait for the food itself, so would book a table for the beginning of a dinner service instead, or go there for lunch or an afternoon lunch. Good service with a friendly smile and the staff really do take feedback on board...shall be going there again soon and can't wait to try some more of their fantastic menu with locally sourced food! The best of ingredients from Northern Ireland showcased by very talented chefs.
I'd really recommend Molly's Yard to anyone that has not tried it yet!
Have you been to Molly's Yard - what did you think of it?
