Classic Irish cuisine from chef Sean Smith in the Kildare countryside.

Sean’s mouth-watering new menu is as always sourced locally with some ingredients even grown on the very grounds of the Cliff at Lyons Estate. Food lovers will enjoy classics such as Roast Rib of Beef, Cherry Valley Duck Breast and Oven Baked Baby Turbot with sides of seasonal vegetables, mini Seafood platters and of course for something a bit sweet, Whiskey & Orange Ice Cream or Chocolate Fondant with Salted Caramel Ice Cream.

The Mill restaurant is the heart of Cliff at Lyons, with huge double-height ceilings, warm open fire and windows that open up to a terrace beside the mill race and waterfall. Here, you will find a relaxed style of dining where it is easy to enjoy a lunch or dinner with friends or family. The illuminated waterfall provides a unique back drop to this airy and spacious room.

The food and service was very good. I realise that the Mill is an old building but it was dreadfully cold there yes which took from the enjoyment of the occasion.

Fabulous ambiance. Especially the Christmas treatment. All to very high standard. Service very prompt - sometimes a bit too fast. Next time will ask for pause between courses. All in all a great place for a special occasion

We had a fabulous evening the only comment I would make is that it was very quiet with only a few tables taken but I understand the accommodation on site was booked out by a large group who were having dinner in a separate room - but the overall experience could not have been more perfect Thank you for a lovely evening !

I was so disappointed having organised to meet up with two colleagues for a nice afternoon, one having travelled. The place was so cold and the staff were overpowering, rushing us out. I am not one to complain but the starters, which we all had the same, was completely overcooked with a burnt taste. The mains was so small, 9/10 chips. Sorry but I won’t be going back.
