The Catalina Restaurant in Fermanagh

Food was excellent. Service was top notch. It felt like we were in a library at times that we had to whisper. Atmosphere was not great.

Absolutely fantastic meal. From the amuse bouche to the passion fruit soufflé every course was superb. Very attentive staff. Pigeon starter, sea bass main and soufflé - perfect combination. Petit fours to finish.

My boyfriend and I came here for dinner during a 2 night stay at Lough Erne. We had the 5 course menu and the food was absolutely fabulous, one of the best meals I have eaten. The meat was cooked to perfection extremely tender, each dish was paired with plenty of delicious and well matched flavours to accompany the dish. The selection of wine was fantastic. The service was brilliant and I thought each dish to come out for serving was timed really well. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in the Enniskillen area.

We had the five course dinner menu with wine pairing and the food was excellent, as was the service. Thomas and his team in the restaurant made it a lovely experience for us. The raspberry soufflé was sublime.

A previous dining experience here 2 years ago was forgettable, with underwhelming food and over whelming pretension. So it's fair to say I feared the worst as we took our seats on a Fateful Easter Sunday a few weeks ago. Service happened at a snails pace. I felt sorry for the young and inexperienced staff. Clearly understaffed and a kitchen meltdown was in full swing. And why are they forced to wear those awful white gloves!? A below average 3 course meal was trickled out over 2.5 hours. A thimble of Soup for starters. Dry hunk of beef for main. And a sticky toffee pudding that was so hard you could have driven it 300 yards off a tee on the back 9. Overpriced for the quality of food. The Tap House and Kilyhevlin are streets ahead. Take stock and look inward Catalina management.

Food quality was good but little disappointed. Duck was overcooked so I couldn’t cut through. I was too hungry so I really wanted to finish it but there was no taste of it. Other courses were very nice but small portion. Took over an hour to get desserts. We were too hungry just sitting there. We asked more drinks but it was also forgotten. Later on, staff says that it’s not available. Maybe too much expectation for five star hotel restaurant. Not sure I would come back.

Loved every minute of it, friendly, courteous staff who added to the whole experience. Food is first class, would highly recommend here

Dinner with brother Saturday night. Beautiful venue, super friendly staff, nice food, exceptional service, nice surroundings. Will come again.

Ate here one of the evenings during our stay at Lough Erne. The 5-course menu was original, local, and delicately flavoured. Service was impeccable and very personable.

We visited on Sunday the 13th November for Sunday lunch with our 18 month old daughter and had an amazing time. The food was delicious but it was the staff and the atmosphere that made the experience perfect. We were made to feel very welcome and our daughter was spoiled by the lovely lady who looked after our table. True 5 star dining.

We visited the resort for “Afternoon Tea” on 8/10/22 for our 6th Wedding Anniversary. To say that the experience was terrible would be an understatement. When we arrived at the restaurant we had wait at the main reception area for at least ten minutes before being seated. When we finally were seated, we were seated behind a large pillar, beside a wall. When the waitress arrived to take order, she brought two cups of tea without any milk, and both of the pots of tea leaked all over the white table cloth. We had to ask the staff TWICE for some milk and new pots of tea that didn’t leak. The afternoon tea we ordered took over 45 minutes to arrive. When it finally arrived it looked like something that had been severely rushed. Slanted desserts, unfinished etc. When you go to a 5* resort for afternoon tea you expect the food and patisserie to be outstanding. This was basic at best. We were served a Victoria sponge cake that was piped extremely poorly and it wasn’t cut straight. We received the end cuttings of the cake as well. The patisserie was basic and bland, even the shortbread was soggy. We ended up not finishing the food, and left extremely disappointed. We have had “Afternoon Tea” at this resort many times in the past and it was fantastic. However this experience was so terrible, I really don’t think I would want to go back to the hotel to eat or stay. Extremely disappointing for a 5* resort.

Had the pleasure of having Afternoon Tea The Catalina Restaurant. The experience from start to finish was delightful. We both went for the Chocolate afternoon tea with the Irish Whiskey Tea and both were delicious. Caitlin our server for the afternoon was knowledgeable and very accommodating. They were able to accommodate that I don’t eat Red Meat or Pork easily. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Couldn’t recommend it more. We will be back. Annmarie and Mary

Food is stunning. Service is even better. Cannot fault it in any way. Very good vegetarian options. Thank you so much !

A lovely high cuisine experience. Have been to many Michelin restaurants and this is up there with best. Uses high quality local provenance food. The taste is exceptional and the service provided by staff is friendly and vey attentive/ relaxed. Really enjoyed it. Added to that, the price is very good value. And that is from a Yorkshire man( if that means anything) . An absolute bargain.

Wonderful family meal to celebrate a Birthday. Staff very knowledgeable with catering for a member of our party with ceoliac disease. We were serve by a young man called Adam, who deserves a mention, nothing was too much hassle, a complete gentleman. Our food was outstanding, everything was explained very thoroughly. We will definitely return in the future. Worth every penny.

Very clued in to vegan & vegetarian diets. Staff are very competent, but a bit too formal & seem to be reciting a script. Food is good but portions are small. Customers seem on edge with all the formality. Very subdued.

What a gastronomic delight! Dinner in The Catalina Restaurant at the beautiful Lough Erne Resort, was on a whole other level. Delicious food, wonderful flavour combinations, delightful presentation, welcoming ambiance and a spectacular view over the lough. Every element of our meal, which began with Smoked Eel, through to starters of Kilkeel Scallops with an Irish Oyster, mains of Lisdergan Beef and Cured Irish Lamb and finishing with desserts of Rhubarb Panna Cotta accompanied by a Rhubarb Sorbet, was superbly presented and came with a detailed description of each of the elements on our plate. Simply superb. This was a restaurant we chose to celebrate a very special occasion and we were not disappointed. It was by far, one of the finest meals we have ever enjoyed. Fine dining at it's best, yes it comes at a price, but this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Highly recommended.

From the willingness of staff to put us by an open window (COVID concerns) the delicious, unusual food, the pleasant, helpful staff and the beautiful lake views on a warm Spring evening - all in all, a delight. Highlights - the asparagus tart, celeriac soup and ice cream sorbets. The tofu main course was interesting! The rock bass came with a variety of tasty garnishes. Wine by the glass was varied and delicious. On our second night we ate in the Loughside Bar - v v sorry we didnt go back to the Catalina!! Erneside - you’ve got this right but the Loughside let’s you down.

I bought a £99 meal voucher which was for 2 adults for five courses When we went to restaurant we took our 2 children along When I settled bill instead of allowing for the 2 adults and just charging for the kids ,all was was jumbled together at full price and £99 taken off bill which meant there was no deal Hotel was contacted 2 days ago and nothing sorted out yet Beware of vouchers at this place

Disappointing meal to say the least. Really poor quality and bland. Basically tasteless. Only positive experience was the fantastic service.

Beautiful food and wine with genuinely friendly service. We come every December and we look forward to the dinner in the Catalina

Visited the Catalina Restaurant at the beautiful Lough Erne Resort with friends for a catch up and a culinary experience of the highest quality. Met by Restaurant Manager Chris on arrival and shown to a beautifully presented Table in the Restaurant. Location was very busy with Diners and the atmosphere was very relaxing and welcoming all round. A new Dinner Menu was presented to us along with a very extensive Wine List. The Menu had a Paired Wine option which was very informative and assisted greatly to our overall experience. The service from Manager Chris and his team was excellent. With each element of the Menu explained in detail we were treated to an unforgettable culinary pleasure from start to finish. The delivery of each element of this Menu was superb from the first taste experience of eel through to the option starters of Pigeon, Game,Halibut and Scallop. The Main course choices were beautifully described with the Venison and Beef being the preferred choices for the company. Each dish was presented to the Table with a full explanation of each element in detail and the quality was superb. The accompanying wine was outstanding. We finished off with the Soufflé, Panna Cotta and Chocolate Desserts. Simply delightful. Executive Chef Mark paid a visit to our Table for a chat and feedback. This was a lovely touch and we all agreed that this was the best culinary experience that we could have had. The Catalina Restaurant is an award winning location and for a very special occasion there is definitely no better place to visit. Pre booking is a necessity and outstanding food comes at a price. A fantastic location in a beautiful Hotel.

A very disappointing and costly stay. Lough Erne has 5 star views of the lake and that's about it. The food at the Catalina Restaurant is sub standard. I almost cracked a tooth after biting down on a duck bone in my duck salad starter. My medium rare sirloin steak was actually raw all the way through and had to be returned. The accompanying sides that came with the main meal were sloppy and bland. What was meant to be a relaxing and stress free break for my mum and I resulted in our room being directly above a noisy marquee and noisy music from the Blaney Bar. The deputy manager (Helen McCune) was very understanding, professional and helpful. We eventually ended up in a lodge and thanks to Gordon and Helen they escorted us there by which time my mum and I were both weary and deflated. We were glad to get home the following day. I believe the hotel and the Catalina Restaurant are over rated. Not the standard we expect from a five star hotel. There is much room for improvement.

We had an overnight stay in Lough Erne golf resort. We were fortunate to have a wonderful meal in the main restaurant. The executive chef Noel McMeel and his staff excelled themselves. It was one of our most memorable meals. They have gluten free menus...

My second time at the Catalina restaurant and I've came to the conclusion it's the best restaurant in Northern Ireland. Just all round fantastic food and service, meat is cooked to absolute perfection deserts are excellent. If you are a foodie and haven't been just pay the money and go!

We treated our family to a hotel stay at Lough Erne and dinner at Catalina Restaurant and all of us (including the young, elderly and picky eaters) enjoyed our food! Both food and service were top class. Will definitely be back! We would like to...

The food here is absolutely superb! We got a little chef special taster to start of salmon and fish egg with a paste. I'm not a fan of either normally but the flavours were amazing. The staff are lovely and really professional. Our waitress recommended a lovely wine to compliment our meal. The beef was so tender and flavoursome. A little tip about the beef I asked for medium rare but it was a little over cooked so go the next level up. Could not fault the experience even with this. Amazing!

Dined at the Catalina for family dinner with young kids and was not disappointed. Good selection for kids. Adults menu was so tempting it was hard to choose. Was not pretentious in any way like some 5 star establishments can be and is a more...

Food outstanding. And service in restaurant was best I have ever received. Check in not so good. And the lodge needs some attention

Amazing food and we have a person with special dietary requirements ... but our chef came out after the dinner and chatted to us about what he prepared and how to cope with food issues ... it was so personal .... we almost feel that...

We booked a package or dinner, B&B and are so glad we did, the meal we had in the Catalina was superb. Every aspect of it was first class. The staff were perfect and the food incredible.

Ate here during our stay at Lough Erne. Fantastic food. The flavours were amazing and the menu was varied enough to cater for all tastes. Couldn’t recommend enough.

The food was really delicious and the staff were very helpful too. Worth a visit when in Fermanagh 👌💗

Not cheap but well worth it for a special occasion. Each course was a little bit of heaven. The staff were wonderful and new everything we needed to know about the food on the menu.

I had the seven course taster menu here and I was not disappointed. It’s a must for any foodies out there. The courses are beautifully presented and the tastes were unparalleled. The service was outstanding with very friendly, knowledgeable staff whose attentiveness was appreciable without infringing on your personal experience.

We stayed at the Lough Erne Resort last year and came back to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on 1st August 2019. My last review reflected the lovely food and accommodation we experienced and I am delighted to say this stay was no different, almost 100% perfect. Once again the staff were delightful, from helping at the car on arrival to our departure.

We have been to the Catalina restaurant a few times last year, and enjoyed the tasting menu on those occasions. This time we booked a regular dinner for 6.30pm on 24/7/19. We were 3 people and arrived on time. There were only 2 or 3 other tables taken in the restaurant. However we were shown to a table and seated in a very abrupt fashion by the woman Maitre D who was in such a rush that she handed me the menu upside down (she didn't even notice). This was not a good start. We ordered dinner from a different server who was very pleasant, together with 2 glasses of sparkling wine and a bottle of wine. We then made the mistake of asking for tap water - the smell of chlorine was horrible. 2 of us ordered the ravioli starter and when it arrived the Maitre D appeared again. This time she sloshed most of the small jug of lobster bisque over my ravioli, instead of pouring carefully around it. My companion got the last dregs of the bisque thrown on top of his starter too. Oh well, never mind I thought, it should taste nice anyway. But sadly not. The pasta was most unpleasant, stodgy, too thickly rolled, and undercooked. My duck main course was tasty but it was served in 2 solid pieces which I thought would be pink and juicy but sadly not. The Chocolate delice was a nice desert. The bill for 3 people with 2 glasses of sparkling wine and 1 bottle of wine was in excess of 230 pounds. This included the service charge as well as a cover charge per person for bread and water. A pretty disappointing experience all round.

We booked a meal in the Catalina Restaurant ten days ahead as this was to be a special family reunion we requested a window seat and this was duly noted. On 4th June we arrived in great spirits and anticipating giving our guests a memorable evening having heard good reviews. After a lack lustre response from the staff in the bar who had to be alerted that no-one had come to take our meal order after half an hour we were still buoyant. On entering the restaurant I observed that all the window seats were occupied and I was told by our server for the evening, the Restaurant Manager Nicola, of all people, that it was “ first come, first served”. Hardly terminology to make you anticipate a warm welcome? We were then informed that there was no Quail left on the menu. Now this was a Monday evening and there were only a few tables occupied. From there the experience was to go rapidly down hill despite our best efforts to remain upbeat. We were very aware of the comings and goings of this staff member whose pointedly noisy removal of cutlery, glasses and general sullen service became an embarrassment. At one point the waiter with our Starter course had to return to the kitchen while the plates of the complimentary course were removed. On another occasion the waitress asked was everything alright. But our guest was astonished to observe that waitress was already out of earshot to hear her reply. And when she politely asked if she could try a little of the eel starter it was as if she hadn’t spoken! The food portions were very meagre and having dined here before we noticed they were even smaller than usual. While in the main the food tasted good many of the flavours of ginger or rhubarb went unnoticed. Apparently the chef was not available on the night. We decided that we would not have desserts because the poor service was so dominating the evening. So we aborted and asked for the bill. My husband complained at the desk directly to the person that the service was very poor and the surcharge was removed. On walking out we were chased down the hall by an anxious waiter from the bar where we first had our pre meal drinks. He was calling out..the bill, the bill! My husband took him aside and learned that the drinks bill had not been added to the restaurant bill! He was very upset to have been humiliated this way and went back to the same Restaurant Manager again! She apologised that it was her fault and that in error the drinks bill had not been added.

Appalling behaviour and service from senior staff. No professionalism from bar staff or waiting staff (a manager) on our visit.Not up to standard for a 5* Luxury resort. Embarrassing for guests to witness and a complete waste of over £200. People look forward to dining occasions such as this and to have been subjected to a scowling rude waitress was unprofessional and unfathomable. It baffles me as to how it is acceptable for a ‘luxury’ resort with supposed exceptional standards can have grossly underperforming staff.

Had dinner as part of our package in the Lough Erne Resort. The surrounding were lovely, facing into sunshine over the lake. Menu good and service good a little slow but it is a fine dining experience.

The service was impeccable and the food was sublime. It really is fine dining so small potions of exquisite culinary delights.

We had the dinner menu and there was a good choice of food. The food we had was of a very high standard. The wine was a merlot and was very good. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Every mouthful, every morsel was magnificent. Noel has such craft and imagination and is utterly dedicated to showing off the wonderful local produce at his disposal. This is cooking of the very highest order. The staff too are really friendly and professional in equal measure...hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Myself and partner had the tasting menu and it was just excellent. Every course was beautiful and the service and wine paring was brilliant.

My wife and I had a fantastic meal that was made all the better with the variety of foods my wife could have as she celiac disease. The staffs knowledge was very impressive of what my wife could and couldn't have. We also had a delicious breakfast in same restaurant. Great variety and very fresh and full of taste.

Excellent meal and service, of note the very good quality wine pairings. The Duck ravioli was the star of the evening.

Best restaurant in Fermanagh, lovely staff, great desserts, the amuse Bouche was to die for (smoked eel with crisp capers)

Wonderful treat at this very special restaurant. 5* service from charming waitresses and excellent selection of breakfast fare. One lovely waitress overheard us briefly mention between us that it was a birthday celebration and appeared with a ‘happy birthday’ decorated plate and delicious little truffles.

We were lucky to eat at the restaurant on both nights during our say in the Lough Erne and thank god we did. Both our meals each night was stunning and would highly recommend the Beef main.

We had our meals here on 2 nights of our stay, gorgeous food and beautifully presented, delicious.

We had 2 evening meals in this restaurant. Fine dining food was excellent, good choice and well presented. Staff were very pleasant but could be a little more polished for a true 5 star restaurant. The £48 for 2 courses is probably £5 to £10 too expensive.

Hotel and a fabulous barman David’s recommendation and didn’t disappoint at all.

I been here a few times and it never drops in standard.

My husband and I visited the Lough Erne Resort for our wedding anniversary taking advantage of their winter break deal with 5-course meal in the Catalina restaurant. I use a wheelchair and I’m vegan so I will give an honest review from both these perspective. The hotel could not be faulted; the staff were polite, friendly and very professional making our stay absolutely outstanding.

I have eaten in this restaurant several times and on each occasion both the food and service have been outstanding. As a vegetarian it is lovely to visit a fine dining restaurant that really makes an effort with their vegetarian menu and doesn't simply offer risotto! A lovely experience that I would recommend to friends and family.

We had our evening meal and also breakfast. Delicious food. The dining room staff were very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend the Catalina Restaurant.

Fantastic experience once again in the multi award winning Catalina Restaurant. Pan Fried Hake was simply sublime and the fantastic rhubarb soufflé was worth every minute of the wait. If you want sonewhere you’re made to feel like a VIP and where you can utterly indulge yourself this is a must visit location. By the way the breakfast was amazing the next morning too.

The food at this restaurant is excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant serves an excellent breakfast with a wide choice. Dinner is first class.

Could not fault the setting both inside & out....it's simply elegant throughout. The food was excellent from start to finish and was beautifully presented. The jewel in the crown is the Executive Chef Noel McMeel both for his very innovative take on modern Irish cuisine and his very personable manner with the clientele. The service though lost one star in that it was beyond slow at times even though the restaurant was not playing to a full house the evening we dined. All in all though, I would highly recommend this fine restaurant.

Our experience was a delight from beginning to end. The food was superb as was the staff. Would highly recommend.

An excellent experience from start to finish. We , a party of 9 were ushered to the lounge overlooking the lake for pre dinner drinks which were expertly and graciously served. Then to the dining room where The Executive Chef Noël Mc Meel talked us through the Menu with great charm and expertise. The food arrived quite promptly but with enough space to savour each course.The food was delicious and the wine suggestions for each dish very appropriate. The service was flawless and cheerful and both waitresses seemed genuinely concerned tha we all enjoyed our dining experience

Had the great pleasure to visit the Catalina Restaurant with my wife for evening Dinner and again for Breakfast the next morning.

Noel McMeel and staff simply excelled themselves. The food was amazingly tasty with perfect portion sizes and the restaurant staff were exceptionally fab with their customer service and knowledge

Basic.... drinks reception was pathetic, plenty of bubbles, well chilled, a small bucket of beer, and I mean small.. tea and coffee, I don’t know about tea but the coffee was disgusting, light brown water, really really weak coffee. Yuck. I dread to think what the lovely couple were charged for this pathetic drinks reception god love them.

I was at this Resort today and dined in the Catalina restaurant.

Excellent food and wine at dinner. Breakfast a bit crowded. Polished service at dinner. Creative desserts.

We dined at the restaurant and, to be honest, expected more! The service was fine! The food was tasty, however, far too much salt was used in cooking. . .everything!!! Enjoyable, but very overpriced!

We were staying in the Lough Erne Resort Hotel and treated ourselves to a meal in the Catalina Restaurant on our first night. The restaurant is elegant and very comfortable. Our waiter was very attentive and described each course to us. The chef visited us after the meal which we really enjoyed. All produce is sourced locally and prepared when ordered. Overall a very nice meal in a lovely setting.

I was last here in the summer of 2014 (my review of the restaurant is within a hotel review of the Lough Erne Resort). On that occasion I really enjoyed dinner. Couldn’t fault it.

Nous y avons diné 1 soir de semaine, les exterieurs sont magnifiques et grandioses c'est 1 vrai 5*. Le décor de la salle de resto est assez basique mais surtout la moquette au sol est rédibitoire pour nous, mais chacun ses gouts.

This was my first visit to the Lough Erne resort's Catalina restaurant, situated within the hotel itself. My wife had been last year but as a regular at McNeans of Blacklion I hesitated to give it a go, but very glad I did. It was a Sunday lunch, decent value at £22 for 2 courses and £28 for 3.

We have visited this restaurant on a number of occasions and it is always of really high quality. Recently we have had both a tasting menu and the set a la carte and both were of incredibly high quality. We were with some friends and they had the same opinion...fantastic!

We had a delicious, romantic meal in Catalina, with our one year old son... No mean feat! The service was attentive and friendly, nobody batted an eyelid when my baby helped me knock over a glass of wine, the food was thoughtful and beautifully presented and full of flavour and the whole experience was an absolute pleasure.

We stayed in the Lough Erne Resort and had a 3 course meal in the Catalina Restaurant. I had crab for starters, duck for mains and a blackberry soufflé for dessert. The food was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend had pork belly, venison and a white chocolate parfait and loved each course. The service was second to none. The staff were so friendly and professional and made our experience more enjoyable. The wine was also lovely! Would definitely recommend!

Went with friends for a very special meal to celebrate end of year Event.

Had dinner here Sunday evening. Dylan was the friendliest most efficient young man, very well mannered,polite and very attentive without being intrusive. He explained the dishes exceptionally well. There was another young girl called Lou, also very friendly.

The evening meal was a delightful tasty and leisurely affair which suited us fine. I really enjoyed the use of local food and the chef who made the mashed potatoes deserves a raise and my better half loved the ice-cream.

This is the main restaurant for the resort so we dined and breakfasted there, superb. Breakfast, a la carte had to be seen to be believed.

Sunday lunch with family recently. I would have given an excellent rating apart from the actions of a bar waitress. Arriving early for lunch, we sat down and were approached by a bar waitress for our order. Two of us had chosen our drinks but my wife was hesitant in making up her mind. The bar waitress left us and went off to talk to the barman with her back to us. I had to wait until she had turned around some 3 minutes later before I could give her the outstanding drink to fulfil our order. Unbecoming of a 5 star establishment! However, the remainder of our experience was superb. The Catalina Restaurant was delightfully lit with wall mirrors to enhance the décor. White table cloths and serviettes added to the fine dining experience. 2 course Sunday lunch was £22.50 and £28.50 for the 3 course option. 10% gratuity was added to the total bill. We chose the Sirloin of Irish Beef with Yorkshire pudding, champ mash, roast potatoes, and vegetables. The desserts were excellent and not only tasty but pleasing to the eye. The restaurant was packed but service was prompt and the waiters and waitress were polite and courteous. Well worth the trip.

This is not my usual type of restaurant but dinner here was included in a voucher I was given. For me this was a real experience. I've only seen food & service like this on tv! I had crab for starter, beef for main, the most amazing chocolate dessert with the nicest glass of merlot I've ever tasted. These all came with little accompliments to finish the courses off. I was out of my comfort zone here but the meal & staff were out of the world! I'd definitely recommend here if it's within your budget.

Así que sin duda habría dado este restaurante 5 estrellas haber tenido sólo una comida allí. La cena era absolutamente maravilloso - absolutamente de primera clase con una excelente carta de vinos, bien de precio. Fue una muy caro (un poco caro, me pareció) pero muy, muy de alta calidad. Con tales expectativas, me decepcionó bastante durante el desayuno - el servicio (el personal tenía que recordar un par de veces), los cubiertos estaban desconchadas, las de té era más elaboradas. Corregir fácilmente, pero no todo es aceptable en una propiedad como esta.

Mi marido tenía una comida de tres platos, y tuve una comida de dos platos. Compartimos todos los platos y me pareció que cada uno era exquisito. Muy bien preparado y servido. Fue la mejor comida que he tenido en años.

Bad experience last night. I had the crab and the "signature dish". I've never had such dry pork in my life. If this is the signature... served out of a microwave. My wife's duck was also dry. Wrong wines were served with the food (I never saw a bottle...). The white wine was warm. My plate was broken.The bread was ok, but not the type of bread you serve with olive oil.The Michelin star is far far far away. MacDonalds has a bigger chance to reach this stadium.Resume: the UK has no food culture... Nice you guys love this fantastic restaurant.

My wife and I dined her over a St Valentine's Day break and had a superb meal and service that was second to none. We arrived at our due time and were quickly shown to our table, the server introduced herself, explained what the special of the day was and after giving us some menus left us alone for a few minutes to make our selections. When she returned she asked if we needed more time and did not pressure us into making any rash decisions, she took our wine order and on returning with the wine took our order. My wife had the mushroom ravioli and thought it was beautiful, I against my better judgement opted for the Kilkeel crab dish and found it a little underwhelming, this was purely my fault as I am not a great lover of seafood but was trying to be adventurous. It looked delicious and I am sure that those with a taste for seafood would have found it superb. For her main my wife had the hake, pan fried with Tarogan oil and said it was fantastic, I returned to my usual and had the fillet steak which was to die for, cooked exactly as ordered and served with root vegetables. For dessert we both had the Chocolate Delice and it was delicious. Overall the meal was soperb anf the service outstanding. We will certainly return in the near future.

We booked a resort break with our family for New years eve. As part of our package we delighted in the tasting menu which was delightful. From start to finish each course was cooked to perfection by Noel and his team. There was just enough to satisfy all our appetites. The service we received was excellent as always and if anything my only minor complaint would be if anything they could have afforded to allow a little more time between courses.

A really quality place to eat. The portion size was perfect for us and we managed three courses. It's was pleasant to be asked we we would like extra bread or vegetables as this doesn't happen at some 5 star places . Good value for money as is the Blaney bar

I made a reservation for dinner, as it was my boyfriends 50th birthday. The food was beautiful with great attention to detail.

We were staying at the hotel so too far to drive into town - fairly plain food but adequate if you are hungry

Really enjoyed my meal last night here. The service is absolutely exceptional and the food was to die for! The executive chef went around all the tables after service to receive feedback - lovely touch. I had the crab to start and duck for mains. Best duck I've ever had. Highly recommend.Top class food! Top call service! Worth every penny.

Myself and theweebuns treated ourselves to a date night here and the reason I'm giving this 5/5 is because of the flavours from the food. The atmosphere was a bit stale however we were distracted by a wee amuse-bouche and breads. The curry bread was delicious literally brought back a childhood memory's which was awesome! Kudos to the chefs for a flavourful night

We arrived at Lough Erne after a long overseas journey and decided to eat at the hotel because we were tired and unfamiliar with the area. This was an excellent choice. The food was excellent. I had perfectly prepared duck and my husband had very nice pork. Service was friendly and thoughtful. We had breakfast there the next morning and it was equally good. Full marks all around.

I ate here about 2 weeks ago with my wife. I can't fault the food on taste, all was very nice. However, the portion sizes are extremely small. I had the quail (tiny bird!) starter which was so small, they must have gotten 10 portions from 1 bird. The supplements are also quite annoying, considering it's quite a hefty charge @ £45 for 3 courses + 10% gratuity for 'convenience'. At most other restaurants, this gratuity is usually only applied when there are large parties dining. I had the lamb for main, which was very nice, but I don't see why it incurs a £6 supplement. It's not for some rare caviar imported from Russia - it's just lamb, there's loads of the little feckers around the country! Similarly, the cheeseboard was an extra £6 when taken in lieu of dessert. There's not much in the way of sides offered with the mains - a bit of mash and some carrots. It's a lovely dining room, staff are very pleasant and the food is tasty, though not out of this world. I just think it's overpriced. It needs to up it's game to justify the price. McNean's is a just a little more expensive, but I'd rather pay that as it's worth it.

We dined in The Catalina as part of our stay at the Lough Erne Resort. All I can say is it was stunning. The restaurant itself is lovely. We had a three course meal and couldn't find fault with any of it, it was beautiful. What stood out most though were the staff. They were all so pleasant, not just the usual smile, take your order and leave. They made conversation with us and made us feel extremely welcome. There was a couple sat near us that were were being quite difficult and the lady that was dealing with them was so patient and polite, even though they were purposely trying to be difficult. I would love to go back to this restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone that is visiting Fermanagh.
