J. P.

I love this place for brush or lunch. I don’t know how they do it, food is served canteen style on trays, but it still feel stylish. Food is tasty and portions good. Nice seating indoor and outdoor area.

J. M.

Just had lunch here today everything was lovely, food very good, staff friendly. 😊

P. B.

Beautiful dining room. Sausages excellent and generous serve. Delicious smashed avocado, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon. Bacon either overcooked or not sufficiently fatty to be tasty. Coffee OK but slightly bitter. Good decaf. Friendly service.

N. L.

Great place, well run, and lovely food. A very easy dining experience but just that little bit nicer than the canteen. I've eaten here a bunch of times and it's always equally pleasant.

P. T.

Lovely place for lunch or a coffee,but you need to book especially at lunchtime. staff were helpful and the food was good ,had the hake which I'd recommend.the only down side was the desert. got the Eton mess but it wasn't in a glass, all ingredients we were put on a plate separately and left like that,not mixed together as normal ,meringue was also too hard ,pity.

Returned to dine at the Fern House Restaurant after a 2 year absence due to covid. Nice as usual but how the prices have jumped each main course was considerably more expensive than before. We will look elsewhere

E. H.

Very nice café, gorgeous location with views over the garden, sitting in a greenhouse. Only issue was the acoustics, it got pretty loud as the place filled up with people. Food was a little pricey but delicious!

M. K.

Fabulous atmosphere. Best minestrone soup ever. Let down on Main Course but gave me my dessert for free. So, definately worth a visit.

B. H.

My husband and I had the most lovely pre-birthday breakfast here on Sunday. The mimosas were perfect and the food was delicious! High quality and good portion size. We couldn’t have asked for better ambiance or service. This place is truly a gem, as you feel like you’re dining in a secret fern garden. Highly recommend.

M. S.

Brought the other half there for a night out. Great onion soup and the steak, I almost couldn't finish. Other ave had fish with risotto and it was awesome. We shared the ice creams and they were superb. Great place, brilliant food, amazing staff. Cant wait to be back.

R. O.

Always good food with relaxing surroundings

S. S.

Location, decor and staff were fantastic. They had a poor veagn option and went out of their way to accommodate me with another few options. They were wonderful to my mother as it was her birthday. Food was nice but I precheck the vegan options. We had a great time. Thanks everyone, we look forward to coming back.

D. N.

Had a delicious birthday breakfast here with my sister last weekend. It was a lovely treat located in a gorgeous setting & the service was superb. Will definitely be back.

D. S.

Just back home after a beautiful birthday breakfast in the fern house cafe complete with cake.

P. S.

Excellent menu and service. Fab views.

A. L.

Excellent, fresh food. Perfectly prepared roasted halibut. This is the only place that I could find halibut and I was not disappointed. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. Order the pitcher of lemonade too. It's lovely. You can only get the halibut through the week and it's probably seasonal.

M. K.

Beautiful place. Very spacious and always busy. Staff was friendly and food really nice and fresh. Only had soup and dessert but it was very tasty. I'll go back for main next time.

D. L.

Last Thursday 6th Dec I had a most enjoyable evening with friends at the Fern House . I have serious food allergies and they went to huge trouble to accommodate my dietary requirements including having a dish not on the menu prepared especially. The staff were all polite and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.

A. B.

Location is very impressive with lovely garden setting. Food and menu was good but a little plain for the level it aspires to. Service was very slow but restaurant busy. Staff very nice and welcoming. 3.5 stars

E. C.

Lovely, romantic restaurant in a huge, leafy conservatory. The ambiance is smart but semi-formal, not suffocating. Our waiter was the kindest, most professional person I've ever been served by. Too bad I can't remember his name.

N. B.

Lovely location and ambience. Nice menu- not too extensive but quite pricey. Food very good. Wine list could be a bit more adventurous. All in all a good experience.

C. R.

Favourite restaurant....food, staff, service all first class. Next door in the casual restaurant you see all the desserts on display and they will bring any of these fabulous beauties to your table at Fern House. Best part of the meal.yummy

S. M. k.

Staff friendly and quick service and food was only amazing

D. W.

Fantastic room with the biggest sash windows i have ever seen! Very friendly staff, reasonable menu choices and good quality produce. Mostly need to book on weekends unless you go for an early breakfast.

M. W.

It was a lovely day and we stopped there for a bite to eat, I had never been there before but I will definitely go there again. Food was excellent and the staff were brilliant, nothing was a problem. We had a good table outside, but it was really nice inside too. Would recommend !

L. C.

Absolutely beautiful food excellent staff really friendly and helpful. First of many visits!!!!!

C. B.

Enjoyable ok staff too expensive for simple food doesn't add up. Could be great if it offered old fashioned irish food at reasonable prices everyone wants to go out to eat in a nice place but can't as it is a no go for even small family numbers . Check out pricing and menus on any French menu way to go. We are being ripped off in Ireland. Shame on the idiots who think smart people go here they don't.

S. G.

massively over priced for what it is. salt in monkstown is much better. the portion size between the 2 is ridiculous. salts presentation of food is much better, they give the impression they care more about how they plate it up in salt than they do in the fern house. Quite possibly because they charge a service charge they don't really care about the service they offer in Fern house( a lot of the time you get the impression staff don't want to be there and they are just going through the motions) staff in salt couldn't do more than enough for you they have much better attention to detail they don't charge a service charge so I don't know if that makes them more inclined to engaged with customers to ensure they get a tip? however they do an amazing job and give off the impression they are now interested in their customers experience. I also don't understand tyre logic of the portions in The fern house ordering poached eggs and toast foot get THREE eggs and one slice of toast??? what's that about would love to know the logic behind that ratio. if I was to choose between the 2 Avoca premises hands down id travel to monkstown to go to salt over going to the fern house. thou they both offer fairly similar menus salt out does fern house in presentation, portion, attention to detail and staff customer interaction.

T. C.

They do a fantastic breakfast here! Poached eggs, avocado and sour dough bread is the absolute dream! Can be a little pricey but it's worth the food and service. The décor is so creative and beautiful with high glass windows.

G. B.
