It is fitting that Jack's is at the very tip of the rarely visited Cromane peninsula, a few steps away from the bay. You get the feeling that your dinner had been swimming a few yards away until that evening. The first thing that strikes you is the super-modern, elegant decor, unusual in Ireland. The second thing that strikes you... More

We have been regular visitors to Ireland for many years on a work and pleasure basis. My wife and I visited Jack's on a hurried weekend trip from Cardiff and what a wonderful discovery! The meal we enjoyed was delicious, beautifully presented and reasonably priced considering the quality and service. The views from the restaurant are spectacular but please don't... More

My rating is based on the level of service before and during our night out at this restaurant. An hours journey was made especially to experience if all the adverts lived up to what was claimed. We arrived deliberately 15 minutes before our booking to relax and enjoy the location overlooking the laune. Drinks served and menus passed out and... More

Had visited this place whilst on a break. The 4 of us had a nice evening and the menu was varied and certainly no complaints. Staff were very welcoming and professional. Nice location. Worth a visit. I wouldnt say cheap, but I would say expensive either. The owner has made a good job in this location and hope this place... More

Went here over the weekend and we had oysters to start with and they were so tasty, for mains we both had fish and we both couldn't stop talking how amazing it was. It's so clean, modern and the staff are so friendly , it's a credit to the owner.

Had dinner as two families with 9 people in total and the staff was very welcoming of the children. There is an amazing field in front of the restaurant, overlooking the sea. Great for the kid to run out and play in between courses. The atmosphere is a nice mix of being formal in the restaurant but very casual pub... More

We have visited Ireland many times, but sadly have only just discovered Jacks. An amazing place, food, staff, service,views, ambiance, what more can I say. Its described as a little gem, its so much more than that. Although they do have meat dishes on the menu if you are a fish/seafood lover you have to visit, its a must. We... More

I have been a regular visitor to Jack's along with family and friends for several years now and would sum it up by saying '' Excellent Food, Great Atmosphere , Beautiful Views and Efficient & Friendly Staff '' . For me the real test of a good restuarant is how consistent the cooking/food is and I have to say that... More
